This Train Is Gone
Frankie Chavez Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I know she goes away
once in a while
i wonder why i didn't even try
she makes me
believe in things
even if i was
really part of them
i know

this train is gone
and i'm the only one
left alone
i breathe
as the trees
so i whist and talk
no matter whatch your call(?)
i live happy without you
once your gone
once with truth?
and i know
this train is gone
and i'm the only one
left alone
i know
this train is gone
and i'm the only one
left alone
(guitar)
i know
this train is gone
and i'm the only one left alone
i know
this train is gone
and i'm the only one
i'm the only one
i'm the only one

left alone
end.

Overall Meaning

In the song "This Train Is Gone" by Frankie Chavez, the lyrics seem to be about a relationship that's come to an end. The lyrics begin with the singer acknowledging that his partner leaves from time to time, and he wonders why he never tried harder to make it work. Despite this, she makes him believe in things that he's not necessarily a part of. This could be interpreted as her broadening his world view or exposing him to different lifestyles or beliefs.

The chorus, which repeats several times throughout the song, talks about the train being gone and the singer being left alone. This could be metaphorical for the relationship being over and him being left alone to deal with the aftermath. The following verse talks about how the singer lives happily without his partner when she's gone, but when she's with him, he's always truthful with her. This could indicate that the truthfulness caused tension or discomfort in the relationship, leading to its demise.

Overall, the lyrics paint a picture of a relationship that had its ups and downs, but ultimately had to end. The train metaphor is powerful in that it signifies movement and progression, but also finality when it's gone.

I know she goes away
I am aware that she leaves from time to time

once in a while
occasionally, not often

i wonder why i didn't even try
I question why I didn't make an attempt

she makes me
she causes me to

believe in things
have faith in ideas

even if i was
even when I am

really part of them
actually included in them

i know
I am aware

this train is gone
the opportunity has passed

and i'm the only one
and I am the sole individual

left alone
abandoned, without companionship
