Gone
Mr. Gone and the Invisibles Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Turn around there's no one there
Is your mind just getting older
Are you whispering a prayer
When you feel you're someone else
In the crowd all by yourself
Love, choice and destiny knocked on your door
You were gone
Are you lonely tonight Mr. Gone?
Twist your heart up over nothing
Your will is working double time
Intuition has misled you
She's polite, but so unkind
When you feel you're someone else
In the crowd all by yourself
Love, choice and destiny knocked on your door
You were gone
Sold your world to keep it free
Are you lonely tonight Mr. Gone?
Where's you love
Where's your life
Get your head out of the sand
Free your mind
Free your soul
An open heart will understand
Everything is cool
Mr. Gone
We need love
Mr. Gone
We gotta make a change
Mr. Gone
Love, choice and destiny knocked on your door
You were gone
Sold your world to keep it free
Are you lonely tonight Mr. Gone?
Lose your personality
When all of your rights turn to wrong
Blinded by the things you see
Are you lonely tonight Mr. Gone?
The lyrics of the song 'Gone' by Mr. Gone and the Invisibles seem to be about feeling lost and disconnected from oneself and the world. The first verse speaks about feeling like someone else in a crowd, which may represent a feeling of alienation and disorientation. The tap on the shoulder with no one there may symbolize a kind of spiritual awakening or a desire for change.
In the second verse, the lyrics talk about twisting one's heart up over nothing and feeling misled by intuition. This could be interpreted as feeling overwhelmed by emotions and perhaps not knowing which path to take. The refrain repeats the question "Are you lonely tonight Mr. Gone?" which drives home the sense of isolation and confusion that the song seems to be exploring.
The bridge of the song is a call to action, urging the listener to get their head out of the sand and free their mind and soul. It speaks to a need for change and understanding, and suggests that love and openness are the keys to this transformation.
Overall, the song seems to be about the struggle to find oneself and connect with others in a confusing and overwhelming world. It speaks to universal human experiences of isolation and disorientation, while also offering hope for transformation and connection.
