Gone Away Free Verse by Element M Lyrics
Alan Watts:
He's gone away [...] to find out who he really is, because it’s very difficult to find that out while you're with other people. The reason is that other people are busy all the time telling you who you are, in many, many ways: by the laws they impose on you, by the behaviour ruts they set on you, by the things they tell you, by the fact that they always call you by your name, and by the fact that when you live among people you have to be in a state of ceaseless chatter
But if you want to find out who you are [...] who you REALLY are, you almost have to go off by yourself
Element M:
Someday I wanna grab a suitcase
Clothes and shoes and soap and toothpaste
Run away and escape the two faced
Where no one even gives a fuck if you stay
I know everybody likes to say they do
And the ones who really seem to fake it too
And the ones who really mean remain a few
Even those wouldn't see all the shades in you
I’mma grab a bag and pack it and drag it to go
Runaway to a ship dock and put that in a boat
Take along a chick and chicken to eat as I go
Maybe sing a song to signal I'm leaving the shore
Don't know where i'm going but I'mma send you a note
Maybe send along a couple of pictures to show
Every tattoo, every platter and bottles and more
Just to let you know I'm better than ever before
Just to let you know I'm better than ever before
