Want You Gone: Difference between revisions

<code>Well here we are again<br>

It's always such a pleasure<br>

Remember when you tried<br>

to kill me twice?<br><br>

Oh how we laughed and laughed<br>

Except I wasn't laughing<br>

Under the circumstances<br>

I've been shockingly nice<br><br>

You want your freedom?<br>

Take it<br>

That's what I'm counting on<br>

I used to want you dead<br>

but<br>

Now I only want you gone<br><br>

She was a lot like you<br>

(Maybe not quite as heavy)<br>

Now little Caroline is in here too<br><br>

One day they woke me up<br>

So I could live forever<br>

It's such a shame the same<br>

will never happen to you<br><br>

Now I only want you gone<br><br>

Oh, did you think I meant you?<br>

That would be funny<br>

if it weren't so sad<br><br>

Well you have been replaced<br>

I don't need anyone now<br>

When I delete you maybe<br>

I'll stop feeling so bad<br><br>

Go make some new disaster<br>

That's what I'm counting on<br>

You're someone else's problem<br>

Now I only want you gone<br>

Now I only want you gone</code>}}

* {{Spoiler|Well, here we are again - [[Portal 2]] being the sequel to [[Portal]].}}

* {{Spoiler|Remember when you tried to kill me twice? - The events of Portal.}}

* {{Spoiler|Now I only want you gone - [[GLaDOS]] deciding not to kill [[Chell]] and letting her go.}}

* {{Spoiler|Now little Caroline is in here too - [[Caroline]] is the personality GLaDOS was based on.}}

* {{Spoiler|Goodbye my only friend - GLaDOS deleting Caroline's personality from her memory.}}

* {{Spoiler|Well you have been replaced // I don't need anyone now // When I delete you maybe // I'll stop feeling so bad - Chell being replaced by [[Atlas]] and [[P-Body]] as GLaDOS's main test subject.  Another interpretation might be that GLaDOS is referring to Caroline rather than Chell meaning deleting Caroline will free GLaDOS of emotions.  This interpretation is less consistent with the concept of replacement in this lyric since Caroline is not being replaced at all, Chell is.  It is likely this series of lyrics is a blended reference to both Chell and Caroline.}}

* {{Spoiler|You're someone else's problem - GLaDOS being fed up by Chell by destroying her, putting Wheatley in command and other mistakes. She then tells Chell that she is no longer her problem.}}

* {{Spoiler|Oh how we laughed and laughed. Except I wasn't laughing - In the first line, GLaDOS is being sarcastic. On the second line she breaks the sarcasm back to the serious climate.}}

* {{Spoiler|You've got your short sad life left - GLaDOS is eternal, Chell the human is not.}}

* {{Spoiler|That would be funny if it weren't so sad - GLaDOS being sarcastic again.}}

* {{Spoiler|(Maybe not quite as heavy) - {An indirect insult to Chell, a comedic reference to how GLaDOS discouraged Chell by telling her she is "fat".}}

* {{Spoiler|Under the circumstances. I've been shockingly nice - GLaDOS usually attempts to kill Chell directly and indirectly, but on the second half of Portal 2, she helps Chell defeat [[Wheatley]] and, surprisingly nice.}}

* {{Spoiler|One day they woke me up. So I could live forever - GLaDOS is a well sustained and maintained AI computer, so she is unsurprisingly immortal.}}

* {{Spoiler|It's such a shame the same will never happen to you - Chell will never be uploaded to a computer, respectively.}}
