NOFX - She's Gone Lyrics






A blackened wick is what remains
The flame was blown out just recently
Although the candle hadn't burned down to the stick
It won't be lit again, the day won't be quite as bright
We don't know what she may have been
All we know is what she left behind
An apartment cluttered with children's toys,
Photos of good times
In the bedroom, there's sheets on the windows
There's a four poster bed for a reason
On the floor there's a box full of secrets
It won't be opened
Here older boys and girls would play
All inhibitions were left behind
As the door would close, her face began to shine
This was her finest hour, this was her finest time
Now, she's gone, and it's not gonna be alright, not for me
She's gone, but not forgotten, she's still here
In all those years she touched so many lives
Who's gonna watch the little girl she left behind?
Carol Anne stands alone in the school yard
All the other children have gone
After waiting for hours,
She can't understand why her mother left her sad
In the darkness she sees definition
In the silence, she hears someone calling
After nightmares, she lies in bed screaming
But there's no reaction
There's no one listening, there's no one
Now, she's gone, and it's not gonna be alright, not for me,
She's gone

    Hits hard

    This song makes me think of a friend of my ex girlfriend who chose meth and a rambler lifestyle over a family. Her kids got taken away, and she was somewhat upset of course, but not upset enough to quit meth, quit the runaround lifestyle, and get a job and be an adult. I got rid of my loser girlfriend a long time ago, and I never knew what happened to her friend, and I imagine she never saw her kids again. All for meth and to have some loser guy provide a bed for her to sleep in. Every time I hear this song, I think of this transient girl named Shana, and the family life she threw away just to smoke meth, and to hook up with guys so she didn't have to pay bills. Yep- She's Gone.

    Song brings a tear to my eye....

  9. p.... ....

    What does this song reference? Is there a story behind it. It's a great piece, but a bit mysterious.

    p.... ....

    Sounds like a suicide

    p.... ....

    @BadIdeas101 Or overdose

    p.... ....

    @Neto Cavalcanti one or the other, chopped down early. No one will know for sure

    p.... ....

    It’s about the kid (carol ann) and how her mom neglects her

    p.... ....

    It seems like the story of a dominatrix or prostitute who died in the act and left her little girl behind.

  10. T.... ....

    This is such a beautiful, sad song, it's always given me chills. After my wife passed away two months ago, the lyrics seem even more powerful: "Gone but not forgotten, she's still here... and it's not gonna be alright, not for me, she's gone."

    S.... t....

    condolences from me as well

    S.... t....

    I'm so sorry, man

    S.... t....

    You hang in there Matt Francis.

    S.... t....

    Sorry to hear man.

    S.... t....

    Sorry about your loss dude. It's weird if you'd have posted this anywhere else on the net outside of a punk community, someone, somewhere would have said something negative. You ever need a vent, throw a message. Hang in there brother!

  13. 9.... ....

    Gone but not forgotten, she's still here

    9.... ....

    forever

  14. M.... K....

    Shes gone reminds me of Mom and the life she passed down to me.
    But also most of the relationships burdened unto mans desire to be loved by their significant other as equal, however...

    M.... K....

    Sorry friend...

    M.... K....

    My condolances

  15. J.... M....

    Fuckin sick! takes me back.
