Cups (Pitch Perfect's When I'm Gone) Lyrics

I got my ticket for the long way round.
Two bottles of whisky for the way.
And I sure would like some sweet company and I'm leaving tomarrow what do ya say.

When I'm gone.
When I'm go-o-one
You're gonna miss me when I'm gone.
You're...

    She has so much to give in love , life , and talent and wants to share it . She has it all but it means little with no one to share it with ... it’s a sad song . Yet she is turning the tables by realizing her worth . She is off to give to herself now and the ones who took her for granted will realize a bit too late

    I think she thinks no one's going to miss her when she goes away. so she goes away and hopes maybe that someone will miss her

    This song has changed meaning since I’ve been fighting alcoholism and have attempted to end my life. And these thoughts were crossing my mind this morning “I wonder if any of my family will really understand the person I was if I was gone, if they would finally see..” and then I remembered the lyrics to this song in the same moment.. definitely taken on a whole new meaning. Music is amazing.

    i personally think it's about suicide and how she's leaving away from the people who took advantage of her and broke her apart, and how she thinks (or hopes) that those people are gonna miss her when she's gone. maybe they will, maybe they won't. all i know is that this song just hits me right in the feels everytime i listen to it. (idk about you guys but i came back to this song after reading this very sad Genshin Impact story about this character named Kaeya Alberich-- haha. my interpretation of this song is also inspired by that story.)

    I think it's about suicide. She has two bottles of whisky for the way (maybe to kill herself with some pills and lots of alcohol). (I mean why would you take so much alcohol with you when you are travelling alone? and just for the way?)

    She thinks that others and maybe a special person will miss her. And of course there will be some, who will miss her and be very sad and the special person would miss her too, but maybe not the way she wants even if she's telling herself that little lie.

    Don't get it or don't agree? No problem :)

    I think it means she has a ticket for a train ride and she has two bottles of whisky to drink on that ride. She wants somebody to come with her.
    She thinks that the person is gonna miss her when she leaves if that person doesn't come with her. And she thinks that that person is gonna miss her hair and her body when she leaves.
