Now You're Gone
In-Dex Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You were beginning to recognize everyone around
You're not the only reason all that's wrong inside
I don't think it's easy for you barely holding tight
So I lost a friend today to a fleeting thought
When a wave of emptiness fell through you
Now I don't wanna feel anything
I don't wanna feel anything
I don't wanna feel anything
I don't wanna be anything
I don't wanna be anything
To the lifetime in between
I don't wanna feel anything
I don't wanna feel anything
Hey come on this meaningless life that you lead so long
It's a beautiful time to remind yourself oh
That nothing is against you
Nothing is against you
Brother you're surrounded
I wonder where the magic went in experience
Now you never know




You played a role for far too long
As if you were free (Now you are free)
