Long Gone
Chris Cornell Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Baby
I used to watch your flowers grow
Now it's raining and all your petals turns to stone
I've been praying
I turn around and see my rose
But you faded
You left me now it's time to go

That's why I'm long gone, long gone
You need to let me fly alone
That's why I'm long gone, long gone
Maybe it's too late our time is gone
That's why I'm long gone
You need to let me fly alone
That's why I'm long gone, long gone
Maybe it's too late our time is gone

Baby, I think you've got your timing wrong
Hating, exploring this while we're riding on
And it's crazy to think that I could be reborn
If you saved me now it's too late and you'll never know
You're like a diamond and I'm like glass
Like oil and water we always clash
Sometimes my confessions are hard for me
I'll tell you now I'm setting you free

That's why I'm long gone, long gone
You need to let me fly alone
That's why I'm long gone, long gone
Maybe it's too late our time is gone
That's why I'm long gone
You need to let me fly alone
That's why I'm long gone, long gone
Maybe it's too late our time is gone

With broken wings
I can't fly
I'm gonna need you to save me, angel of mine
With broken wings (With broken wings)
I can't fly (I can't fly)
I'm gonna need you to save me, angel of mine
With broken wings (With broken wings)
I can't fly (I can't fly)
I'm gonna need you to save me, angel of mine
With broken wings (With broken wings)
I can't fly (I can't fly)
I'm gonna need you to save me, angel of mine

That's why I'm long gone, long gone
You need to let me fly alone
That's why I'm long gone, long gone
Maybe it's too late our time is gone
That's why I'm long gone
You need to let me fly alone (I can't fly)
That's why I'm long gone, long gone (I can't fly)
You need to let me fly alone

With broken wings, I can't fly

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to "Long Gone" by Chris Cornell explore the feelings of a person who has been left behind by someone they loved. The song seems to be addressed to a former lover who has moved on and left the singer behind. In the opening verse, the singer describes his former lover as a beautiful flower that he used to watch grow, but now their petals have turned to stone. He has been praying for his lover to come back to him, but she has faded away, and it's time for him to move on.

In the second verse, the singer tells his former lover that she has got her timing wrong. He says that it's crazy to think that he could be reborn if she came back to him, and that now it's too late for her to save him. He compares their relationship to oil and water, saying that they always clash. The singer then confesses that his feelings for his former lover are hard for him, but that he needs to set her free.

In the final verse, the singer acknowledges that he is broken and that he needs his former lover to save him. He calls her his "angel" and says that with broken wings, he can't fly. However, he also acknowledges that he needs to fly alone, and that it's time for him to be "long gone."

Line by Line Meaning

Baby, I used to watch your flowers grow
I used to see you grow and develop into the person you are today

Now it's raining and all your petals turns to stone
Now things are tough and difficult for us, and we feel weighed down

I've been praying
I've been hoping and wishing for a better outcome

I turn around and see my rose
I'm reminded of what you used to be to me, a beautiful flower

But you faded
You're no longer that person anymore, you've changed

You left me now it's time to go
Our relationship is over and it's time for me to move on

That's why I'm long gone, long gone
I've already left and gone away

You need to let me fly alone
I need to be on my own to grow and flourish

Maybe it's too late our time is gone
Perhaps it's too late for us to fix what's broken and move forward together

Baby, I think you've got your timing wrong
You're not seeing things clearly, and we're not on the same page

Hating, exploring this while we're riding on
We're trying to force something that just isn't working, despite our efforts

And it's crazy to think that I could be reborn
I know I need to change and grow, but it's hard to do without your support

If you saved me now it's too late and you'll never know
Even if you could help me now, it wouldn't change what's already happened and how I feel

You're like a diamond and I'm like glass
You're strong and shining, while I'm fragile and easily broken

Like oil and water we always clash
Our differences are so great that we can never work together in harmony

Sometimes my confessions are hard for me
It's difficult for me to be honest and open about my feelings

