So Long
Bearcubs feat. Secaina Hudson Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Why'd you take so long to call last night?
Are you really busy, is it a lie?
Tell the truth if there's nothing to hide
Are you thinking of me, did you try?

So long

You've got time that's for sure
Ringing my phone like I ain't got nothing to do
Stop being insecure
Now I'm alone
Tell me what you wanna do

Tell me what you wanna do
Tell me what you wanna do
Tell me what you wanna do
Now I'm alone, now I'm alone
Now I'm alone

So long

So long

You don't have to lose it all
We should keep it casual
You don't have to lose it all
We should keep it casual

So long

Why'd you take so long to call last night?
Are you really busy, is it a lie?
Tell the truth if there's nothing to hide?
Are you thinking of me, did you try?

So long





So long

Overall Meaning

The song So Long by Bearcubs feat. Secaina Hudson is a love ballad that tackles the importance of communication in a relationship. The singer seems to be questioning their partner's commitment, asking why they took so long to call last night and whether they are really busy or just making excuses. The lyrics emphasize the need for honesty and transparency in a relationship, and the dire consequences of neglecting them.


The chorus of the song, "So long", could be interpreted in two ways. On the one hand, it could mean goodbye, as in the singer is fed up with their partner's behavior and is ready to move on. On the other hand, it could be an expression of sadness and exasperation, as in "it's been so long since we've talked like we used to". This duality of interpretation deepens the complexity of the song and highlights the emotional ambiguity of the singer's situation.


The second part of the song is more upbeat and optimistic, as if the singer is trying to reconcile with their partner. The line "You don't have to lose it all, we should keep it casual" suggests a more laid-back attitude towards the relationship, perhaps to avoid putting too much pressure on it. Yet, the final repetition of "So long" creates a sense of uncertainty, as if the singer is not fully convinced that this is the right approach.
