All Gone Lyrics
I take a hammer and I break my legs
I break 'em for the better
The two of them were always walkin' me
Into the stormy weather
I got the government to change my name, yeah
Change it altogether
The silly thing, it never had a ring,
As though it skipped a letter, letter, letter
Now that you're all gone, all gone, all gone
I bet you don't feel lighter
Oh, no, I don't feel lighter
So there's a little left over
Yeah, there's a lot left over
Though I'm all gone, ooh, ooh, ooh
I take a pistol and I blow my brain
I blow it out the window
The little thing was always actin' strange
And thinkin' like a devil
I'm getting close to reinventing me, yeah
Zeroing my levels
I get the feeling that it will not be
At all or any better, better, better
Now that you're all gone, all gone, all gone
I bet you don't feel lighter
Oh, no, I don't feel lighter
Cause I did it wrong, did it wrong, did it wrong
So there's a little left over
Yeah, there's a lot left over
Though I'm all gone, all gone, all gone, all gone
Oh, I gotta get away
From myself
I gotta get help
Ooh...
I take a hammer
Yeah, I take a little pistol
Yeah, I got the government
I got the old prime minister, I
Built a bomb, yeah a big, old bomb
And I put it on a tether
Spin it around 'til the bomb goes off
And now I'm floating in the ever, ever, after
Now that you're all gone, all gone, all gone
I bet you don't feel lighter
No, I don't feel lighter
Cause I did it wrong, did it wrong, did it wrong
(All gone)
So there's a little left over
Yeah, there's a lot left over
Though I'm all gone, all gone, all gone
I bet you don't feel lighter
Oh, no, I don't feel lighter
Cause I'm all gone
Ooh, ooh, ooh
I break 'em for the better
The two of them were always walkin' me
Into the stormy weather
I got the government to change my name, yeah
Change it altogether
The silly thing, it never had a ring,
As though it skipped a letter, letter, letter
I bet you don't feel lighter
Oh, no, I don't feel lighter
So there's a little left over
Yeah, there's a lot left over
Though I'm all gone, ooh, ooh, ooh
I blow it out the window
The little thing was always actin' strange
And thinkin' like a devil
I'm getting close to reinventing me, yeah
Zeroing my levels
I get the feeling that it will not be
At all or any better, better, better
I bet you don't feel lighter
Oh, no, I don't feel lighter
Cause I did it wrong, did it wrong, did it wrong
So there's a little left over
Yeah, there's a lot left over
Though I'm all gone, all gone, all gone, all gone
From myself

Ooh...
Yeah, I take a little pistol
Yeah, I got the government

Though I'm all gone, all gone, all gone
I bet you don't feel lighter
Oh, no, I don't feel lighter
Cause I'm all gone
Ooh, ooh, ooh

To me, this song portrayed a reflection on self destructive behaviors. They talk about how they destroy everything they hate about themselves thinking that it will make them feel better, but instead, they realize that they’re not any happier. In fact, I’d argue that they’re sad upon the reality and wish they didn’t destroy themselves. Realizing that now, they don’t have anything left of what they used to be.
i'm fairly certain it's like,,,just trans bro,,,,it's got those trans hints everywhere,,,
there's stuff about changing their name because they're uncomfortable with it, 'reinventing me',,,
also "i gotta get away ... from myself ... i gotta get help" could refer to wanting to escape their assigned gender at birth and maybe get some support,,,
i guess
