"Goner" lyrics

"Goner"

I'm a goner, somebody catch my breath
I'm a goner, somebody catch my breath
I wanna be known by you
I wanna be known by you

I'm a goner, somebody catch my breath
I'm a goner, somebody catch my breath
I wanna be known by you
I wanna be known by you

Though I'm weak and beaten down
I'll slip away into this sound
The ghost of you is close to me
I'm inside-out, you're underneath

I've got two faces, blurry's the one I'm not
I've got two faces, blurry's the one I'm not
I need your help to take him out
I need your help to take him out

Though I'm weak and beaten down
I'll slip away into this sound
The ghost of you is close to me
I'm inside-out, you're underneath

Though I'm weak and beaten down
I'll slip away into this sound
The ghost of you is close to me
I'm inside-out, you're underneath

Don't let me be gone
Don't let me be gone
Don't let me be gone
Don't let me be gone

Don't let me be
Don't let me be

(Ah, yeah)

I'm a goner, somebody catch my breath
I'm a goner, somebody catch my breath
I wanna be known by you
I wanna be known by you

This song was in the works for quite a while: the band posted a version of it in 2012, but it had a simpler structure back then and used an accordion.
This track tells about how the protagonist tries to defeat his dark alter ego called "Blurryface". The narrator asks somebody for help, be it a man or God. Meanwhile he uses his music to escape Blurryface's hatred.
The original version of this song had a creaking background sound similar to one produced by a dead body swinging in a noose. The music video for that version was released by the band on YouTube on the 11th of February 2012.
