Gone
Dream Koala Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Love you when you go
I only
Want you when you go
I only
Love you when you go
I only
I only
Love you when you go
I only
Want you when you go
The lyrics of Dream Koala's song "Gone" convey a sense of longing and attachment to a person that is leaving. The repetition of "I only love you when you go, I only want you when you go" showcases a paradoxical sentiment, where the singer only realizes their emotions and feelings once they lose the person they love. The use of the word "only" emphasizes how the singer feels like their emotional connection with this person is scarce or limited, and that they only appreciate what they had once it's gone. The usage of the words "love" and "want" indicate a deep desire and passion for this person, but only after they have left.
The song's theme of loss is amplified by the dreamlike soundscape and the melancholic voice of the singer. The slow and dragging sound creates an evocative atmosphere that intensifies the singer's emotion as they sing about missing the person they love. The lyrics can be interpreted in many ways, but a general theme is the fear of loss 'after the fact'. It suggests that the singer may have taken the person's presence and love for granted, and only realized its value after they were gone.

Reminds me of my time in Paris - at a friends penthouse apt. Party,
I had to get some air, so went to the balcony, this was playing out there - a smoke with a view and a tune - near perfect
