Another Mind Gone
Joe Cocker Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Feel
The truth
Come Shining through
Soon There'll be
There'll be no place to turn to
In the light
Of the day
So far away
From anything
anything that we've been used to

Just another mind gone
Just another mad song
From a self neglector
I'm telling you
It's just another night crow
Another mind blow
And then rejected
Another mind gone

Hard
To say
The right way
It should be ours
Ours just for the taking
In the dawns
They're lying
Give us strenght of mind
Yet leaves us on
While other hearts are breaking

It's just another lifewire
Just another hell fire
Needed understanding
Hear me now
It's just another headcase
Another lost face
Being so demanding
Another mind gone

It seems so hard
To keep my sanity
Just stay in touch
With reality
I apologise
I don't want a ride
I don't want to be
Another mind gone

It's just another mind gone
Just another mad dog
Feeling selfneglected
Telling you
It's just another headcase
Another lost face
Being so demanding
Another mind gone
Yeah
Another mind gone
Another mind gone
Another mind gone
Another mind gone
Just another mad song I know
Another mind gone
Another mind gone
Another mind gone
Another mind gone
It's just another headcase




Just another lost face
And there's a mind gone

Overall Meaning

The song "Another Mind Gone" by Joe Cocker is an insightful and emotional exploration of the struggles and challenges of maintaining one's sanity and connection with reality in a world full of chaos, pain, and confusion. The lyrics speak to the universal human experience of feeling lost, isolated, and disconnected from the world around us, and the sense of hopelessness and desperation that can arise in such moments of despair.


The song begins with a powerful sense of urgency and desperation, as the singer expresses his fear that there will soon be "no place to turn to" and that he is far away from anything he has been used to. The reference to "Just another mind gone" emphasizes the sense of isolation and disconnection that the singer is feeling, and the "mad song" he refers to speaks to the chaos and confusion that surrounds him. As the song progresses, the singer expresses a desire for clarity and understanding, but finds himself struggling to maintain his sanity in the face of a world that seems increasingly unfathomable and confusing.


The chorus of "Another Mind Gone" serves as a powerful reminder of the fragility of our minds and our connections to reality, and the importance of staying grounded and connected in the face of life's challenges. The repeated refrain of "Just another headcase, another lost face, being so demanding, another mind gone" highlights the sense of helplessness and desperation that can arise when we feel disconnected from the world around us, and the song ultimately serves as a powerful reminder of the importance of staying connected to our own sense of truth and reality, even in the face of overwhelming challenges and adversity.
