You're(1) gonna(2) miss(3) me(4) |
|
(1) Not directed at any one individual "you" but rather a general "you" directed at a mass of people, that is all who happen to read this. A flipside to to what is known as "the Royal we." "Y'all're" in the southern USA, or "Y'inz are" in Pittsburgh. See note (4) for further clarification.
(2) Informal contraction of "going to," suggesting foreknowledge of an action that will take place in the future.
(3) "Miss" used here in the sense of feeling a lack, a loss, an absence, and not in the sense of address to an unmarried woman, nor a failure to connect.
(4) The problem of self-identity is one that philosophers have struggled with for centuries and, alarmingly, have not satisfactorily resolved. For our purposes, we must presume nothing deeper than the vernacular meaning: the awareness of being the same sentient entity through a linear continuum of changing times and places. I am me. You are you. A = A. A =/= not-A. A cannot = not-A in the same respect and at the same time.

2. I(1) don't(2) get(3) it(4) |
|
(1) See OP note (4)
(2) A signifying inaction, either willful or involutary - in this case, I should stress for clarity's sake that it's the latter.
(3) in the sense of comprehension, not aquisition.
(4) The object of "it" here is your post.

A witches brew of manifold and often-incompatible meanings. Could you clarify?
Also, I'm having trouble with your "But yet" construction. Why did you say essentially the same thing twice? Is this a jape for my "to to" typo in OP note (1)?

For the sake of absolute clarity, I'd like an elaboration - the word you used is a complex signifier with far too many meanings for me to comfortable attempting to guess at your point from context alone.
edit: I cna't tpye

7. That's only because after this thread I'd fuck him in any direction. |
