Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
On two legs but my feet never touched the ground
I got my head in the soil, leave no prints to be found
The nature's strength, the wonder who I am (gone)
A weakening force, all echoes from my past
(Gone, gone, gone, gone, gone)
And the love that you felt (shala, shala, shala)
Will be here when you are gone (shala, shala)
And the songs that you sung (shala)
And the words that you meant (shala, shala, shala)
Will be here when you are gone (shala, shala)
Sh!
(Will be here when you are gone)
This mouth on me and this voice against time (gone)
Be brave and free or be wing clipped and grimed (gone)
This weakening noise will fade softly to silence (gone)
And the battle goes on (shala)
And the love that you felt (shala, shala, shala)
Will be here when you are gone (shala, shala)
And the songs that you sung (shala)
And the words that you meant (shala, shala, shala)
Will be here when you are gone (shala, shala)
And the battle goes on (shala)
And the love that you felt (shala, shala, shala)
Will be here when you are gone (shala, shala)
And the songs that you sung (shala)
And the hurt that you felt (shala, shala, shala)
Will be here when you are gone (shala, shala)
One final moment as I stay awake
As the air I breathe will make a change of space (gone)
They'll never know, they'll never feel the ache
The drips of salt you're tasting off my face
The nature's strength, the wonder who I am
(Shala, shala, shala, shala, shala, shala)
And the battle goes on (shala)
And the love that you felt (shala, shala, shala)
Will be here when you are gone (shala, shala)
And the songs that you sung (shala)
And the words that you meant (shala, shala, shala)
Will be here when you are gone (shala, shala)
And the battle goes on (shala)
And the love that you felt (shala, shala, shala)

Gone
The lyrics to ionnalee's song GONE convey a sense of loss, ephemeralness, and acceptance of the cyclical nature of life. The opening lines describe the singer's detachment from reality as she moves through life without leaving a mark or trace behind. She feels like a weakening force that comes and goes without being noticed, leaving only echoes of her past.
The chorus repeatedly asserts that even after we are gone, the emotions, memories, and experiences we leave behind will live on. The mention of the battle represents the struggle we all face in life, while love, songs, and words serve as reminders of our humanity and the connections we forge with others.
The final moment mentioned in the lyrics suggests an acceptance of death and the realization that we all inevitably disappear, but also that our presence lingers through the memories and impressions we leave on others. The salt on the singer's face symbolizes the tears of those who will mourn her loss and remember her after she's gone. The song portrays a beautiful and thought-provoking message that reminds us of the significance of our lives and the impressions we leave on the world.

Gone
@TheNehellenia
on two legs but my feet
never touched the ground
i got my head in the soil
leave no prints to be found
the nature’s strength
the wonder who i am
gone
a weakening force
all echoes from my past
gone
shala
and the battle goes on
and the love that you felt
will be here when you are gone
shala
and the songs that you sang
and the words that you meant
will be here when you are gone
sh!
this mouth on me
and this voice against time
be brave and free
or be wing clipped and grimed
this weakening noise
will fade softly to silence
one final moment as i stay awake
as the air i breathe will make a change of space
they’ll never know
they’ll never feel the ache
the drips of salt you’re tasting off my face
the nature’s strength
a wonder who i am
gone
official lyrics that came with the purchase
@keytarwars
My sister passed away two years ago. These lyrics really helped me through the rough times of grieving her passing.
@rubendelossantos3648
My grandmother also passed away three years ago, and this song helped me as well going through it. Much love to you!
@AndyZaturno
I think those roots that are moving in the room are the roots of forest claiming its mandragora back. We need iona back in the forest.
@jstandsforlove
implying this is not the last we hear from her i hope not
@lordkittenfat
I think it represents being confined and roped down by what is perceived to be Jonna's peak. She's being asked to "go back" when all those songs are already there.
@adamutt3316
You and the 43 folks really need to read lordkittenfat's comment over and over again... it's super clear in both audio and visuals...
