FAREWELL
Anti Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
but it's cold and forsaken there without you now
I wanted to dive into the ocean of love
but I got shipwrecked on the shores of broken dreams
For you I sang songs of the nightswan
and each line I wrote was a beat of my heart
Forever burning on love's funeral pyre:
Stop beating now, my bleeding heart!
For this knife did cut too deep
so for the last time I'm trying not to breathe
Once there was a fire in the lighthouse of my heart:
I gave you so much more than just my love
and you broke so much more than just a promise
Our planet vanished so devastatingly
amongst the mists of time
There was no treasure to be found at Rainbow's End
somewhere behind Andromeda
I've been waiting till the end of december
but no more will I ride
for the winter solstice's child
will pass away silently on a midsummer's night
So may you come now, my Dead Romantic Angel
serenade Kyrahnean Hymns to me
Hold me in your arms
cover me with elder flowers
and take me down to my beloved sea
I'm so tired, so tremendously tired
Please wait for me under the midgnight sun
where I will sing and dance again
and my laughter will be heard
echoing down the hillside again...
Oh, how I tried to believe how I loved,
How I tried to hold on to my dream;
How I wanted to live - but now I'm going home
to a place where love is more
than just a four-letter word
and as I kiss the memory of your goodnight
I'm beginning to see the light...
The song Farewell by Anti is a poignant and emotional exploration of lost love and heartbreak. It begins with the portrayal of the singer’s desire to live on top of a mountain and dive into an ocean of love, but both these desires remain unfulfilled as the persona realizes the emptiness of these experiences without their lover. The lines "For you I sang songs of the nightswan and each line I wrote was a beat of my heart" indicate how deeply the persona is in love with their partner and how their pain is deep and heartfelt.
The lyrics take a darker turn when the persona talks about being burned alive with love, and how the pain is too much to bear. The knife that cut too deep serves as a metaphor for the end of their relationship, which has caused unbearable pain. The imagery of the lighthouse burning and the planet vanishing depicts how the persona’s world has come crashing down after the loss of their love.
However, there is a sense of hope at the end of the song, as the persona realizes that they do not need the love of another to live a fulfilling life. They are looking forward to a place where love is not just a four-letter word and realizing that they need to move on, even if it is tough. The final lines suggest that while the pain of the break-up may always be present, it will eventually fade, and life will continue.

I wanted to live on top of a mountain
I dreamed of a life above everything else
but it's cold and forsaken there without you now
But without you, it doesn't matter
I wanted to dive into the ocean of love
I hoped to experience pure love
but I got shipwrecked on the shores of broken dreams
Instead, I found my hopes shattered
For you I sang songs of the nightswan
I expressed my love for you through music
and each line I wrote was a beat of my heart
I poured my heart into every note and word
Forever burning on love's funeral pyre:
My love has turned into pain and heartache
Stop beating now, my bleeding heart!
I can't bear the pain anymore
For this knife did cut too deep
The hurt I feel is too much to bear
so for the last time I'm trying not to breathe
I am giving up on life
Once there was a fire in the lighthouse of my heart:
Once, my heart was full of love and light
I gave you so much more than just my love
I gave you everything I had
and you broke so much more than just a promise
But you destroyed everything I held dear
Our planet vanished so devastatingly
Our world was destroyed
amongst the mists of time
In the passage of time
There was no treasure to be found at Rainbow's End
There was nothing left to hope for
somewhere behind Andromeda
In another place, unreachable
I've been waiting till the end of december
I've been waiting for a long time
but no more will I ride
But I am giving up
for the winter solstice's child
For the end of my life
will pass away silently on a midsummer's night
Will fade away quietly
So may you come now, my Dead Romantic Angel
I welcome death
serenade Kyrahnean Hymns to me
Take me away with your music
Hold me in your arms
Comfort me in my final moments
cover me with elder flowers
Let me be surrounded by beauty
and take me down to my beloved sea
Let me return to where I came from
I'm so tired, so tremendously tired
I am exhausted, emotionally and physically
Please wait for me under the midnight sun
But let me rest before I go
where I will sing and dance again
Where I can finally be free
and my laughter will be heard
And I can be happy again
echoing down the hillside again...
Like it used to be
Oh, how I tried to believe how I loved,
I tried so hard to love and believe
How I tried to hold on to my dream;
To hold onto my hope
How I wanted to live - but now I'm going home
How I wanted to live, but now I am returning to where I came from
to a place where love is more
To a place where love is not painful
than just a four-letter word
To a place where love is pure
and as I kiss the memory of your goodnight
And as I say goodbye to you
I'm beginning to see the light...
I am finally finding peace
