Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Gimme, gimme love
Gimme, gimme love
Gimme, gimme love when I'm gone
When I'm gone
Gimme, gimme love
Gimme, gimme love
Gimme, gimme love
When I'm gone
Swinging out front, let me inside
Playing my song into my sides
It hurts, I can't lie, remember those times
I fought to get out? I want to get out
Those pictures so clear, they fade in my mind
You leavin' me here with ashes and fire
These people don't heal, these people don't feel
These people aren't real so make me this deal
Won't you gimme, gimme love
Gimme, gimme love
Gimme, gimme love
Gimme, gimme love when I'm gone
When I'm gone
Gimme, gimme love
Gimme, gimme love
Gimme, gimme love
Gimme, gimme love when I'm gone
When I'm gone
Look into your heart and let me know
Do things turn black and grey as they go?
When I'm far too gone, can you show me love?
Give me love
(Ooh)
(Ooh)
(Ooh)
(Ooh)
Caught in a river of records and dreams
Oh, will you keep up with me?
Everyone's looking for someone to hold
But I can't let you go
(Ooh)
(Ooh)
(Ooh)
(Ooh)

This is the most uniquely edited AMV I've ever laid my eyes upon and I wish others that others too, would be able to see the amount of thought that went into this video. You managed to encapsulate and convey the magic of this song through cowboy bebop somehow intensifying the emotion that the song first gave me, especially the final parts of the AMV where as spike was slowly losing strength, It was as if you put us in his with his entire life flashing before his eyes. thank you for making this AMV!
