The Offspring - Gone Away
1997
"Gone Away" is a song by American rockband the Offspring. Written by the band's singer, Dexter Holland, it was released as the second single from the band's fourth studio album, Ixnay on the Hombre (1997). "Gone Away" was the most successful single off of Ixnay on the Hombre, making it to #1 on the Billboard Mainstream Rock Tracks and #4 on the Modern Rock Tracks.
This song has helped many Offspring fans cope with loss. Holland told Kerrang!: "I get some letters from people saying how much 'Gone Away' - which is about losing someone - means to them, from parents who have written to me to say that it helped them get over the loss of their son who died from leukemia. It rips your heart out."
Holland started doing this song during the Offspring's gigs solo on the piano. "A rock show can feel like bam bam bam, and we wanted to take a minute in the middle of the set to let everyone breathe. Sit down for a minute, stop screaming." Holland noticed his acoustic rendition was connecting live. As he was also getting numerous supportive messages on social media, he decided to record a piano and strings version for their 2021 album Let The Bad Times Roll. "It makes it feel different in a way I think is cool. It was weird recording it; I'm so used to weird, loud, messy guitars that cover up all your imperfections, and it felt pretty vulnerable, quite frankly."
"Gone Away" received a total of 76,3% yes votes!

I knew it the second I read the title which reminded me of 1984. Is this true?? *dies*

O_O alrighty, then:
Limb by limb and tooth by tooth
In the next World War
La Tierra gira, hoy, menos veloz
You call me up and treat me like a dog
Your body is so sweet now, baby.
What the hell.

Hey, here are the first lines of five songs from my shuffled playlist xD
Falling, we are falling down
I've been burning, yes, I've been burning
Te vi estás ahí, al otro lado de mi monitor
I been knowing you for long enough
Babooshka, babooshka

Fall
Yesterday I was inspired and wrote this although I'm not familiar with the style. It's another attempt at a poem. The third in the collection xD
*****
I have dwelled in dread within these walls so long,
My eyes heed no calls,
Silence engulfs, my ears in its grasp.
On hands and knees I crawl,
Yet the prison gate won't open up for me,
With shattered wings I fall.
Sometimes these walls turn heaven's embrace
And I forget I am screaming in this space.
Show me what it’s like to be the one standing,
Teach me right from wrong,
And I will leave this life behind.
Tell me if I am worth saving,
For these walls are closing in,
And time is but a substance
Unknown to me.
We are flying,
Past high clouds
Like birds in the sky,
Home again,
The storm in my mind
Could not hold me back
With you by my side.
Sometimes dreamers wake up,
Yet don't wake me up
For I am no longer dreaming,
Don't wake me up,
I am not sleeping,
But forever sailing
In the dark, far away,
Across the sea,
With stormy waters,
To be free.

There must be many men doing the same to take advantage of all this madness, like the man who changed his gender on his ID to retire earlier.

This is what I say all the time when I see people arguing, "Well that wasn't real Blah Blah"
It doesn't matter, you want to make me your property, your slave, so I don't give a fuck what your ism is.
