Maybe We're Already Gone
Daughtry Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
White lies tearin' up a small town
Lost cause, someone's gotta break through
Coin toss, give away your next move
So much talkin', left with walkin'
Is this really what we wanted?
I don't think we'll ever know
Know you're sayin' hell we're payin'
Faster than you'll ever know
Can you see the signs?
Have we lost our minds?
Looks like we've fallen
Feels like we've fallen
Down and down we go
Never felt so low
Can't hear you callin'
So maybe we're already gone
Maybe we're already gone!
Caught up, temporary meltdown
So what, it doesn't matter right now
Right now, anyhow (what goes around comes around)
After somethin', all or nothin'
Goes right by ya, sends no motion
Why we let it take control?
Know you're sayin' hell we're payin'
Everything we want is fading
And all is lost and heaven knows
Can you see the signs?
Have we lost our minds?
Looks like we've fallen
Feels like we've fallen
Down and down we go
Never felt so low
Can't hear you callin'
So maybe we're already gone
Maybe we're already gone!
We'll make it through
Yeah, there's nothing else that we can do
Can you see the signs?
Have we lost our minds?
Looks like we've fallen
Feels like we've fallen
Down and down we go
Never felt so low
Can't hear you callin'
So maybe we're already gone
Can you see the signs?
Have we lost our minds?
Looks like we've fallen
Maybe we're already
Down and down we go
Never felt so low
Can't hear you callin'
So maybe we're already gone
The lyrics of Daughtry's song "Maybe We're Already Gone" depict a bleak outlook on the state of a relationship. The opening lines suggest that the relationship may have been a letdown and that lies have torn apart a small town. The singer suggests that they are a lost cause and that someone needs to break through the issues that have been plaguing the relationship. He confesses that there has been a lot of talking but they are still left with walking - implying that they have not been able to work through their problems despite their efforts.
The chorus poses a rhetorical question - "Can you see the signs? Have we lost our minds?" These questions imply that they may have missed warning signs that have led them to the point of feeling lost and hopeless. The lyrics suggest that they have fallen so low that they are unable to hear each other or reach out for help, leading to the possibility that the relationship may already be over.
The second verse reinforces this bleak outlook, suggesting that they are caught up in a temporary meltdown and that there is nothing they can do about it. The phrase "what goes around comes around" implies a sense of inevitability and that their problems may be the result of past mistakes catching up with them. The song ends with a sense of acceptance - they will make it through, but they may have already lost the relationship.
Overall, the lyrics of "Maybe We're Already Gone" suggest a sense of defeat, hopelessness, and missed opportunities to fix a relationship that may be beyond repair.
