since u've been gone
Rainbow Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I get the same old dreams same time every night
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
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

Line by Line Meaning

I get the same old dreams same time every night
Every night I have the same recurring dreams at the same time


Fall to the ground and I wake up
I fall in my dream and it wakes me up


So I get out of bed, put on my shoes and in my head
I get out of bed and put on my shoes while thinking about the breakup


Thoughts fly back to the breakup
I can't stop thinking about the breakup


These four walls are closing in
I feel trapped and suffocated by my surroundings


Look at the fix you put me in
You caused me to be in this terrible situation


I'm out of my head can't take it
I'm going crazy and can't handle it


Could I be wrong
Am I mistaken?


But since you've been gone
Ever since you left


You cast your spell so break it
You have a hold on me and I need to break free


So in the night I stand beneath the backstreet light
At night I stand under a streetlight


I read the words that you sent to me
I'm reading the message you sent me


I can take the afternoon, the nighttime comes around too soon
I can make it through the day, but the night comes too quickly


You can't know what you mean to me
You don't understand how much you mean to me


Your poison letter, your telegram
Your hurtful letter and message


Just goes to show you don't give a damn
This proves that you don't care at all


If you will come back, baby you know you'll never do wrong
If you come back, you won't make any mistakes


Ever since you've been gone
Since you left

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.
