Gone Too Fast
Cord Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But you won't ever, ever be the one that you've become
The one that stands all your wishes
If every now and then is all ok, then why do I still feel this way
Inside when I can only see the side of my dark secrets
Revealing to mass appeal
Cause I never knew which way to go
I was 16 and one my own
I believed everything I read
And I never heard from you again
Well I guess we were only friends
It was fun while we made it last
Cause these 6 years has gone too fast
Second place has never felt that good
Cause I can't stand to be withstood from all the lies
When all the lies are what the truth is bringing
Look at all the people messed up now
Cause they are praying way to loud
For what they never could believe, when they believed in nothing
Could I conceal to say
that I still care?
Cause I never knew which way to go
I was 16 and one my own
I believed everything I read
And I never heard from you again
Well I guess we were only friends
It was fun while we made it last
Cause these 6 years has gone too fast
The lyrics of Cord's song 'Gone Too Fast' are reflective of the singer's personal journey and realization. The opening lines suggest that burning oneself down will give one great big dreams, but it won't necessarily make one the person they have become. The one that has become self-sufficient with their wishes and stands on their own two feet. The next lines reflect on the singer's current state of mind where they question why they still feel a certain way. They are aware of their dark secrets, but they also know that revealing them may lead to mass appeal.
The chorus is where the singer reflects on their past self. They say they never knew which way to go, which suggests that they were uncertain of their path. At the age of sixteen and being on their own, they believed everything they read, which could be an indication of their naivety. The last line hints that they lost contact with someone they once considered a friend. The second verse talks about how second place has made them feel good. Perhaps it was the acceptance they craved. The next line talks about people praying too loud for something they never believed in when they believed in nothing. This could be a commentary on hypocrisy. The last line of the song is reflective of how quickly time has passed, hence the title 'Gone Too Fast.'
