Now You're Gone
Floetry & Sebastian Rogers Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Touch me their coldness
And thoughts I can't repeat
Shock me with their boldness
Why did my mind and body believe,
That you would never leave them
Now there's parts of me that blame,
Or well they force me to deceive them
Who would steal you?
I still feel you
Now you're gone
These are lies
They're not real
This is more than I can feel
This is wrong, this is wrong, this is wrong
A bath so hot it almost scolds
And I let the warm surround me
I slide down
Till only my face shows
But I feel colder now
Than before you found me
When u used to pin me down
The clarity in your intent
But if you mind was somewhere else
I cant better anything you can invent
I thought you understood how much you meant
Who would steal you?
I still feel you
Now you're gone
And these are lies
It's not real
This is more than I can feel
It's all wrong
Now you're gone
I work hard to carry on
If you could've seen
How I've been
Then you'd know how much you meant
Who would steal you
I feel you
Now you're gone
Now you're gone
Now you're gone
Gone, gone, gone
Don't you know how much you meant?
Who would steal you?
I still feel you
Now you're gone
These are lies
They're not real
This is more than I can feel
This is wrong
This is wrong
This is wrong
This is wrong
The song "Now You're Gone" by Floetry and Sebastian Rogers, is a heart-wrenching ballad about the pain of losing a loved one. The lyrics depict the struggle of dealing with the aftermath of a breakup or separation, and the conflicting emotions that come with it. The first verse talks about the feeling of coldness and emptiness that comes after someone leaves. The imagery of laundered linen sheets being cold to the touch signifies the feeling of loss and abandonment. The lyrics also mention "thoughts I can't repeat," presumably referring to memories of the past that are now too painful to revisit. The singer feels a sense of betrayal and confusion, wondering why they believed that their partner would never leave them. The lines "now there's parts of me that blame, or well they force me to deceive them" implies that the feelings of hurt and anger are mixed with guilt and self-blame.
The chorus is a plea for the lost love to come back. The repetition of "who would steal you, I still feel you, now you're gone" shows the desperation of wanting to hold on to something that is no longer there. The lines "these are lies, they're not real, this is more than I can feel" express the feeling of disbelief, as if the reality of the situation is too overwhelming to accept. The repeated phrase "this is wrong" represents the singer's inability to come to terms with what has happened.
The second verse uses a metaphor of a hot bath to describe the feeling of comfort that the lost love used to bring, and the pain of not having that comfort anymore. The lyrics also mention the clarity in the lost love's intent, but the uncertainty of their mind creates confusion for the singer. The lines "I thought you understood how much you meant" show the disappointment and hurt of feeling undervalued and unappreciated.
Overall, the song "Now You're Gone" paints a vivid picture of the emotional turmoil that comes with losing someone close. It showcases the conflicting feelings of anger, sadness, confusion, and longing, and the struggle to come to terms with what has happened.
