Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I've been down here once before
Take me down this road
Once again never again, forever more
Take me down this road once more
Take this love take this life
Take this blood, it'll never die
Take this lovetake this life
Take this blood, it'll never die
This ain't the last goodbye
Take me down this road
Just to see a smile on your face
Take me down this road
All that is and all that was
Can be replaced
Take me down this road once more
Take this love, take this life
Take this blood, it'll never die
Take this love, take this life
Take this blood, it'll never die
This ain't the last goodbye
Take this love,take this life
Take this blood, it'll never die
Take this love, take this life
Take this blood, it'll never die
This ain't the last goodbye
The lyrics of "The Last Goodbye" by Black Label Society is about the singer asking to be taken down a familiar road once again. The singer mentions that he has been down this road before, but he wants to go down it again. He wants to see a smile on someone's face, perhaps their lover or friend's face. He then repeats the lines "Take this love, take this life, take this blood, it'll never die, this ain't the last goodbye." The singer seems to be very passionately speaking to someone he cares about. The sentiment is that their bond and love can never die, and this is not their last goodbye.
The song's repetition of the phrase "take this love, take this life" highlights the importance of the relationship to the singer. The lyrics indicate that the singer is willing to give all that he has, including his love and life, for the person he is talking to. The idea is that they will always be connected, and this is not their final goodbye. The song is very emotional and reflective, with a deep sense of loyalty and love.
