Gone

TR/ST's song 'Gone' delves into the transient and often painful nature of love and loss. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a relationship that has deteriorated, leaving the narrator in a state of emotional turmoil. The opening lines, 'You spit out the rind / It's consumed me, I'm a disaster,' suggest a sense of being discarded and overwhelmed by the remnants of a once meaningful connection. The imagery of 'blistered scornful eyes' and 'motionless in the bedroom' further emphasizes the narrator's feelings of stagnation and despair.

The chorus, repeating 'Gone / It's gone, it's gone,' serves as a haunting reminder of the finality of the relationship's end. The repetition underscores the sense of loss and the difficulty in coming to terms with it. The verses reflect on moments of intimacy and the narrator's realization of their own emotional unavailability, as seen in lines like 'I watched you cherish me while / I never had the time.' This acknowledgment of missed opportunities and unspoken needs adds depth to the song's exploration of love's fleeting nature.

As the song progresses, the narrator grapples with the aftermath of the breakup. The lines 'I'm wearing all the signs / I'm wary all the time' indicate a lingering sense of caution and vulnerability. The recurring theme of the sun rising symbolizes the passage of time and the cyclical nature of falling in and out of love. The closing lines, 'Crawling / I'm ashamed I showed / Calling / Is my caution gone?' reveal a struggle with vulnerability and the fear of being hurt again. TR/ST's 'Gone' captures the complex emotions of love, loss, and the enduring impact of past relationships, making it a poignant reflection on the human experience.
