Gone With The Wind
Side Walk Slam Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Trying to keep from turning blue
Because it's hurting bad
It doesn't matter if you know
Just look at me it's bound to show
Ii'm left with nothing to say
All these tears and all these years
Well past mistakes and old heartaches,
And dirty paths that i've retraced
I'm starting on a new road
There's no looking back, no looking back
What's done is done and in the past,
I've learned my lesson that nothing lasts
I bid to you farewell
I'm looking forward to better days
Blue skies, grass, and warm sun rays
I hope that you do as well
The song "Gone With The Wind" by Side Walk Slam has a melancholic and reflective tone, and reflects on the singer's feelings of heartbreak and hurt after a failed relationship. The opening lyrics describe the singer's struggles to cope with the pain of the breakup, with the line "sitting here thinking of you / trying to keep from turning blue" indicating both his sorrow and his attempts to hide it. The singer laments his emotional state, as shown in the line "all these tears and all these years / have left me standing here all by myself." However, the singer seems to be making an effort to move on, saying "I'm starting on a new road / there's no looking back, no looking back," and showing optimism for the future by hoping for "blue skies, grass, and warm sun rays."
The song touches upon themes of acceptance, recovery, and growth, as the singer acknowledges the mistakes and heartaches of the past, and aims to learn from them and move forward. The title "Gone With The Wind" may be a reference to the famous film of the same name, which itself deals with themes of loss and change. Overall, the song is a poignant and introspective reflection on a painful experience, but ends on a hopeful note of moving forward and embracing new beginnings.

Well i'm sitting here thinking of you
Even though you're not here, I can't stop thinking about you
Trying to keep from turning blue
I'm trying not to let the pain of being without you consume me
Because it's hurting bad
The pain that I feel from your absence is overwhelming
It doesn't matter if you know
Even if you knew how I felt, it wouldn't make the pain any less
Just look at me it's bound to show
My feelings are written all over my face, and anyone can see my pain
I'm left with nothing to say
I'm speechless, and I don't know what to say or do
All these tears and all these years
Years of pain and tears have brought me to where I am now
Have left me standing here all by myself
All of this pain has left me alone and isolated
Well past mistakes and old heartaches
Errors from the past and emotional pain from other experiences
And dirty paths that i've retraced
Returning to old ways that only bring me more pain
I'm starting on a new road
I'm beginning a new, fresh chapter in my life
There's no looking back, no looking back
I'm moving on, and I refuse to allow myself to look back
What's done is done and in the past
I can't change the past, and I accept that
I've learned my lesson that nothing lasts
One important lesson that my experiences have taught me is that everything is temporary
I bid to you farewell
I say goodbye to you, maybe forever
I'm looking forward to better days
I'm hoping for a better future, full of happiness and joy
Blue skies, grass, and warm sun rays
I picture a peaceful environment that brings me joy and contentment
I hope that you do as well
I hope you too find happiness and contentment in your future
