Another Man
Bluesbreakers Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Another man done gone.
Another man done gone, another man done gone, another man done gone.
On the country farm.
He's on the country farm, on the country farm, he's on the country farm.
Another man done gone.
I don't know his name.
Didn't know his name, I didn't know his name, I didn't know his name.
The lyrics of Bluesbreakers' song "Another Man" are haunting and sorrowful, speaking to the experience of losing someone to an unknown fate. The chorus repeats the phrase "Another man done gone" multiple times, emphasizing the cruel and seemingly endless cycle of loss that the singer is experiencing. The verses provide a bit more context, describing the missing man as being located on a country farm, but lacking a name or any other identifying details. The repetition of phrases throughout the song creates a sense of desperation and despair, as if the singer is trying to hold onto something that keeps slipping away.
Overall, the song feels like an elegy for the nameless and forgotten, those who have been lost to the world without anyone to mourn them. It's a powerful reminder of how easily people can fall through the cracks of society, and the tragic consequences of those who are left behind to wonder what happened to them.
