Goodbye.
Apparat (ft. Anja Plaschg from Soap&Skin) Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And turn down the light
Fold out your hands
Give me a sign
Hold down your lies
Lay down next to me
Don't listen when I scream
And fall asleep
Find out
I was just a bad dream
Let the bed sheet
Soak up my tears
And watch the only way out disappear
Don't tell me why
Kiss me goodbye
For Neither ever, nor never
Goodbye
Neither ever, nor never
Goodbye
Neither ever, nor never
Goodbye
Goodbye
The lyrics of Apparat Soap&Skin's song "Goodbye" suggest a desire to escape from reality and find comfort in a peaceful sleep. The first verse talks about wanting to go to bed and asking someone to put them to bed, asking them to fold out their hands and give them a sign that everything will be alright. The singer instructs the person next to them to ignore their screams, bury their doubts and fall asleep.
The second verse describes the singer crying onto their bedsheet, letting it soak up their tears as they watch the only way out disappear. The singer asks the person next to them not to explain why they want to leave, simply kiss them goodbye. The refrain of "Neither ever, nor never / Goodbye" implies a final farewell, signifying a desire to leave everything behind and move on. Overall, the lyrics convey a feeling of hopelessness and a longing for escape from a painful reality.
The song has a haunting and melancholic feel that is both beautiful and unsettling. The sparse instrumentation and delicate vocals add to the feeling of solitude and isolation. The lyrics are open to interpretation, and there are many different ways to read them. Some listeners may hear a story of a relationship break-up, while others may hear a cry for help from someone struggling with mental health issues.
Line by Line Meaning
Let's go into bed Please put me to bed
I'm exhausted and need someone to take care of me, to help me rest.
And turn down the light
Make the environment comfortable and peaceful so I can rest better.
Fold out your hands
Provide me comfort and safety with a warm hug.
Give me a sign
Share something with me that I can trust and feel secure about.
Hold down your lies
I'm aware that you may not be totally honest with me, but I don't want to hear it now. Let's pretend for a while that everything is okay.
Lay down next to me
I need someone to be physically close to me to feel loved and cared for.
Don't listen when I scream
I may have emotional outbursts or nightmare, but please do not judge me or abandon me. Stay with me as I vent out my emotions.
Bury your thoughts (doubts)
I'm aware that you may have suspicions or worries about me, but let's forget about them for now.
And fall asleep
Let's both relax and rest now, hopefully, in each other's arms.
Find out
Realize, after you wake up, that all the fuss and worries was just a bad dream.
I was just a bad dream
I was just an illusion, or someone that the singer wishes to forget, but cannot.
Let the bed sheet
Let the artist weep, mourn, or grieve over the moment that is now lost.
Soak up my tears
Allow the singer to feel the sadness and hopelessness while trying to cope with it.
And watch the only way out disappear
The only escape was sleep and now it's gone. The singer has to face reality once again, probably the reason why the song is called Goodbye.
Don't tell me why
No explanation needed. The situation is what it is, and there is no need to add to the pain and confusion.
Kiss me goodbye
Maybe a farewell gesture, a symbol of the closure that both speakers need to move on. Or else, it could be an ironic reminder of the love that they shared, that is lost forever.
For Neither ever, nor never Goodbye
This phrase is repeated three times, emphasizing the finality of the goodbye. There is no going back; they need to let go and move on.
Goodbye
The simple and painful acceptance of what is lost, and that they have to say goodbye.