I'll tell you now I'm setting you free
I'm letting go of our relationship and giving you the space to move on

With broken wings
I am lost and in need of help

I can't fly
I am unable to soar and grow on my own

I'm gonna need you to save me, angel of mine
I'm hoping that you can be the one to rescue me and make things right

That's why I'm long gone, long gone
I've already left and gone away

You need to let me fly alone (I can't fly)
I need to be on my own to grow and flourish, but I can't do it without your help

That's why I'm long gone, long gone (I can't fly)
I've already left and gone away, and I'm still stuck in my own problems

You need to let me fly alone
I need to go on this journey on my own, without your help or interference

@SHORTY ROC oh ok, Cool man - So you were a Generation X teenager too…the 80’s music we got to enjoy was exactly what we’re both talking about….
The music styles were all over the place. It was created by all varieties of people , all ages and from all around the world … and it connected to everybody.
That’s what made it so good !

I listened to everything…. Metallica, Van Halen, LL Cool J, NWA, Sting, INXS, etc, etc…. and I still do.
And yeah, rap, rock, metal…. Doesn’t matter. If you can get your expressions out and connect with people, that’s what it’s all about. There’s no “color” to it.
Like you said, it’s about the human experience and emotions we feel in life.

Good luck to you man !

That's right you will see him Somewhere over the rainbow
Way up high
And the dreams that you dream of
Once in a lullaby
Somewhere over the rainbow
Bluebirds fly
And the dreams that you dream of
Dreams really do come true
Someday, I wish upon a star
Wake up where the clouds are far behind me
Where trouble melts like lemon drops
High above the chimney top
That's where you'll find me
Somewhere over the rainbow
Bluebirds fly
And the dreams that you dare to
Oh why, oh why can't I?
Well, I see trees of green and red roses too
I'll watch them bloom for me and you
And I think to myself
What a wonderful world
Well, I see skies of blue and I see clouds of white
And the brightness of day
I like the dark
And I think to myself what a wonderful world
The colors of the rainbow so pretty in the sky
And also on the faces of people passing by
I see friends shaking hands saying
How do you do?
They're really saying I, I love you
I hear babies cry and I watch them grow
They'll learn much more then we'll know
And I think to myself what a wonderful world
World
Someday I wish upon a star
Wake up where the clouds are far behind me
Where trouble melts like lemon drops
High above the chimney top
That's where you'll find me
Oh, somewhere over the rainbow
Way up high
And the dreams that you dare to
Why oh, why can't I?

Gotta let u know I'm a black man, I loved this dude, my brother could sing his ass off, awesome !!!!!! I hate he is gone, he had so much talent, great voice, been listening to him for bout 3 years or better, didn't know he passed, and hurts, I listen to him everyday on the job, just getting to know him, we lost somebody special

@Alan-in-Bama

Man, that's what is so cool about good music...it can cut right through all the differences and BS in life (some differences that may be real & some we create in our own minds), but those differences disappear when a great song connects with you....it'll make you realize we're all the same inside & we all want the same types of things in life.
Music like Chris Cornell gave us, brings ALL kinds of people together that can relate to the feelings or emotions in a song....Happy, Sad, Love, Betrayal, Anger, Hopelessness, etc.
As a guitarist in a band a few years ago, I've seen it from the stage many times...on the faces of people from all walks of life. There's No better feeling !

- And just so you'll know, I'm a 50 y/o White man ...born & raised here in Birmingham, Alabama.
I hope you keep on listening to Chris Cornell's music...his solo stuff and his music with Audioslave and Soundgarden is all fantastic !

@shortyroc6798

@Kitty Hawk Great to hear from u, I'm also 50, plus an artist, I rap, or poetry depends on how people listen to it. I grew up listening to all types of music, not knowing what color the person was, it was music, and I loved it, music has no color, I thank my God for keeping where I'm at now, because the only race that matters to me, is the human race, so when I perform, I write music to get us closer, as one

@billy67868 Jim was incredibly handsome. I used to think that Jim Morrison was the best looking man in the world, until I laid eyes on Chris Cornell. As I watched Chris age over the decades I had to admit that Jim Morrison was actually losing his looks before he even turned 27 whereas, Chris just continued to keep lookin HOT 🔥 literally right up until they reported that he "passed away." Chris had a sweet nature about him too. I just think Chris Cornell is the most beautiful man in every way possible. He is and will always be a Legend.

