Since You Been Gone
Rainbow Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Fall to the ground and I wake up
So I get out of bed, put on my shoes and in my head
Thoughts fly back to the breakup
These four wall are closing in
Look at the fix you put me in
Since you been gone
I'm out of my head can't take it
Could I be wrong
But since you been gone
You cast your spell so break it
Oh oh, oh oh, oh oh
Since you been gone
So in the night I stand beneath the backstreet light
I read the words that you sent to me
I can take the afternoon,
the night time comes around too soon
You can't know what you mean to me
Your poison letter, your telegram
Just goes to show you don't give a damn
Since you been gone
Since you been gone
I'm out of my head can't take it
Could I be wrong
But since you been gone
You cast your spell so break it
Oh oh, oh oh, oh oh
Since you been gone
If you will come back
Baby, you know you'll never do wrong
Since you been gone
Since you been gone
I'm out of my head can't take it
Could I be wrong
But since you been gone
You cast your spell so break it
Oh oh, oh oh, oh oh, oh oh
Ever since you been gone
Since you been gone
Since you been gone
I'm out of my head can't take it
Since you been gone
Since you been gone
I'm out of my head can't take it
The lyrics of Rainbow’s “Since You Been Gone” speak of the aftermath of a breakup. The singer describes having the same dream every night which ultimately triggers painful memories of the end of the relationship. Although he tries to shake off the thoughts, he can’t help but be consumed by them as he feels trapped within four walls. The chorus highlights the gravity of the situation as the singer proclaims that since the love interest has left, he is “out of his head” and unable to handle the situation. He believes that his partner has a spell over him, which he needs to be broken.
The next verse portrays a melancholic image of the singer standing under a backstreet light, reading the letters that his love interest has sent him. He conveys that he cherishes every word sent his way and that he is hurting from the lack of care from his partner’s end. The song’s title is repeated several times, signifying the fixation of the singer's mind on the past love that is now gone.

@philliptivis3082
I'll say this for James Gunn: he introduces a large audience to some amazing tunes.
@meelsie143
Yeah I usually know the music from guardians but this one I’ve only heard once or twice in passing but I like it a lot so I’m glad to hear it featured 😊
@iceman10129
I'd argue that Gunn kind of changed the landscape for soundtracks in film and TV. Where its used more as a character than background noise. Look at Stranger Things and even recently with The Last of Us and Linda. Finding these iconic songs that got overlooked in their generation and using it as a driving force.
@noorayneladha470
And he fired iconic actors over in dc comics 😢
@AZ-Barnacle
It’s funny. I found this song originally from the guardians of the galaxy video game. Now it’s in the trailer for vol 3
@JR-es5cd
@@noorayneladha470 He didn’t fire anyone. They were never hired.
@KS-dd4oy
The fact that I need to scroll past Kelly clarkson to get to this song is really messing with me
