I'm Gone
I.A. Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I just sit here and I stare at the sun
When the people sipping poison think it's holy water
What have we done
They say don't roll with the devil
But the devil couldn't roll with me
Well my hairs so disheveled
Cutting ties with them broken beliefs
I'm gone
Well I'm gone
Sorry I'm gone
I got my head spinning sideways
Got my eyes on the highway again
Take a look don't be frightened
By thunder and the fire within
They say I'm scared for you baby
Don't get hurt, don't be crazy you know
Well I can't take the restrictions
On my heart, mind, body, and soul
Well I'm gone
I'm gone
I'm gone
Sorry I'm gone
And I know
Somewhere deep in my
And I know
Can't bring you peace of mind
And I know
Somewhere deep in my... soul
Like a moth to a flame thinking damn what a shame but
I'm gone
I'm gone
I'm gone
I'm gone
I'm gone
Sorry I'm gone
And I know
Somewhere deep in my
And I know
Can't bring you peace of mind
And I know
Somewhere deep in my... soul
Like a moth to a flame thinking damn what a shame but
I'm gone

Line by Line Meaning
While the world spins in circles
As the world keeps on turning and nothing seems to change
I just sit here and I stare at the sun
I'm stagnant and unproductive while wasting my time
When the people sipping poison think it's holy water
People are blindly following harmful beliefs and practices
What have we done
What have we collectively accomplished and achieved?
They say don't roll with the devil
People advise against associating with harmful influences
But the devil couldn't roll with me
Even the most negative and destructive forces couldn't keep up with me
Well my hairs so disheveled
My appearance reflects my chaotic inner self
Cutting ties with them broken beliefs
I'm letting go of harmful and damaging ideologies
Well I'm gone
I'm leaving and moving forward
Sorry I'm gone
Apologizing for the inconvenience of my departure
I got my head spinning sideways
My thoughts and emotions are overwhelming me
Got my eyes on the highway again
I'm focused on moving forward on my life's journey
Take a look don't be frightened
Observe and don't be afraid of what's to come
By thunder and the fire within
The intense passion and energy that drives me
They say I'm scared for you baby
People are concerned for my safety
Don't get hurt, don't be crazy you know
Don't do anything reckless or dangerous
Well I can't take the restrictions
I am not willing to live within the limits that others have set for me
On my heart, mind, body, and soul
These restrictions encompass all aspects of my being
And I know somewhere deep in my
I'm aware that within the depths of my soul
Can't bring you peace of mind
I recognize that I cannot provide comfort to others
Like a moth to a flame thinking damn what a shame but
I'm like a helpless victim to my own fate, thinking about what a disappointment it all is
I'm gone
I'm leaving and moving on
