When I'm Gone Lyrics

I look around me,But all I seem to see,Is people going no where,Expecting sympathy.It's like we're going through the motions,Of a scripted destiny.Tell me where's our inspiration,If life wont wait,I guess it's up to me.[Chorus:]Woah!No, we're not...

i think this song talks about how people spend too much time trying to be perfect. to be what society expects, but that he is tired of pretending just so everyone will accept him, so he decides to be himself. he doesnt care what ppl think anymore.he is done with society, he is a rebel

For me, it's kind of like the song that interconnects with the song Your Love is a Lie. The guy finds out that the girl is cheating on him. He realizes that he didn't do anything wrong and deserves someone better and finally gets over their breakup. Suddenly the girl comes crawling back to him but then it was too late because he dosen't want her anymore.
