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
Sometimes
The sound of goodbye
Is louder
Than any drumbeat
Sometimes
The sound of goodbye
Is louder
Than any drumbeat

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

Sometimes
The sound of goodbye
Is louder
Than any drumbeat
Sometimes
The sound of goodbye
Is louder
Than any drumbeat

Sometimes
The sound of goodbye
Is louder
Than any drumbeat
Sometimes
The sound of goodbye




Is louder
Than any drumbeat

Overall Meaning

The Sound of Goodbye by Armin van Buuren pres. Perpetuous Dreamer ft. Elles de Graaf is a powerful ballad about the pain of heartbreak and how the sound of a goodbye can be deafening. The singer begins by describing how every face she sees and everything she touches is devoid of warmth and color, feeling as if she has lost her imagination. The loss she feels is emphasized by the metaphor of a stream that has flown into the sea, being lost for all eternity. This feeling of being lost is particularly acute since the end of her relationship.


The refrain, "Sometimes the sound of goodbye is louder than any drumbeat," is particularly haunting. It emphasizes how the most mundane things, like the sound of a goodbye, can be incredibly powerful and overwhelming. The singer contrasts the quiet, personal goodbye to the loud, universal power of a drumbeat. This suggests that goodbyes are not just private moments shared between two people but that they reverberate through the world and can be felt by all people. This ballad is a powerful and relatable expression of the pain that comes with romantic heartbreak and how it can feel all-consuming, even in everyday moments.
