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.
