Chris Impellitteri formed Impellitteri in 1987 together with Rob Rock as vocalist. That year, they released an EP called the black album. The selftitled EP was well-received, and Impellitteri regrouped, this time with Graham Bonnet as lead singer, and release the full-length album Stand In Line in 1988.
After some touring and label deals, Impellitteri returned (again with Rob Rock on vocals) with Grin and Bear It in 1992. The following year, they released another EP titled Victim of the System. In 1994, they released Answer To The Master.
In 1996, Impellitteri released Screaming Symphony, which has become one of the most acclaimed albums of the band. In 1997 they released yet another EP titled Fuel For The Fire, in preparation for their next full-length album. The next year, they released another of their most acclaimed works: Eye of the Hurricane. They followed it in 2000 with Crunch.
Shortly after, Rock decided to pursue a solo career so Impellitteri recruited Graham Bonnet again, and started working on his next album. In 2002, they finally released System X. That year, they also released a compilation of hits called The Very Best of Impellitteri.
The union with Bonnet would be short-lived as they parted ways some time after, and Impellitteri recruited Curtis Skelton, finally releasing Pedal To The Metal in 2004, one of their most aggressive albums to date.
Chris Impellitteri is currently working with an LA band (as a member, not leader) and has announced that they will release a new album soon.
Chris Impellitteri has been ranked together with Deicide drummer Steve Asheim and bassist Adrian Davison as perhaps the fastest musicians on their respective instruments.
The band is currently on hiatus as Chris recently joined a Los Angeles band, and is working with them on a new album.
Since You've Been Gone
Impellitteri Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Same time every night
Fall to the ground then I wake up
So I get out of bed
Put on my shoes and in my head
Thoughts slide back to the break up
These four walls are closing in
*Since you've been gone
Since you've been gone
I'm out of my head
Can't take it
Do not be wrong
But since you've been gone
You cast a spell so break it
Since you've been gone
So in the night I stay
Beneath the back street lights
I read the words that you sent to me
I can take the afternoon
But night comes around too soon
You don't know what you mean to me
Your poison letters
Your telegram
Just goes to show you don't give a damn
(Repeat *)
Since you've been gone
If you ever come back
Baby you know, you'll never do wrong
(Repeat *)
Ever since you've been gone
**Since you've been gone
Since you've been gone
I'm out of my head
I can't take it
(Repeat ** to fade)

I get the same old dreams
Every night I have the same disturbing dreams.
Same time every night
These recurring dreams happen at the exact same time every night.
Fall to the ground then I wake up
In my dreams, I fall to the ground and then I wake up suddenly.
So I get out of bed
To escape these dreams, I get out of bed.
Put on my shoes and in my head
I put on shoes while my mind is still panicked from the dreams.
Thoughts slide back to the break up
Despite my efforts to distract myself, my thoughts always go back to the painful break up.
These four walls are closing in
Being stuck in this situation is making me feel trapped and suffocated.
Look at the fix you put me in
You've caused me so much emotional damage that I am unable to move past it, and it's affecting my daily life.
Since you've been gone
Ever since you left me,
I'm out of my head
I'm going crazy,
Can't take it
I can't handle the pain.
Do not be wrong
I'm not trying to be unreasonable,
But since you've been gone
But your absence has had a profound impact on me.
You cast a spell so break it
Your hold on me is so strong that it feels like you've put a curse on me, and I need to break free from it.
So in the night I stay
At night, I find myself unable to sleep,
Beneath the back street lights
I wander the dark streets, illuminated solely by the lights of the city.
I read the words that you sent to me
I still have the letters and messages that you left me, and I keep rereading them.
I can take the afternoon
During the day, I can keep myself occupied.
But night comes around too soon
But the day is too short, and night comes too soon.
You don't know what you mean to me
You have no idea how much I cared for you.
Your poison letters
Your letters are toxic to me, and they make my pain worse.
Your telegram
Even your messages sent from afar remind me of your absence.
Just goes to show you don't give a damn
Your lack of concern and empathy for my feelings is evident, and it hurts me deeply.
If you ever come back
In the unlikely event that you return to me,
Baby you know, you'll never do wrong
You better know that you can't hurt me like this again.
Ever since you've been gone
Since you left me,
I'm out of my head
I'm losing my mind,
I can't take it
The pain is unbearable.

