Barbados Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
This time I´ve had it all
I will take no more
I´m better off alone
Out of this war zone.
We were a match
made in heaven above
But now you can´t seethe sun for the clouds
Well I have heard it all
And now I´m getting bored.
I know watcha going to say
But hey now
Let´s get it straight.
Ref: Who´s gonna turn you on
when I´m gone
Who´s gonna start you up
when you stop
When I´m not longer there
I´ve had enough I´m out of here
Who´s gonna wear your ring
poor thing
Who´s gonna fill the space in
my place
cause I am on my way
not a single day to late
Bye Bye
Bye Bye.
The same story here we go
againI guess I owe it every now and
then
well just because I am
only human.
Now let me out of this wicked
game
This UFO is turning home
again
cause I have heard it all
and I am getting bored.
I know watcha going to say
But hey now
Let´s get it straight.

In Barbados's song "Bye Bye Dreamer," the lyrics suggest the end of a relationship. The first line - "You make me feel like a UFO" - implies that the singer feels like they don't fit in or belong in their current situation. They then go on to say that they have had enough and are better off alone, out of this war zone. They were once a match made in heaven but are no longer compatible, as the singer feels that their partner cannot see the sun for the clouds. The singer has heard it all and is getting bored, which suggests that the relationship has become stagnant and unfulfilling.
The chorus repeats the question, "Who's gonna turn you on when I'm gone?" which suggests that the singer was providing some kind of excitement or fulfillment for their partner. The repetition of this question emphasizes the singer's frustration and their sense that their partner will not be able to find what they had elsewhere. The phrase "poor thing" in the line "Who's gonna wear your ring poor thing" also suggests a certain amount of pity for the partner who will be left behind.
Overall, the lyrics of "Bye Bye Dreamer" suggest the end of a relationship that has grown stale and unfulfilling. The singer is ready to move on and has little faith that their partner will be able to find what they had with them elsewhere.
