Gone Lyrics
Now I stand with you at hand
Now I live with nothing to give
Cause it's gone
Now I stand with you underhand
Cause it's gone
Now I live with nothing to give
Cause it's gone
Now I stand with you underhand
Cause it's gone

Kat said in an interview that this sing is about Kurt Cobain. As this song is from 1992, it doesn't talk about Kurt's death, but maybe when he got famous they distanced from eachother. Idk, heres the fragment of the interview, and the link to it is below it.
FONTANELLE: “Gone” 1992
PHAWKER:The last one off of this album, “Gone”. I really love the breaking of the plates.
KAT BJELLAND: Oh, haha, the bottles?
PHAWKER: And you know, the screaming and emotional fit. It’s so, Shakespearean in a way. In the sense that it’s kind of a lament. Can you talk a little about that?
KAT BJELLAND: Wow you really studied your songs. I’m really impressed, that makes me feel good….it was about Kurt (Cobain) being gone and the counterpart of that whole problem. Someone told me that I should do that live but I’m afraid I’ll cry if I do it. I used all the bottles that we had accumulated from drinking a pachyderm, we saved them all up and I threw them at a cement wall while I was singing. I did it all at once, it was spontaneous. I was back here behind the garage and kicking leaves you know because I have to pace when I talk. There is so many condoms back here.
PHAWKER: Really?
KAT BJELLAND: It’s, you know, a way secluded garage area. Just a little aside here. (laughs) Little something on the side.

This song is one of the creepiest songs ever. On the album version, Lori throws glass bottles in the background while Kat's voice wails like a demon possessed spirit. The lyrics on the record are different then the lyrics printed in the album flap. On the record Kat says at the end, "Take my hand, our friendship's dead." It's about a broken friendship and how you'll never get it back.
The harmonies in this song are amazing.. The lyrics as sung are- Now I live with nothing to give, Coz its gone, gone, gone. Here I stand, at your command, Coz its gone, Gone, gone. COZ ITS GONEx2 Take my hand, our friendships dead, Coz its gone, gone, gone. COZ ITS GONEx4. gone
i like the glass smashing and the scream
it's peculiar. I love all sounds of this songs. And also the idea of broken glasses under kat's snake-like voice
I agree with the person who called this song creepy. It is. Very. The glass shattering paired with the screaming never fails to creep me out. I'm not sure what it's about, but whatever it is, it must be pretty morbid.
