Gone Play On
Russian Red Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

This never ending song is scratching,
Scratching my brain
Like a vinyl in desire
This never ending thought is coming and is gone
It's traveling on a plane on my way.

And in a highway too, as if I speak for you and I say
That you did those things I did in the past, it's true
And in a highway too, in a truck I do
Keep your stuff in my pocket,
Just like I did with the days we flew.

This never ending thought is coming and is gone
It's traveling on a plane on my way
This never ending song is coming and is gone
It's traveling on a plane on my way.

Gone, play on
Gone, play on




Oh gone, play on
Gone, play on...

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Russian Red's song, Gone Play On, suggest that the character is grappling with a never-ending thought that keeps coming in and going out of her mind. This thought is like a song that is stuck in her head, scratching her brain like a vinyl record. The idea seems to be troubling her and preventing her from moving on. The metaphor of the "never-ending song" could be interpreted as a symbol of nostalgia for the past, particularly for a lost love, as she reflects on the things that she and her former partner did together.


The lyrics mention a highway, suggesting that the character is on a journey. She imagines that she is speaking for her partner, as they think the same thoughts and have shared experiences. But at the same time, she carries a heavy burden of longing for the past, as evidenced by the line, "Keep your stuff in my pocket, just like I did with the days we flew." In this way, the song is melancholic and bittersweet, as the character struggles to move forward and let go of the past.

This never ending song is scratching, scratching my brain
like a vinyl in desire
this never ending thought is coming and is gone
it's traveling on a plane on my way.

And in a highway too, as if I speak for you and I say
that you did those things I did in the past, it's true in a truck I do
keep your stuff in my pocket,
just like I did with the days we flew.

This never ending song is coming and is gone
it's traveling on a plane on my way.

Gone, play on…

Esta canción sin final está arañando, arañando mi cerebro
Como un vinilo lujurioso
Este pensamiento sin final viene y se va
Viaja en un avión hacia mí

Y en una autopista, también, mientras hablo por ti y digo
Que tú hiciste esas cosas que yo hice en el pasado, es cierto
Y en un camión, sí que guardo tus cosas en el bolsillo,
Igual que en los días en que volamos

Esta canción sin final viene y se va
Viaja en un avión hacia mí (x2)

Ausente, sigue jugando*...
(*marchado, ido, pero el juego sigue)

@wernerholt75

Jedna z wielu przepięknych piosenek tej niesamowitej Hiszpanki, kryjącej się pod rosyjskim pseudonimem i tak pięknie śpiewającej po angielsku. Cudowny wyrazisty głos i niepowtarzalny klimat. Cudo :)

@OxoLiz

I can't stop listening to this song since yesterday. The music, her voice, the lyrics everything in this song is amazing. The only problem is that It's too short :)

@guadis02

Amo esta canción, es mi favorita de Russian Red

@katiasmallest

nunca había oído a esta chica, realmente su música es buena!

@IgnacioZgzSpain

Me jode que sólo consigan éxito internacional las cantantes que se despelotan y hacen un 80% ruido y un 20% música, por eso me alegra que esta chica se esté abriendo un hueco, y más si es española

@jassadiacenturionconstanti2118

Amo tanto tanto a LOURDES <3 . <3 su musica y ella son pura perfeccion

@misaandcoart
