Gone
Thirteen Senses Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I know I'll get to this place when I feel the time is right
Sometimes I think that I know what I'm all about
But when I look inside I can see the truth come out
Sometimes I try to go on
I know it's wrong
'cause when I see your eyes
Sometimes I climb to the top to see what's above
But when I find it there, there's no time for happiness
Sometimes I count up to ten just to see when
When will I see the sun, in my eyes I've just begun
The lyrics of Thirteen Senses's song "Gone" suggest a sense of self-exploration and uncertainty. The first two lines indicate the singer's hurry to reach the end, which can be interpreted as the end of a phase of life or a particular situation. However, they know that they will reach that point only when the time is right. This line could suggest the singer's frustration with the slow pace of progress or a desire to move on quickly.
The lines that follow suggest ambiguity and confusion about the singer's identity. Although they believe they know themselves, they admit that the truth reveals itself when they introspect into their thoughts and emotions. They may be trying to understand themselves better, which could be a reason for their rush to get to the end of a particular phase in life.
The chorus portrays the singer's desire to continue a relationship, despite the signs indicating that the flame has died out. The singer tries to ignore the issue and continue because they do not want to end the relationship. However, the lines "I know it's wrong 'cause when I see your eyes, I can see the flame is gone, gone, gone" signify that the singer is aware that something is wrong and that they may be holding on to an already-dead relationship.
Overall, "Gone" portrays a sense of restlessness and confusion for the singer. They are trying to find themselves and move on in life, but they are afraid to let go of certain things, leading to a state of ambiguity.