Met and worked with a few rock "stars". The few times I met this man was always amazing. He was a true "star" who was humble and was a true human who treated people with respect. The way he treated me the times we met was truly special. He always seemed to want to know how life has been since the last time we talked. The last time I met him, he saw me backstage right before he took the stage and gave me a warm smile and said hello. Acknowledging me with so much about to happen. He wad a good man. I still hate that he is not here. RIP Chris.

@RudeeOlivier

Chris was awsome in all those bands and in solo. Both bands were 2 of my favourites bands of alltime. They had great names (and it's rare) with significant and simple meaning (thanks to Chris) and amazing songs that sounded like no one else. I would love your input on the first video of my first album. It got the attention of one of my heroes Joe Bouchard (ex bass player founding members of BÖC) who is following us on Soundcloud but returns from people who likes same music is always the best. If you have just 3 minutes to listen and a bit more to comment, that would mean the world to me. Keep rockin' : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YJqmsXd8QH4&t

Your music touched me so deeply. Unfortunately I wasn't aware of its depth until you left us. Underrated lyricist and composer. Voice of a generation. So sincere. And that voice... ugh it hurts... R.I. P. 😇

His death broke my heart and it still hurts to this day. 💔 He is among another great talent with an amazing voice that left this earth too soon. I'll never get over his loss. I can't describe the feeling of knowing that we'll never hear his music, his voice again. Miss you Chris! 🙏 🕊

Oh I how regret not listening to all of this man's songs sooner. Fantastic voice, songwriter, sounded like a wonderful person too. I did like a couple of his tunes growing up but I didn't listen to enough to become a fan. I'm appreciate him writing and performing his music, he's left a wonderful legacy. Shame he felt he had to do what he did, but as a mental health sufferer I have empathy for people like Chris Cornell. RIP Chris Cornell and thank you.

I can’t listen to this song without being carried away through the depths of my own heart. Sometimes I feel joy, other times I just cry. I always love reading the comments on his songs because he is truly adored by his fans, and he continues to gain new ones. I think all the words I would want to write have been written by others. He is a very sensitive soul and I do believe he has an extraordinary amount of empathy. I can’t imagine what it is like for his family to lose him, and the pain in their hearts, it must be so heavy. I know I sat in my truck and cried the day he passed away. And I know what he does to my own heart. I do believe that we will see him again, he is in a very deep part of our hearts. Chris, we love you so much. You bring our hearts to life.

@scottcalhoun1650

Daniel Gilbert from what I've read Chris did not write this song...
A friend of his did that died from cancer who wrote it as a poem to his daughter/for his daughter who had cancer and passed away...
Chris turned the poem into this song,and he did do a great job with it...
Turned it into a Masterpiece of a song...

Seen Chris in Louisville Kentucky in 2007. 2 rows from stage. It was something watching him perform. That voice the range this wonderful man had. What a gift we were all able to enjoy and still do. ❤ Was scheduled to see him in Orlando at Hard Rock, I believe the Nov before he passed I cant remember the year nor do I want to remember the year to heartbreaking. It a 45 minute drive for me then just outside of Orlando it was announced the concert was canceled. I swear it felt like my heart was torn in 2 😢. I read once that no other musician can reach so many octaves. Yes I have CDs showing my age. I'm trying to get all every last song. My playlist can only hold so much due to age of phone. Albums are coming back every album of his needs to become available. Sales might surprise some me not at all. As long as I have the money I'll buy and play as loud as I want. First part of May will be absolutely terrible. I'm not sorry this is so long miss the man the musician the voice ❤❤❤
