With the fusion of electronics and classy pop-punk, ABANDONED BY BEARS were not limited by the frames music is typically written. “We don't follow the norm or what is right or wrong, we follow what we think sounds good. Our songwriting process is very unorthodox in a way, since we record everything ourselves, we can basically decide when we want to record and that gives us a type of freedom which shines through in the songs. All of us have the ability to play and understand each others instruments, so everyone writes, whether it’d be melodies, lyrics, guitar leads or drum fills.”

So Far Gone
Abandoned By Bears Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Along with my whole mind
And anything but apathy is hard to find
My soul is disconnected from all that i used to know
It's getting hard to know where I'm supposed to go
Now I am so far gone
I don't know where I belong
With all these curses
Why can't I ever seem to get things right
And closure is too far out of sight
For me
My brain is under pressure, It's buried underground
I try to find a place where I am safe and sound
Life keeps passing by
And I spent every day trying to figure out why
Life keeps passing by
And i just don't know why
Collapse and relapse into my old ways
I feel like I am drifting, like I've been gone for days
The lyrics of Abandoned By Bears's So Far Gone convey a sense of disconnection, uncertainty and confusion in the singer's life. He describes the deterioration of his mental clarity as everything he used to know begins to become distant and unrecognizable to him. He finds it hard to maintain an emotional connection to anything and anyone beyond a state of apathy. The singer seems lost and disconnected from any known path that he should take, and it's becoming harder for him to discover where he should go, what he should do and what he should feel.
The chorus of the song suggests that the singer has reached a point where he feels entirely detached from everything around him, to the extent where he no longer knows where he belongs or what to do. He feels like he is carrying a weight so heavy that he becomes tired of carrying it, making it harder for him to sustain his drive for a better life. The lyrics convey a desire for this burden to be lifted from his life, and for him to attain some sense of closure. The chorus represents the singer's plea for change, a change that will allow him to move forward with his life.
The song's overall theme explores the challenges of coping with mental instability, the toll it takes on someone's life and their battle to keep life moving. It conveys a sense of fear of the unknown, coupled with the desire to find an anchor in something solid. The song aims to let the listeners know that they aren't alone in their struggles, and that there is always hope when things seem the bleakest.

My thoughts are getting jaded
I am losing clarity and becoming unsure
Along with my whole mind
This is affecting my entire mental state
And anything but apathy is hard to find
I have become emotionally numb
My soul is disconnected from all that i used to know
I feel separated from my past experiences and self
It's getting hard to know where I'm supposed to go
I am feeling lost and unsure of my direction
Now I am so far gone
I am at a point of no return
I don't know where I belong
I feel like I don't fit in anywhere
I find hard to carry on
It's difficult for me to keep going
With all these curses
I am struggling against difficult circumstances
Why can't I ever seem to get things right
I feel like I make the wrong choices
And closure is too far out of sight
I can't seem to get resolution or closure
For me
This is personally affecting me
My brain is under pressure, It's buried underground
I am feeling overwhelmed and weighed down by my thoughts
I try to find a place where I am safe and sound
I am seeking safety and security
Life keeps passing by
Time is moving forward
And I spent every day trying to figure out why
I am constantly trying to understand my circumstances
Collapse and relapse into my old ways
I regress back into old habits and patterns
I feel like I am drifting, like I've been gone for days
I feel like I am aimlessly moving and have lost track of time
