Last Goodbye
Itchy Poopzkid Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It’s one step forward and three steps back
She turned my expectations
From bright white into black
Love looked so different on paper
Now I can’t look even with lights low
I need more of the medication
And then I´ll let you know
This is my last goodbye
It says forever
This is my last goodbye
We’re done together
No more illusions
In this institution
This is my last goodbye
Bye, yeah!
Not even close to perfection
I can’t see us in a crystal ball
No bubblegums and no passion
No butterflies at all
We have lost our ambition
The fairy dust has disappeared
I look back I look back and wonder
How could the days turn into years
This is my last goodbye
It says forever
This is my last goodbye
We’re done together
No more illusions
In this institution
This is my last goodbye
I make ends meet
I am outta here
I won’t be coming back
Finally found the only
Way to stay alive
We have been going nowhere
I’m on my feet again
I don’t need anyone
To help me fall apart
A lack of sympathy
I don’t care anymore
We have been going nowhere
It says forever
It says forever
It says forever
This is my last goodbye
It says forever
This is my last goodbye
We’re done together
No more illusions
In this institution
This is my last goodbye
No more illusions
In this institution
This is my last goodbye
Finally, I know why
In the song Last Goodbye by Itchy Poopzkid, the lyrics explore the emotions of a person coming to terms with the end of a relationship. The singer acknowledges that they could not have said things any better, but feels that the relationship has taken three steps back for every one step forward. The once bright love has turned dark, and even with the lights off, the person cannot look at it the same way again. They admit to needing medication, likely for coping with the emotions of the breakup, before they can communicate their feelings to the other person.
As the song progresses, the singer realizes that the relationship was never perfect. They cannot see a future in the form of a crystal ball, and there were no "bubblegums and no passion" or butterflies. They feel that the relationship has lost its ambition, and it is as if the "fairy dust has disappeared." As they reflect on how the days turned into years, they come to the conclusion that this is their final goodbye.
The singer declares that they have found the only way to stay alive, and despite needing to make ends meet, they will not be coming back. They are on their feet again and do not need anyone to help them fall apart. While they admit to once caring for the other person, they do not care anymore due to a lack of sympathy. The song concludes with the repeated line "this is my last goodbye," emphasizing the finality of the end of the relationship.
