I’ll Be Gone
Wake up slowly I feel ripped off when they’re not here, ‘cause it’s
Cold and lonely silent when they’re not here
I’m alone they are gone but it goes like this, and
I will be gone
Getting into my dreams
I’ve listened to what they told me
About how it’s going to be
How it’s going to be
Wake up slowly I feel ripped off when they’re not here, ‘cause it’s
Cold and lonely silent when they’re not here
I’m alone they are gone but it goes like this, and
I will be gone
Getting into my dreams
I’ve listened to what they told me
About how it’s going to be
How it’s going to be
Yes you’ve told me and it’s true
I’m not likely to be you
Everybody said I would
Now I know I’m not
Just a matter of time embrace me
You’re my light in the dark
Could you be here or could you not be
You’re my everything
I will be gone
Getting into my dreams
I’ve listened to what they told me
About how it’s going to be
How it’s going to be
interpretation
For me the song is about (temporarily losing your parents, likely early in life: feeling ripped off that they are not here.
The main character realises she will also be gone sometime, both on short term (living their dreams) and in the long term (gone like the parents).
