I'm Gone
Ray Garrison Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm always looking for the beauty in life
But I can't seem to get away from my vices now
We always seem to fall in love in the night
Staying up because the music is loud oh oh
I see the sun in your eyes they shine
It's a love story every time we get high
LSD and lucid dreams feels like the only time that you know me
I'm suffocating I can't breathe
I can't breathe no
So If you love me let me leave let me leave I'm gone
Girl can't you see you're killing me you're killing me right now
So if you love me let me leave let me leave I'm gone

I stay at home but I always be gone
I think I'm fine I swear nothing is wrong
I might just teach you a thing in my songs
I give you my word you know my word is bond
It's the truth I could never tell a lie into a real one
You would know a lying ass bitch when you see one
I could see a broke mother fucker from a mile
I could spend a thou' and I'ma leave with a smile

You turned your back and now I'm running I'm running but I will never get away
You pushed me down but got me higher than ever now
Yeah I wonder if you ever felt alone
Yeah I feel it I do it all on my own




Now the money keep coming but I don't even want it
Anything you could do baby you know I've done it

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Ray Garrison's song "I'm Gone" describe the turmoil of love and addiction. From the outset, the song encapsulates the singer's constant search for the beauty in life, but his persistent vices make it difficult to experience it fully. He finds comfort in falling in love in the night, staying up and enjoying loud music with his partner. However, he acknowledges that the only time he feels truly connected to his love interest is during moments of psychedelic drug use. Despite the temporary high, the singer recognizes that he is suffocating and needs to leave this toxic relationship.


The second verse delves deeper into the singer's issues, claiming that he is always gone, even when he is physically present. He feels fine and claims to teach his partner through his music, but the truth is that he is a liar and materialistic, willing to spend money to mask his emptiness. However, he recognizes that he can never escape his love interest, even if he tries to run away; they have caused him pain, but also given him the highest highs.


Overall, the song appears to examine the paradoxical relationship between love and addiction, arguing that although they bring moments of ecstasy, they can also cause deep and lasting pain. The singer recognizes that he needs to leave this toxic relationship, even though he is not sure whether anyone else can understand his torment.
