Way Gone
SOiL Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Write a song that everyone understands
A heart unbroken hasn't lived, hasn't loved, hasn't come undone
Sometimes I need to feel I'm not alone
And sometimes I need to feel a heart is shown
All my rights, trumped by the wrongs
The self I lost all it takes again to make me one
I'm way gone
I'm way gone from the years I've wasted with you
I'm way gone
Now I'm the sin eater dream breaker that I found in you
There's a need to keep an eye on lie that grows
There's a need to sometimes let these feelings go
Your sweetest lies, the ugly promises
The devil's eyes, your crowned head
The right answer to the, the wrong question to the
The wrong question to the only real answer
I'm way gone
I'm way gone from the years I've wasted with you
I'm way gone
Now I'm the sin eater dream breaker that I found in you
I'm way gone
I'm way gone from the tears that fell over you
I'm way gone
Now I'm the sin eater dream breaker that I found in you
With you... I needed more
From you... I wanted more
In you... all I found were these empty words
With you... I needed more
From you... I wanted more
In you... all I found were these empty words
From you... I needed you, I needed you
Sometimes we just need to let it go
I'm way gone
I'm way gone from the years I've wasted with you
I'm way gone
Now I'm the sin eater dream breaker that I found in you
I'm way gone
I'm way gone from the tears that fell over you
I'm way gone
Now I'm the sin eater dream breaker that I found in you
The lyrics to SOiL's song Way Gone speak to the feeling of being emotionally and mentally depleted after a relationship that didn't play out in the way one hoped. The opening lines, "Sing a song that everybody knows, Write a song that everyone understands," express the desire to connect with others through shared experiences, while the next line, "A heart unbroken hasn't lived, hasn't loved, hasn't come undone," suggests that experiencing heartbreak is a necessary part of life. The chorus, "I'm way gone from the years I've wasted with you, Now I'm the sin eater dream breaker that I found in you," implies that the singer has moved on from the relationship and has come to terms with the fact that it wasn't healthy.
The middle verses of the song reveal a struggle to reconcile the hurt and disappointments of the past with the desire to move forward, suggesting the need to acknowledge past pain and then let it go. The lines "All my rights, trumped by the wrongs, The self I lost all it takes again to make me one" speak to the need to reclaim one's sense of self, and acknowledge that it is possible to move on from the pain and disappointment of the past.
The closing verses of the song underscore the idea of letting go, with the lines "From you... I needed you, I needed you, Sometimes we just need to let it go." Ultimately, Way Gone is a song about healing and growth, as the singer moves beyond the pain of a past relationship and finds strength in the knowledge that they have the power to move on and create a brighter future for themselves.

One of the best songs on Whole. It's a shame Povlitzski's closed down in Spring Lake Park MN. Loved seeing you guys there opening up for Powerman 5000 and you were actually the last act to play at Pov's before the suddenly shut down.
