Gonna Die
Autre Ne Veut Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Go, send me in the world I died
I’m feeling more, I’ll give you now
What I had for a while

There and still and I threw you off
Lie to my face and I’m gonna get it for a while

And oh, I’m gonna die
And I’m feeling more, I’ll give you now
What I had for a while

And I’m gonna die
I’m feeling more, I’ll give you now
What I had for a while

Oh, something that I got
And I think that I gave you more than a whole

You say I’m bad news to you




This light on my face and I
I’ll be your grey for a while

Overall Meaning

Interpreting Autre Ne Veut's song "Gonna Die" can be quite challenging, as the lyrics are somewhat cryptic and open to interpretation. However, there seems to be a clear sense of melancholy and meditations on death and loss throughout the song.


The first verse, "Go, send me in the world I died / I’m feeling more, I’ll give you now / What I had for a while," perhaps speaks to the singer's realization that they are approaching the end of their time on earth. They are ready to leave and let go of what they have held onto for a while, ready to let others take over or move on without them.


The repeated refrain of "And oh, I’m gonna die / And I’m feeling more, I’ll give you now / What I had for a while" adds to this sense of inevitability and finality. The singer is acknowledging their own mortality and wants to give whatever they have left to those around them before they pass. It's a bittersweet and poignant sentiment.


In the second verse, "Oh, something that I got / And I think that I gave you more than a whole / You say I’m bad news to you / This light on my face and I / I’ll be your grey for a while," the singer seems to be reflecting on their own actions and how they've affected those around them. They gave something to someone that was more than they could have ever expected, but that person still sees them as "bad news". The line "This light on my face" could refer to the spotlight or attention that the singer is receiving, and they want to exist in a more subdued, "grey" state for a while.


Overall, "Gonna Die" is a melancholy but introspective song that touches on themes of mortality, loss, and the desire to give what we can before our time runs out.
