ハローグッバイ
斉藤和義 Lyrics

The lyrics to 斉藤和義's song ハローグッバイ express a sense of restlessness and disillusionment with the world. The singer longs to meet with someone special whenever the moon rises, but feels that the world is only kind during fleeting moments of happiness. The singer also feels that the truth is hidden in darkness, and that their life is cluttered and disorganized. In the chorus, they say goodbye twice, perhaps indicating a sense of resignation and detachment.

The second verse describes the singer's desperation and the lies they tell themselves and others. Memories that refuse to fade keep them rooted in a painful past. In the second chorus, the singer asks whether they can be considered an adult if they can't make a choice. They also wonder how they would handle various challenges and ask for guidance from the person they long to meet.

Overall, the lyrics convey a sense of loneliness, confusion, and a desire for connection and meaning. They suggest that the singer is struggling to find their place in the world and to make sense of their past and present experiences.
