Gone Lyrics

Save me, save me baby
Save me from this season's dead air
Take me, take me baby
Blind naked and scared
So scared
Want you to burn me, burn me baby
And cover your eyes with my ashes
C'mon and why don't you pray for me baby
Sit back and watch my divine spark flash
chorus:
Gone
Good riddance I am gone
Gone in a wasted way
Wasted my way
I'm gone
So pull, push and pull on me baby
With your fingernails full of fur
I want you to stab me baby
Do it, do it, 'cause you know it don't hurt
chorus
Jinx me, jinx me baby
Beautiful like a fool
C'mon and remove me baby
Dilated and burned
chorus

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

I always thought it was about dying from a heroin overdose.
