lets ride 799 Posted July 19, 2019 I try real hard, but I'm caught up by my insecurities Pour me one more, watch the ice melt in my fist ~ Why do we keep when the water runs? Why do we love if we're so mistaken? Why do we leave when the chase is done? Don't search me in here, I'm already gone, baby Why do we keep when the water runs? Why do we love? they're basically listing examples of destructive relationship dynamics they/we've been in, and how they/we've become hardened and cynical about love...but we can't stop it from happening when we're feeling it once more 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Adrift 4,814 Posted July 19, 2019 I mean obviously you get the gist of it but there are whole sentences that sound like they were written in another language and then translated, for example search is always followed by "for" when you mean "look for", it was probably a french verb that didn't require that preposition and when it got translated something was lost well like, thats what happened lol - chris wrote the chorus and her verse. if we take "ne me cherche pas, je ne suis puis la" from the bridge as the actual original hook, which i'm inclined to do bc it rhymes and makes a lot more sense grammatically, "don't search me in here, i'm already gone" is actually more like "don't look for me, i'm not here" but they really DIRECTLY translated it. 0 Quote X----into me, into you----X Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
OverYourHead 6,279 Posted July 19, 2019 When she says “don’t search me in here” in the video Charli touches Chris’ chest as in her heart, so I kinda took it as don’t search my heart because I’m already gone 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

KillForLove 13,362 Posted July 19, 2019 Gone is a lot like True Romance in the sense that most of the song is just lyrics that have no meaning in the context of the lines around them. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Charlottexseax 8,032 Posted July 19, 2019 guys omg what if "why do we keep when the water runs" means "why do we keep still when things like the water are always moving and never look back"? like "when" means "while"/"as opposed" to rather then "in the moment in which"... 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PrettyBaby 2,220 Posted July 19, 2019 I think it's "when." So it's like, "Where do we wait it out while the waters rush" like after a dam breaks, or during a flood. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