가사는 연인이
자신을 떠나서
마법에 걸린 듯
아무것도 못 하고...
과거 연인이 자신에게
쓴 편지를 보며
괴롭게 하루 하루를
산다는 내용인데...
노래는
밝고 상쾌하고
경쾌하다;;
참... 나쁘고
이상하다.
연인이 자신을 떠났다고
마법에 걸린 듯
아무 것도 못 하고
과거에 연인이
자신에게 보낸
편지만 보며 지내다니.
저런 것은
나쁘다.
저러면 안된다.
가사가 누구의
사연인지 몰라도
음악가는 같이
음악 작업하는
밴드 멤버들이
있고...
성공을 꿈꾸고...
좋은 음악을
만드는 것에
만족하며...
음악 활동하고
가사 만들고
작곡하거나
연주한 곡이랑
가사랑 음이랑 맞추는
작업하고...
악기 연주나
노래 부르고
바쁠텐데...
뭘 아무 것도
못 한다는 거지?
아무 것도 못 하는 거
아니잖아.
작사 작곡하고
다른 음악듣고
노래하고
연주하고
음반팔고
공연해서 돈 벌고 있으면서...
거짓말...
거짓말 쟁이...
나쁘고 바보 같은 가사다.
그냥 이별을 받아들이고...
또 다른
새로운 여자를
만날 준비를
하는 것이 좋을텐데...
예쁜 여자를 또 만날 거 같은데...
그 여자 뿐 일 거 같아도
어느순간 또 만나더라...
저때는 구시대이라서
좋은 것이 없었나보군...
스마트 폰도 없고
인터넷도 없었으니
나쁜 시대였을 거 같다.
저 가사가 말이 안되는 게...
미국은 영화를 보면
한국 보다
이혼 쉽게 하는 것으로 안다.
그래서 저 가사가
말이 안된다;;
음악가...
같이 음악가가 되도록
쉽게 받아주지도 않고...
악기 잘 다뤄야지
받아주고...
돈이 있어야
음악 배울 수 있다.
음악이 좋아서
다른 생활은 소홀해지고
부지런하고
집요하게 해야
음악가가
될 수 있는 것...
쉽지 않다...
우정으로 돈 안받고
음악 가르쳐주지 않는다.
다 돈을 받으려고 한다.
내가 미국인들에게
한국에서는
영화 어퓨 굿맨에서
나오는
코드 레드가 어디서든
쉽다고 알려주고 싶다. ㅎㅎ
약간 농담이고
약간 거짓말이다.
거친 세상이고
바쁘고 힘들고
거친 일자리가 많아서...
저런 생각하고 싶지 않다.
남을 위해
일 안해도
돈이 많고
나를 위해서 살며
놀면 좋을텐데...
미국 영화에서는
코드 레드 같은
일 일어나면
군대에서
계급 높은 사람도
처벌 받게 하는...
그런 것이 놀라웠다.
한국에서 태어났으면
부자가 아니라면...
강제로
군대 가기 싫어.
억지로 공부하면서
공부 성적 나빠서
구타 당하며
학교 생활하기
싫어라는
가사의 곡을 만들었을 거다.
나는 연애에 성공하지
못 했고...
결혼도 못 했다.
저 노래 가사는 나쁜데
음은 좋다.
사람은 다르고 다양하다.
떠난 연인과 몇 년 뒤
다시 만나서
연애하는 경우도 있으니...
무엇을 어떻게 했길래
연인이 떠났을까?
그런 것 좀 가사에 적어놓지...
노래 가사 속 사연의
인물이 잘 못한 거 아닌데
연인 떠난 거면...
떠난 연인을 욕 해야지...
잊고 안적을 번 했군...
한국은 젊은
여자랑 일 하기 드물다.
말 짧게해서
남자는 남자랑만 모여서
바쁘고 거칠게 일 할 정도다.
여자 마주쳐도
미국 영화 같이 하이 하고
해 맑게 인사하는 사람도
드물다.
그런 사람은 유부녀다;;

Graham Bonnet! The guy is fucking LEGEND! Easily the best version of this song ever recorded. Chris is insane and the power of Graham's vocals just sends this song through the ROOF!
