Outside Reading for 6/11

So I was sitting trying to figure out what I was going to do my outside reading on. I remembered a song that really got my attention. It's called "Already Gone" by Crossfade. You know when you get that tingly feeling when you really like something? I got that feeling with this song. I believe it portrays how so many people leave things behind. Whether it be a friend, family, loved one, or their own souls. It's a sad song but it brings forth all there is to know about how many people deal with losses and grief and how anger can overwhelm ones feelings and make them close off the world around them. In the lyrics Crossfade makes the point: "What could you possibly want from me Can't you see I'm already gone Everything we thought we'd be I still don't feel sorry for this loss" meaning that because someone left something/someone, they cannot understand why they are wanted back after being rejected before. Basically just trying to say it's not your fault that they left you and you can't blame yourself for it. He also kind of makes a sarcastic point as in he will be better off without her, he is going to show her he can make it without her, but deep down he still needs/wants to be with her. It's almost like the perfect song for a really hard break up. I would have loved to hear this song in high school when it seems like this is where you go through most of your heartbreaks.

  1. Annie, I'm not familiar with this song, or Crossfade. Are they heavy? What's the scoop?

    I love thinking about song lyrics. I bet you'll like our poetry unit. And, yes, high school is definitely a time of heartbreaks.
