Cups
Anna Kendrick (Jellosea Remix) Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I got my ticket for the long way ‘round
Two bottle ‘a whiskey for the way
And I sure would like some sweet company
And I’m leaving tomorrow, wha-do-ya say?

When I’m gone
When I’m gone
You’re gonna miss me when I’m gone
You’re gonna miss me by my hair
You’re gonna miss me everywhere, oh
You’re gonna miss me when I’m gone

When I’m gone
When I’m gone
You’re gonna miss me when I’m gone
You’re gonna miss me by my walk
You’re gonna miss me by my talk oh
You’re gonna miss me when I’m gone

I’ve got my ticket for the long way ‘round
The one with the prettiest of views
It’s got mountains, it’s got rivers, it’s got sights even shivers
But it sure would be prettier with you

When I’m gone
When I’m gone
You’re gonna miss me when I’m gone
You’re gonna miss me by my walk
You’re gonna miss me by my talk, oh
You’re gonna miss me when I’m gone

When I’m gone
When I’m gone
You’re gonna miss me when I’m gone
You’re gonna miss me by my hair
You’re gonna miss me everywhere
Oh you’re gonna miss me when I’m gone

When I’m gone
When I’m gone
You’re gonna miss me when I’m gone
You’re gonna miss me by my walk




You’re gonna miss me by my talk, oh
You’re gonna miss me when I’m gone

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of the Jellosea Remix of Anna Kendrick’s “Cups” convey a sense of longing and farewell. In the first verse, the singer (presumably Kendrick herself) is leaving on a journey and wants some companionship, requesting for some “sweet company”. The second verse, however, suggests that the journey is not just a physical one, but could also signify a goodbye. The chorus repeats the phrase “You’re gonna miss me when I’m gone” twice, and intersperses it with the different attributes that the singer believes the listener would miss (“by my hair”, “by my walk”, “by my talk”, and “everywhere”).


There are several interpretations of the song; some see it as a reference to leaving a lover, while others believe it is a song about leaving behind a difficult life or a past version of oneself. Nevertheless, the lyrics clearly express the singer’s anticipation of being missed by the listener, and a yearning for a deeper sense of connection or significance.

lets analyse the nonsense /lies many amongst you believe in:
lie: schools are of use (fact. schools keep slavery alive and stands for dumbing down the population of mankind)
lie: moon and mars landings, (fact: even masons know they cannot leave)
lie: news channels share truth (fact: these are for politic propaganda)
lie: money has a value of its own (fact: it is just a tool of this world, which value has been agreed upon world wide)
lie: NASA lies (globe and all....) (fact: NASA stands for to deceive) - you havn´t searched - have you?
lie: the lgbtq++++ propaganda (fact: it is a part of masonry depopulation agenda, 500 000 000 souls, thats their goal.)
lie: Evolution and the dinosaurs. (fact: mankind is not hybrid kind)
to keep stating that there was an evolution, then we ain´t humans, we aint then mankind, we are then hybrids.
Lie: holidays (xmas, halloween, new year eve and so on) (fact: PAGAN HOLIDAYS, to praise BAAL, the god of this world)
lie: U.F.Os (fact: they are demons/evil spirits in high places, against whom we fight daily = spiritual warfare)
lie: rules and laws rule the world (fact: signs and symbols of masonry do)

10 lies, should i go on?
