So Long
Lauren Duski Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
She Was My Life And She's Gone
She Was The Sunshine And I Was The Moon
I Was The Beast And She Was The Beauty
She Was... She Was
I Was... I Was
She Was My Life And She's Gone
She Was My Life And She's Gone
My Life Turned To Hell
May She Forget And Forgive Me
She Find Her New Love
And I Find My Furnace
She Promised To Be With Me
And I Was Blinded About Her Lies
She Was... She Was
I Was... I Was
She Was My Life And She's Gone
She Was My Life And She's Gone
In Lauren Duski's song "So Long," the lyrics express the painful aftermath of a failed relationship. The repetition of "she was my life and she's gone" emphasizes the sentiment that this person, their significant other, was everything to them, but now they have been left alone. The comparison between the two lovers, "she was the sunshine and I was the moon" and "I was the beast and she was the beauty," suggests a compliment to one another, but ultimately, it was not enough to sustain the relationship.
The lines "my life turned to hell" and "I find my furnace" explicitly reveal the emotional pain that the persona is going through. The former line conveys a sense of darkness and despair, while the latter implies being consumed by rage or resentment. The lyrics also reveal some dishonesty that contributed to the relationship's decline, as the person admits to being "blinded about her lies."
Overall, the song encapsulates the intense anguish of loss, the struggle to move on, and the painful realization of what could have been. It touches on themes of trust, betrayal, and acceptance.

Lauren, I have followed you since seeing you on The Voice. You were always my favorite. Not just because of your voice, but because of how you made me feel when you performed. Your music was, and is, felt - not just heard. You completely had me in tears at Deja Vu, as I recently went through a divorce. Thank you for putting out quality, heartfelt music. In a time when there is so much "noise" out there, this is really special and worth while.
This song is again a testament of your deep and meaningful contribution to music. Thank you for sharing this emotional piece of yourself with the world. We are truly grateful.
I wish you all the best, and I support you 100%!
With lots of love from South Africa ❤❤❤

Lauren Duski
Man, that hits Matt. Thank you. Nothing could be more special. All we can do is share it with friends <3

Ain't that the damn truth. From that point on I was watching the video and trying to read all the captions through water filled eyes.
I mean...if that doesn't get to you ..then just lay down because you are already dead and have no soul.

I had wondered what happened to you after the Voice was over, which I thought you should have won in 2017. You are one of the very best country female singers that I have heard in many years. Sorry about your grandma. God bless you all.

This is why I stopped watching these shows American Idol always seems to get it wrong. Many you don’t hear from after they won and or did their debut albums .
