I think it refers to the idea that if you are "here" you are in the real world and have contact with reality. If you are "not here" it means you are "gone" for various reasons: you could be drunk, or drugged, or insane.

I have been told that the lyrics of popular music are not intended to be analyzed deeply. :)

:thumbsup:
that's sounds good for me and make sense with the rest of the lyrics
but maybe you're right some lyrics can be really odd

thank you!

Perikles has explained "gone". "Plain" can mean a lot of things, but in this context the general idea is "completely", "sin matices".
