Want You Gone by Aperture Science Psychoacoustics Laboratory [2:21] | Descargar | Reproducir

Letras

Well here we are again
It's always such a pleasure
Remember when you tried
to kill me twice?


Oh how we laughed and laughed
Except I wasn't laughing
Under the circumstances
I've been shockingly nice


You want your freedom?
Take it
That's what I'm counting on
I used to want you dead
but
Now I only want you gone


She was a lot like you
(Maybe not quite as heavy)
Now little Caroline is in here too


One day they woke me up
So I could live forever
It's such a shame the same
will never happen to you


You've got your
short sad life left
That's what I'm counting on
I'll let you get right to it
Now I only want you gone


Goodbye my only friend
Oh, did you think I meant you?
That would be funny
if it weren't so sad


Well you have been replaced
I don't need anyone now
When I delete you maybe
I'll stop feeling so bad


Go make some new disaster
That's what I'm counting on
You're someone else's problem
Now I only want you gone (×3)

Conexión con el juego

GLaDOS

• "Well, here we are again" - Portal 2 being the sequel to Portal.

• "Remember when you tried to kill me twice?" - The events of Portal.

• "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.

• "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.

• "Now I only want you gone" - GLaDOS deciding not to kill Chell and letting her go.

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

• "Now little Caroline is in here too" - Caroline is the personality GLaDOS was based on.

• "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.

• "It's such a shame the same will never happen to you" - Chell will never be uploaded to a computer, respectively.

• "You've got your short sad life left" - GLaDOS is eternal, Chell the human is not.

• "Goodbye my only friend" - GLaDOS deleting Caroline's personality from her memory.

• "That would be funny if it weren't so sad" - GLaDOS being sarcastic again.

• "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.

• "Go make some new disaster" - Referring to Chell destroying the Aperture Science Enrichment Center.

• "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.

Composición

«Want You Gone» fue escrito por Jonathan Coulton, quien también escribió «Still Alive», y la canta Ellen McLain, la voz de GLaDOS, cantante de ópera y que también canta «Still Alive» en Portal.

Curiosidades

• Cuando la canción acaba, la pantalla donde aparece la letra se ve flotando en el espacio y se ve a Wheatley deseando disculparse a Chell.
• La frase «I'll stop feeling so bad», mientras canta, se reemplaza por «[REDACTED]» en los créditos. Está relacionado con la descripción, previa al lanzamiento de Portal 2, del Casco de los Laboratorios Aperture en TF2.
