The band released two more albums, Discouraged Ones (1998) and Tonight's Decision (1999), before settling into a stable quintet lineup for all of the 2000s. The band released four more albums with said lineup: Last Fair Deal Gone Down (2001), Viva Emptiness (2003), The Great Cold Distance (2006) and Night Is the New Day (2009), with the band slowly moving away from their metal sound while adding more progressive rock sounds to their work over time. While lineup changes started up again into the 2010s, Renkse and Nyström persisted, and the band continued on to release their ninth and tenth studio albums, Dead End Kings (2012) and The Fall of Hearts (2016). After touring in support of the album through 2017, the band entered a hiatus at the beginning of 2018. The band returned from their hiatus in February 2019, with their eleventh studio album, City Burials, released in April 2020 and twelfth studio album, Sky Void of Stars (2023).

Gone
Katatonia Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I have to prove you
That you're wrong
The lyrics to Katatonia's song "Gone" express a sense of isolation and the struggle to be understood by others. The first line, "And if you think you've seen me," suggests that the singer feels overlooked or misunderstood by those around him or her. The next line, "I have to prove you," implies a sense of defensiveness and a desire to prove oneself to others. The final line, "That you're wrong," indicates that the singer is determined to show others that their perception of him or her is inaccurate.
Overall, the lyrics to "Gone" suggest a sense of loneliness and a struggle to connect with others. The singer feels as though they are not being seen or heard, and must fight against others' perceptions in order to be understood. This theme of isolation and disconnection is common in many of Katatonia's songs, and reflects the band's overall melancholic and introspective style.

And if you think you've seen me
In case you believe you have encountered me before
I have to prove you
I must demonstrate to you
That you're wrong
That your belief is erroneous

No one imagine Jonas Renske painful memories and feelings; those which have inspired this masterpiece.
Yeah! No one could demand any additional second. It's perfect to let you realize how deep tragedies are pushing and moving life through. Light over darkness. . .
A gone child...
Brother...
Mother...
Father...
Daugther...
Son...
Friend more than family
Who knows
That gone love...
That woman, that soul...gone.
@dantemert
bir hissizlik başladı kafamda
ve gün yatalak olmuş,
gerçekten istediğim şeyler
kalbimden sökülmüş.
yolunu hiç görmedin
kalmanı nasıl istediğimin,
ve şimdi gittin
kendi başımayım.
düşünürken ben
kalıcı olduğunu bazı şeylerin,
hayal ediyordun zaten
çekip gitmeyi
@TeRrahiel
His voice on this album is a pure masterpiece... He sounds like he is fighting the tears, and this song is one of the best Katatonia's ever written
@MK-hp8zr
I also think it's one of the most depressing songs ever written
@Sariiittta
This is the most painful and sad song I have heard. But It's just beautiful. I can't describe with words what I feel listening to this song. I feel so identified with it... I feel breathless...
Sorry for my english. I'm spanish.
