Going Going Gone
Paloalto Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I give myself some energy
I took it from the shelf
I'll make myself reanimate
And turn away
I can see the road I'm running on
It's dangerous from the start
Then my soul and my enemies were thrown away

What he doesn't know
I'm not going home
I'm not gonna stay this way again
What he doesn't know
I'm not going home for days

It took my soul from my canopy
I knew it from the start
With it myself and my energies were thrown away
I can see the road I started from
It's stable from the cause
Right then my start and my ending race were thrown away

What he doesn't know
I'm not going home
I'm not gonna stay this way again
What he doesn't know
I'm not going home
I'm not gonna stay this way again
What he doesn't know about this way

And all this time I'm pacing for it
Out of order
And all this time I'm pacing
Really doesn't matter if you fight me
Fight me

What he doesn't know
I'm not going home
I'm not gonna stay this way again
What he doesn't know
I'm not going home
I'm not gonna stay this way again
What he doesn't know about this way
What he can't be tamed this way again
What he doesn't know about this way
Baby baby baby baby

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Paloalto's song "Going Going Gone" reflect a sense of restless energy and a desire for change. The singer seems to be seeking a transformation, taking energy from within himself to "reanimate" his spirit and embark on a new path. However, the road ahead is also "dangerous" and fraught with enemies.

Despite this, the singer is determined to move forward and not return to his former way of life. He mentions that something took his "soul from [his] canopy," perhaps referring to a loss of innocence or naivete. He reflects on his journey and notes that his "start and [his] ending race were thrown away," perhaps indicating that he now sees his previous goals as misguided or meaningless.

Ultimately, the singer is focused on his own path and his own growth, even if it means leaving others behind. He repeats the line "What he doesn't know" several times, suggesting that there is a separation or divide between himself and someone else. The ending of the song features some ambiguous vocalizations, which could perhaps represent the singer's continued search for meaning and purpose.

I give myself some energy
I am trying to motivate myself

I took it from the shelf
I am looking for something to boost my energy

I'll make myself reanimate
I will revive my spirits

And turn away
I will look away from my current state

I can see the road I'm running on
I am aware of the path I am on

It's dangerous from the start
I know that this road is risky from the beginning

Then my soul and my enemies were thrown away
As I ran on this road, I left my soul and foes behind

What he doesn't know
He is not aware

I'm not going home
I won't give up

I'm not gonna stay this way again
I won't remain in this state again

I'm not going home for days
I won't quit for the next few days
