| "When I'm Gone" Song | comment |
This song comes in three basic forms (assuming that a man is singing to a woman): The singer is singing to the other person from the afterlife telling her not to miss him while he's gone. The singer is singing to a person right before going somewhere from which he might not return for a long time, if at all, asking her to do something while he's gone. Very close to the first and second, this version has the singer close to death or questioning how long his life will be and has him singing out all the things he wants to tell people before he's gone. This is different from a Break Up Song, because this kind of song isn't about the couple breaking up, and often carries the meaning that neither of the two really wants to part from the other, but they must because of forces outside their control. Compare Grief Song, which is about death. These frequently appear as Album Closure. |

"Be Back Soon" from the musical Oliver!. The pickpocket boys sing to Fagin and he sings back as they prepare go out into the street to pickpocket. The song mainly references returning, but considering that stealing at the time could conceivably carry a death sentence by hanging, an ominous cloud hangs behind the cheery tune and lyrics. Some examples: From Fagin: and And the boys: |

"No Reply" from the Cowboy Bebop soundtrack falls under type 3. A man commits suicide by jumping to his death, hoping that the love of his life, who has done nothing but good and supported him through everything, will forgive him for all the lies and ultimate betrayal he's shown to her. | |

"When I'm Gone" by 3 Doors Down has a dual meaning: The song is both about the singer going off on a tour and asking to be loved while he's gone, and the music video adds soldiers going off to war as another meaning. | |

"Flight of the Crows" by Jhariah. The man feels that he's disappointed everyone so much and dug himself into his own problems, that he isn't deserving of sympathy and they shouldn't care about him. He plans to kill himself and assures people that he'll be happier in his "golden second try", so they should forget about him altogether. | |

"Generator ^ Second Floor" by Freelance Whales is a weird variation: it's told from the point of view of someone who is either about to die or is already dead, reflecting on their life and giving certain instructions regarding his funeral, such as telling his loved ones to smile. | |
