Here And Gone
Isle of Q Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
So you take what you can
Everything's got a fee
She looks better than before
All alone here tonight
Two of us on the floor
She never likes to stay
She always flies away
Somewhere
Who cares
She's free
She's got a mind and a will of her own
She'll never hang around too long
One minute here the next she's gone
She's good calling on the phone
Never says very much
But her voice sets the tone
Next thing, knocking at my door
Let her in once again
Two of us on the floor
But then she'll fly away
She never likes to stay
She always flies away
Somewhere
Who cares
She's free
She's got a mind and a will of her own
SHe'll never hang around too long
One minute here the next she's gone
She's free
There ain't a man gonna keep her home
You can't claim her for your own
One minute here the next she's gone
She gets the best of me
She climbs in my sould and drugs me
She gets the best of me
She is in control
She's free
She's got a mind and a will of her own
She'll never hang around too long
One minute here the next she's gone
She's free
There ain't a man gonna keep her home
You can't claim her for you own
One minute here the next she's gone
Here and gone
Here and gone
Here and gone
The song "Here and Gone" by Isle of Q explores the idea of impermanence and the fleeting nature of relationships. The lyrics suggest that the singer is involved with someone who is elusive and non-committal, always coming and going as she pleases. The repeated line "she's free" emphasizes this sense of liberation and independence, as she refuses to be tied down by anyone or anything.
Throughout the song, the singer experiences a range of emotions as he navigates this relationship. He is drawn to her beauty and allure, but also feels frustrated and powerless as she continually leaves him behind. The lines "she gets the best of me, she climbs in my soul and drugs me" and "she is in control" suggest that he is deeply affected by her presence in his life, even though he knows that she will never stay for long.
Overall, "Here and Gone" is a poignant meditation on the transient nature of human connection. The song acknowledges the bittersweet reality that sometimes the people we care about the most are the ones who are the hardest to hold onto.
