When I'm Gone
MSG Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The urge is calling and I can't wait
I need you now, Oh!
Your body moves, we feel like one
You open your eyes and I feel so strong
I want you now, more than ever
You laugh when I cry
Don't go thinking I'll never leave
'Cause you won't be laughin'
You won't believe (You better believe)
When I'm gone baby, gone
Who's gonna hold you
From dark until dawn
And who will be there
That can love you like me
When I'm gone?
Your clothes are hanging on the floor
My room is full of the night before
And the promise you made to love me forever
Oh! You can't use me
Then just up and leave
You got it wrong
You better believe
If I walk out that door
It's forever
There's no turnin' back
When I'm gone baby, gone
Who will you turn to
When you need someone
Who will be there to love you
Do what I do
When I'm gone...
The lyrics of MSG's song "When I'm Gone" are talking about a relationship in which one partner is feeling used and unappreciated. It's early morning, and the singer is overcome with a physical urge to be with his partner, but realizes that this physical connection cannot sustain the relationship. The partner laughs when the singer cries, and the singer is beginning to see the reason why he is feeling used. However, the partner cannot take the singer's love for granted because there will come a time where the singer will have to leave, and the partner will not have somebody to love them the way that the singer does. The singer also warns his partner that if he leaves, it's forever and there's no coming back.
The lyrics of the song are set against a rock instrumental score, with McAuley Schenker Group's rock influences on full display. The song's soaring guitar solos and rock instrumentation evoke a feeling of urgency and passion that underscores the singer's emotional plea. The song is a quintessential rock ballad, telling a story of love, heartbreak, and perseverance that is meant to be sung at the top of one's lungs.
Line by Line Meaning
It's early morning, not quite awake
The sun has just risen and I'm still feeling a little groggy.
The urge is calling and I can't wait
My desires are too strong to ignore and I cannot hold back anymore.
I need you now, Oh!
I have an intense longing for you at this moment.
Your body moves, we feel like one
As we move together, it's as if we are two parts of the same whole.
You open your eyes and I feel so strong
Your eyes are like windows to your soul, and through them, I feel your emotional presence in a powerful way.
I want you now, more than ever
My desire for you has grown even stronger than before.
You laugh when I cry
You find joy in my pain and misery.
I'm beginning to see the reason why
I'm starting to understand that you have not been sincere with me and are not as committed to our relationship as I am.
Don't go thinking I'll never leave
Don't assume that I will always stick around no matter how you treat me.
'Cause you won't be laughin'
You will no longer find joy in seeing me hurt or upset.
You won't believe (You better believe)
You will be surprised and shocked when I leave, but it will be for good.
Your clothes are hanging on the floor
The evidence of our physical intimacy lies scattered around my room.
My room is full of the night before
The memories of our passionate night together are still fresh in my mind.
And the promise you made to love me forever
I remember your words of commitment and devotion, but now doubt their sincerity.
Oh! You can't use me
You won't be able to manipulate me or take advantage of my love again.
Then just up and leave
I will leave without any warning or hesitation.
You got it wrong
Your assumptions about me and our relationship were flawed and misguided.
You better believe
You should take what I am saying seriously and not dismiss it as a threat or empty promise.
If I walk out that door
If I decide to leave, it will be permanent and final.
It's forever
There will be no going back or second chances.
There's no turnin' back
The decision to leave will be irrevocable and irreversible.
When I'm gone baby, gone
When I leave, you will be left alone without me.
Who's gonna hold you
You will no longer have anyone to comfort you or provide emotional support.
From dark until dawn
You will be left to face your fears and uncertainties in the lonely hours of the night.
And who will be there
There will be no one to replace me or fill the void that I leave behind.
That can love you like me
No one else will be able to love you with the same intensity and passion as I did.
When I'm gone?
What will happen to you and our relationship when I am no longer part of your life?

This song introduced me to rock music and opened new horizons.
It also helped me to get over a very ugly breakup when I found out about my girl cheating on me multiple times. And like in the lyrics it luckily turned Out for the Better for me.
"You won't be laughing!"
As I write this, I just Heard the news that James Kottak, who played drums on this song, hast passed away.
R. I. P., James. I Will always remember you and the music you helped to create.

