Long Gone
UNKLE Feat. Tessa Angus Ysée & Philip Sheppard Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And without meaning you start a fight
You don't believe you ever wanted
Hard to hear start again,
All you need is time and then..
You don't believe it though you want to.
You can always change your mind
And other things that we were told too
Just raise back up again
Forgive your long gone friends
Keep on moving
Raise back up again
Though your heart is caving in
Keep on moving
All good people go in time
All the cowboys fall in line
All the leading men are gone too..
Who will come to save our day?
Who'll remember what to say,
When all the fairy tails were wrong too?
Raise back up again
Forgive your long gone friends
Keep on moving
Keep on moving
Raise back up again
Though your heart is caving in
Keep on moving
The song "Long Gone" by UNKLE feat. Tessa Angus Ysée & Philip Sheppard is a motivational song that speaks about resilience and perseverance in the wake of difficult times. The lyrics describe a scenario where everything seems to be going wrong, and the temptation to give up sets in. However, the song encourages the listener not to let go of hope and to keep pushing forward. The lines "All you need is time and then... You don't believe it though you want to" echo the message that things might be tough right now, but hope is never lost.
The song contains a couple of references to the idea of "moving on" and learning from one's past mistakes. Lines like "You don't need to show your right, You can always change your mind" suggest a willingness to be open to new ideas and perspectives. Additionally, the mention of "forgive your long-gone friends" reminds us that life is too short to hold grudges or dwell on the past. In essence, "Long Gone" is an ode to resilience, self-reflection, and emotional growth.
