Goodbye Blue
BADBADNOTGOOD Lyrics

Tu es le bleu de ma vie
You are the most important person in my life, the one I love.

Tu es le bleu de ma vie, vie, vie, vie
You are the blue in my life, representing sadness or melancholy but also depth and truth. This repeats to emphasize their importance.

I'm so colourblind
I am unable to see or understand the emotions you are displaying because I lack empathy and connection.

Did I say it right?
Am I expressing myself correctly? Do you understand the depth of my emotions?

Take the long way home
Take the time to think and process your emotions before saying goodbye.

See I'm so out of touch
I am disconnected from my emotions and my relationships with others. I struggle to understand what is happening around me.

But I've come around to see
After some reflection or introspection, I have come to the realization that my behavior or attitude was wrong.

That it's not enough
Simply walking away from a difficult situation or relationship is not enough. It requires more effort and intentionality to make things right.

To walk away (out of sight)
Leaving without addressing the underlying problems will only lead to more pain and misunderstanding.

I think you have to bluff
Sometimes you have to pretend or act confident, even when you're unsure, to make peace or progress in a situation.

To say some things
To express your true feelings or thoughts, even if it's uncomfortable or difficult.

To eat alone with your winning grin (goodbye blue)
To put on a brave face and appear happy even when inside you are feeling blue or sad.

Sad to see you go
Expressing sadness or regret at the thought of someone leaving or the end of a relationship.

You were bound to run (yeah, you)
You were always going to leave or end this relationship because it was not healthy or sustainable.

Keep unravelling
Keep revealing pieces of yourself or your emotions, even if it's uncomfortable or difficult. This will help to understand and connect with others on a deeper level.

Still unsurfacing
There are still parts of myself that I have not fully explored or understood. I still have work to do to become more self-aware.

It's the chamomile
Chamomile is known for its calming properties, which may represent the soothing influence this person has on the artist.

It's the afternoon
The afternoon is a time for reflection and introspection, which may be when the singer is thinking about their relationship with this person.

I'm unsurfacing you
I am trying to understand you on a deeper level, to know you more fully as a person.

In you, in you, in you
Emphasizing that this person is the focus of the artist's attention and emotions.

You were bound to run
Repeating this line to emphasize the inevitability of the end of this relationship.
