Since then, Aviatic has walked away with the top prize in battle of the band competitions such as the Universal CityWalk Competition and the UCLA Bruin Battle. They have also played numerous sold-out shows in the L.A. area. In November 2006, the group had the opportunity to rehearse at the CenterStaging complex in Burbank,CA, where members played new songs that have since only been released on iTunes as videos, not audio tracks. Lead singer and keyboardist Sebu Simonian expressed the Aviatic's hopes of releasing a new album in the new year.
However, a follow-up to Arrival was never released. Instead, band members have kept busy with a number of solo projects. As of 2009: Guitarist Ryan Welker has had his own successes with composing for film, TV, and gaming. Sebu Simonian has been creating his own trance/electronica tracks. Lastly, bass guitarist Clint Feddersen and drummer Barrett Yeretsian teamed up with 2 other musicians to create Lunar Sway. The latter group once again covered "Goodbye Beautiful Day" as part of their repertoire.
Goodbye Beautiful Day
Aviatic Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Stealing day after day
The moon calls and night falls
goodbye beautiful day
Seems time never can stay
just keeps running away
the stars fly
leaving nothing left to say
chorus:
Goodbye Beautiful Day
I must be on my way
Stop the rain and ease my pain
I'm sorry I can't stay
Goodbye beautiful day
thats all I have to say
come tomorrow I'll be gone
I'm sorry I can't stay
time always has her say
slowly slipping away
its gone now but somehow
there's no telling time today
this time i'll go away
and i'll be gone to stay
we all know we will go
thats all i have to say
repeat chorus 2x

In the chorus, the singer says goodbye to the beautiful day, apologizing for having to leave, and acknowledging that time waits for no one. The lyrics convey a sense of nostalgia for what has been lost, while recognizing that the future holds the promise of new experiences.
The song touches on themes of transience and impermanence, reminding listeners that nothing lasts forever. Despite the sadness and regret expressed in the lyrics, there is also a sense of acceptance and resignation. The singer knows that he must move on, and is grateful for the memories he has made. The repetition of the chorus emphasizes the finality of the moment, echoing the sentiment that sometimes, all we can do is say goodbye and move on.

Time passes and fades away
Stealing day after day
Taking away moments and opportunities with each passing day
The moon calls and night falls

Saying farewell to the day that has now come to a close
Seems time never can stay

just keeps running away

and hearts cry
As time passes, people's emotions and feelings can change and intensify

Once the day is over, there is nothing left to do or say