Dengarkan
Ini masih pagi, belum bangun
It's early morning, not quite awake
Desakan memanggil dan saya tidak sabar menunggu
The urge is calling and I can't wait
Aku membutuhkanmu sekarang, oh!
I need you now, oh!
Tubuhmu bergerak, kami merasa seperti satu
Your body moves, we feel like one
Buka matamu dan aku merasa sangat kuat
Open your eyes and I feel so strong
Aku menginginkanmu sekarang, lebih dari sebelumnya
I want you now, more than ever
Kau tertawa saat aku menangis
You laugh when I cry
Saya mulai melihat alasannya
I'm beginning to see the reason why
Jangan berpikir aku tidak akan pernah pergi
Don't go thinking I'll never leave
Karena kamu tidak akan tertawa
'Cause you won't be laughin'
Anda tidak akan percaya
You won't believe
Saat aku pergi sayang, pergi
When I'm gone baby, gone
Siapa yang akan menahanmu dari gelap sampai fajar
Who's gonna hold you from dark until dawn
Dan siapa yang akan ada yang bisa mencintaimu seperti aku
And who will be there that can love you like me
Ketika aku pergi?
When I'm gone?
Pakaianmu tergantung di lantai
Your clothes are hanging on the floor
Kamar saya penuh dengan malam sebelumnya
My room is full of the night before
Dan janji yang kau buat untuk mencintaiku selamanya
And the promise you made to love me forever
Oh!
Oh!
Anda tidak dapat menggunakan saya lalu bangun dan pergi
You can't use me then just up and leave
Anda salah, lebih baik Anda percaya
You got it wrong, you better believe
Jika saya keluar dari pintu itu selamanya
If I walk out that door it's forever
Tidak ada jalan kembali
There's no turnin' back
Saat aku pergi sayang, pergi
When I'm gone baby, gone
Siapa yang akan menahanmu dari gelap sampai fajar
Who's gonna hold you from dark until dawn
Dan siapa yang akan ada yang bisa mencintaimu seperti aku
And who will be there that can love you like me
Ketika aku pergi?
When I'm gone?
Saat aku pergi sayang, pergi
When I'm gone baby, gone
Kepada siapa Anda akan berpaling ketika Anda membutuhkan seseorang
Who will you turn to when you need someone
Siapa yang akan berada di sana untuk mencintaimu melakukan apa yang saya lakukan
Who will be there to love you do what I do
Ketika aku pergi
When I'm gone
Kau tertawa saat aku menangis
You laugh when I cry
Saya mulai melihat alasannya
I'm beginning to see the reason why
Jangan berpikir aku tidak akan pernah pergi
Don't go thinking I'll never leave
Karena kamu tidak akan tertawa
'Cause you won't be laughin'
Anda lebih baik percaya
You better believe
Saat aku pergi sayang, pergi
When I'm gone baby, gone
Siapa yang akan menahanmu dari gelap sampai fajar
Who's gonna hold you from dark until dawn
Dan siapa yang akan ada yang bisa mencintaimu seperti aku
And who will be there that can love you like me
Ketika aku pergi?
When I'm gone?
Saat aku pergi sayang, pergi
When I'm gone baby, gone
Kepada siapa Anda akan berpaling ketika Anda membutuhkan seseorang
Who will you turn to when you need someone
Siapa yang akan berada di sana untuk mencintaimu melakukan apa yang saya lakukan
Who will be there to love you do what I do
Ketika aku pergi
When I'm gone
Saat aku pergi sayang, pergi
When I'm gone baby, gone

This and "Anytime" literally saved my marriage in 1990. We both are big into music and especially the rock ballad love songs. These guys get my heart and his heart everytime! Wish we could have gotten more from them!
@JackMcLeodJr
I've heard many ballads in my time, but for me this one hits the gut every single time, does not fail to give the chills. Headphones always 🎧 to really get into it!
@BeMe91
From time to time I listen to 80s ballads. Headphones on and eyes closed. It's like meditation to cleanse my soul. 😂
@zs675
You want to talk about a very underrated, undervalued, unappreciated, and overlooked singer look no further than Robin McAuley. Love his voice.
