Consider Me Gone

The song starts out … You can't stay there You can't stay there You can't stay there You can't stay there There were rooms of forgiveness...

This song may have been about Sting’s idea that he wanted life to work out better in his parents’ home but it didn’t. He felt that he was trying but his efforts reached their limitations and he left.

This is just a guess because I would think it takes plenty of energy to break into stardom as a creative artist. The massive amounts of energy would be churning against the other energies of the house not working to gear themselves up to this huge leap. I think his doctor probably did tell him it would be wise to leave and not turn back and it makes sense to me. He’s a very creative person—even though he contends he was trying and I’m sure he was—the impetus of budding stardom may have made him seem impossible to others. If your destiny is to become a creative mastermind, stardom doesn’t usually skulk around in small towns, knocking on doors and looking for musical compositions in closets. And many times, those hometown ties need cutting to release your creative spirit. And ... he couldn't stay there ...

This song didn't have a lover relationship feel to it for me. I don't think he would say he had tried so hard to make his marriage to Fran work and that his doctor advised him to cut out--I think he was quite in love with Fran until he was unexpectedly zapped in the heart by his dreamgirl--Trudie.
