Which date? The Atlanta one??

I just saw there was no Florida date so our only choice is to re-enact the Gone video. I'll be the car.

Lmao I was like what is he talking about? Like I’m down to go to ATL all day but we would have to plan.

*spillett voice* what does One Mo’ Gen why do we keep when the water runs mean?

 

[suitechicguy]

It’s grown on me. I need to see the video.

 

[man.tis.shrimp]

I can't stop thinking about how "why do we keep when the water runs?" simultaneously means nothing and everything at the same time. It's such an incredible pop lyric because of it.

I know this will make people cackle, but it's very Girls Aloud to me in that way dddd

 

[iRelate]

I just love the middle 8 that comes before the frantic bop city breakdown. It feels like all pain and tension expressed in the song melts away in that moment the beat settles and Charli coos in the background, "Why do we keep when the wonder runs?"

I'm curious to know how everyone interprets it. To me it's like, why do we hold on to the negative thoughts and feelings that flow through us, instead of releasing them?

 

[Andy French]

Oh my god

I through the same when I heard it. The ass-kicking production and melodies outweighs the cryptic lyrics.

If the lyric is not an example of a GA/Xenomania toss away at meaning... they mention watching ice melt in their fist. Why do we stay when the water runs would make much more sense and is how I interpret it if I care.

For me:
Why do we keep lusting and loving someone even though the flame has died and it’s not working anymore.

 

[ManilaChinchilla]

It's basically asking yourself why do you stay in denial when the inevitable has already happened / is happening.

Me every morning as I play GONE.mp3 realizing if I could have just waited a year for my XCX rate I could have included both the iconic monthly drops AND her mythical third studio album

We can always have a re-do!

 

[bazayer]

Oh my god

I love her so much

 

[Shuey]

I'm excited for a "stripped" version of Gone.

 

[Karvel]

Gone is very good, the chorus reminds of me of True Romance and it's nice to hear that, and that outro is incredible!

Let's wait for another one hopefully and do another rate.

 

[Andy French]

I’d be down for a re-rate after this album is out (and hopefully y’all don’t make LIPGLOSS the winner again dddd)
