Sound of Goodbye
Armin van Buuren Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Every face i see is cold as ice
everything i touch is pale
Ever since i lost imagination
Like a stream that flows into the sea
I am lost for all eternity
Ever since you took your love away from me

Sometïmes the sound of goodbye
Is louder than any drumbeat





Overall Meaning

The lyrics to "The Sound of Goodbye" by Armin van Buuren are dark and sad. The singer is expressing his feelings of abandonment and loneliness following a break-up. He feels like all the life has been drained out of him and everything he encounters is dull and lifeless, symbolized by the coldness he sees in people's faces and the paleness of everything he touches. The loss of his love has caused him to lose his creativity and imagination, he is lost and will stay lost forever without her.


The chorus of the song, "Sometimes the sound of goodbye is louder than any drumbeat" is a poignant and powerful way of expressing the pain and finality of a break-up. The metaphor suggests that the sound of someone leaving can be so overwhelming that it drowns out all other noises and emotions, just like a loud drumbeat can overpower any other sound. The song is a heartbreaking reflection of the emotional turmoil and despair that can accompany the end of a relationship.
