Gone Lyrics
Hey
Where were you today
How did you escape
Away
No one gets away
Cause no one's gone
Fate
Guided me to hate
Invited me to take
The bait
Realized too late
That I was gone
Say
How can you explain
The person to the pain
And then the sickness to the sane
It's all gone
Most of us get riled up
Justify the lies that we believe
Not enough to disbelieve them
I've been thinking you've been treating
Situations seemingly unkind
Stop it seems to still be working
(not exact:)
Change your heart
Save yourself (?)
Some damn one
On this ship
Fall on sand
And kiss the ground
Where were you today
How did you escape
Away
No one gets away
Cause no one's gone
Guided me to hate
Invited me to take
The bait
Realized too late
That I was gone
How can you explain
The person to the pain
And then the sickness to the sane
It's all gone
Most of us get riled up
Justify the lies that we believe
Not enough to disbelieve them
I've been thinking you've been treating
Situations seemingly unkind
Stop it seems to still be working
Change your heart
Save yourself (?)
Some damn one
On this ship
Fall on sand
And kiss the ground

How can you explain The person to the pain And then the sickness to the sane
beautiful.
and I was thinking maybe he actually says, "not enough to just believe them." Anyone else think so?
The final two minutes of this song, with the ethereal keyboard instrumentation and the soft, elegant guitar which soon becomes accompanied by the muffled drum beat is some of the best Built to Spill you will hear. Which is saying something considering I love all 6 of their studio albums.
This song is about missed opportunities and being able to keep your head up after things don't got the way you planned.
And coping with death...but that goes without saying with BTS.
