Last Goodbye
Alex Band Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I turn the page
My story ends
I say goodbye to all my friends
I know it's getting late
Now the light is on my face
I changed the clocks back again
And ask forgiveness for my sins
Cause I don't know where I'll go
Well this is all that I really know

I'll keep holding on
I'll keep singing my song
It gets me through it
I've got the scars to prove it
Well I know the road is long
But I'm staying strong
So don't cry
Cause this is not my last goodbye

I'm finding out the hardest way
You learn before you fall from grace
In shadows we can grow
We are the seeds we sow
Through every single hour fades
From sand to stone and rock to clay
It's bittersweet this symphony
Enjoy the gift that's given to you and me

I'll keep holding on
I'll keep singing my song
It gets me through it
I've got the scars to prove it
Well I know the road is long
But I'm staying strong
So don't cry
Cause this is not my last goodbye

The red rain is pouring down
And now my feet don't touch the ground
I'm lost between the stars and moons
I will see you soon

I turn the page
My story ends
I say goodbye to all my friends
I know it's getting late
Now the light is on my face
I changed the clocks back again
And ask forgiveness for my sins
Cause I don't know where I'll go
Well this is all that I really know

I'll keep holding on
I'll keep singing my song
It gets me through it
I've got the scars to prove it
Well I know the road is long
But I'm staying strong
So don't cry
Cause this is not my last goodbye

Let me play for you
Let this heart ring true




One more time
Just one more time

Overall Meaning

The song "Last Goodbye" by Alex Band is about the end of a chapter in someone's life, but not necessarily the end of their life itself. The first verse talks about saying goodbye to friends and asking for forgiveness for sins, indicating that the person may have done something to cause the ending of this chapter. They don't know where they'll go next, but they're holding on and singing their song to get through it. The chorus affirms this determination to keep going and stay strong, and reassures those who may be upset about the ending that it's not the person's "last goodbye."


The second verse reflects on the idea that we learn from our mistakes and difficult experiences ("You learn before you fall from grace"), and that even though life can be tough, we can grow from it ("In shadows we can grow / We are the seeds we sow"). The bridge describes a sense of being lost or overwhelmed ("the red rain is pouring down" and "now my feet don't touch the ground") but also hints at the possibility of reuniting with loved ones eventually ("I will see you soon"). The final verse repeats the first, emphasizing that this chapter is truly ending but the person is still holding on and singing their song.


Overall, "Last Goodbye" is a moving reflection on the cycle of life's ups and downs, and the importance of perseverance and hope even in difficult times.

I can't believe, that this man isn't very popular. Now people are creating (mostly) some things not even like a real music. I don't get why his songs aren't very popular. Real music, real voice, lyrics! This is just amazing!
