"Consider Me Gone", sebuah lagu yang dibawakan dengan apik oleh Sting, merupakan sebuah refleksi jujur tentang penyesalan, keputusasaan, dan pencarian makna dalam menghadapi kenyataan hidup yang kompleks. Liriknya melukiskan gambaran yang menyedihkan tentang sebuah hubungan yang telah hancur, di mana ruang pengampunan dan kepedulian telah dikosongkan. Penulis lagu bergumul dengan pertempuran internal, mempertanyakan pencarian kesempurnaan yang sia-sia dan mengakui kegagalan masa lalu yang menimpa mereka. Lagu ini, dengan melodi yang menghantui dan lirik yang kuat, menawarkan pandangan introspektif tentang kesulitan yang dihadapi jiwa manusia saat bergulat dengan kekecewaan dan rasa bersalah.
Consider Me Gone Lyrics
Sting
There were rooms of forgiveness
In the house that we share
But the space has been emptied
Of whatever was there
There were cupboards of patience
There were shelfloads of care
But whoever came calling
Found nobody there
After today, consider me gone
Roses have thorns, and shining waters mud
And cancer lurks deep in the sweetest bud
Clouds and eclipses stain the moon and the sun
And history reeks of the wrongs we have done
After today, consider me gone
I've spent too many years at war with myself
The doctor has told me it's no good for my health
To search for perfection is all very well
But to look for Heaven is to live here in Hell
After today, consider me gone
In the house that we share
But the space has been emptied
Of whatever was there
There were cupboards of patience
There were shelfloads of care
But whoever came calling
Found nobody there
After today, consider me gone
Roses have thorns, and shining waters mud
And cancer lurks deep in the sweetest bud
Clouds and eclipses stain the moon and the sun
And history reeks of the wrongs we have done
After today, consider me gone
I've spent too many years at war with myself
The doctor has told me it's no good for my health
To search for perfection is all very well
But to look for Heaven is to live here in Hell
After today, consider me gone
