Goodbye Agony
Black Veil Brides Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I had to say goodbye
Lived and learned from every fable
Written by your mind
And I wonder how to move on
From all I had inside
Place my cards upon the table
In blood I draw the line
Living a life of misery
Always there, just underneath
Haunting me, quietly alone
It's killing me, killing me
Dead and gone, what's done is done
You were all I had become
I'm letting go of what I once believed
So goodbye agony
I watch the stars and setting suns
As the years are passing by
I never knew that hope was fatal
Until I looked it in the eye
And now I'm not sure I am able
To reach the other side
Casting out the light
Living a life of misery
Always there, just underneath
Haunting me, quietly alone
It's killing me, killing me
Dead and gone, what's done is done
You were all I had become
I'm letting go of what I once believed
So goodbye agony
Goodbye agony
Not alone in forgiving
The faithful and the blind
Innocence is forsaken
I leave 'em all behind
And then I see that even angels never die
Living a life of misery
Always there, just underneath
Haunting me, quietly alone
It's killing me, killing me
Dead and gone, what's done is done
You were all I had become
I'm letting go of what I once believed
So goodbye agony
Goodbye agony
Goodbye agony
The song "Goodbye Agony" is a powerful expression of pain and the struggle of letting go of something that has been such a big part of oneself. The opening lines, "Heaven's gone, the battle's won, I had to say goodbye," give the impression of a loss, possibly referring to the end of a relationship or the death of a loved one. The second line, "Lived and learned from every fable written by your mind," suggests that the singer has gained wisdom from their experiences and that they have been shaped by the stories of someone else.
The chorus conveys a sense of desperation, with the lyrics "Living a life of misery, always there, just underneath, haunting me, quietly alone, it's killing me, killing me." The repetition of "killing me" emphasizes the pain the singer is feeling, and the use of "alone" creates a feeling of loneliness, even if the singer is surrounded by people. The lyrics "You were all I had become, I'm letting go of what I once believed, so goodbye agony" indicate that the singer is trying to move on from their pain and let go of their old self, but it is not easy.
The final line of the song, "Goodbye agony," is a powerful declaration of the singer's determination to overcome their pain and move on, even though it is not an easy process. The song's melody adds to the sense of sadness and longing, with a slow and mournful guitar riff and a haunting, almost whispered vocal delivery.
Line by Line Meaning
Heaven's gone, the battle's won
The struggle is over, but it came at a great cost
I had to say goodbye
I had to part with someone or something significant
Lived and learned from every fable
I gained wisdom and experience from every story I encountered
Written by your mind
Created by the imagination and beliefs of others
And I wonder how to move on
I'm uncertain how to continue after such a loss
From all I had inside
From everything that was once dear to me
Place my cards upon the table
To openly and honestly reveal my true intentions and feelings
In blood I draw the line
I'll do whatever it takes to defend myself and my values
I've given all my pride
I've sacrificed my ego and self-importance
Living a life of misery
Enduring consistent pain and suffering
Always there, just underneath
Lurking below the surface, constantly present
Haunting me, quietly alone
Tormenting me in silence, with no one to confide in
It's killing me, killing me
Causing me unbearable distress and harm
Dead and gone, what's done is done
The past is over and can't be changed
You were all I had become
I defined myself through my attachment to you
I'm letting go of what I once believed
I'm releasing my former beliefs and attachments
So goodbye agony
Farewell to the intense pain and anguish
I watch the stars and setting suns
I contemplate the beauty and transience of life
As the years are passing by
As time relentlessly progresses
I never knew that hope was fatal
I never realized that hope could be a source of danger or disappointment
Until I looked it in the eye
Until I was forced to confront its consequences
And now I'm not sure I am able
I'm uncertain if I have the strength or ability
To reach the other side
To overcome my current state and attain a better one
Casting out the light
Rejecting hope or positivity
Not alone in forgiving
Others have also forgiven or moved on
The faithful and the blind
Those who are devout or naive
Innocence is forsaken
The purity and goodness of humanity has been abandoned
I leave 'em all behind
I'm moving on from my past and those who were a part of it
And then I see that even angels never die
I realize that all things, even pure and holy ones, eventually come to an end
Goodbye agony
A final farewell to the suffering and turmoil
Goodbye agony
An affirmation of the ending of the pain
Goodbye agony
A final, definitive goodbye to the distress

And I wonder how to move on
From all I had inside
Place my cards upon the table
In blood I draw the line
I've given all my pride
Living a life of misery
Always there, just underneath
Haunting me, quietly alone
It’s killing me, killing me
Dead and gone, what's done is done
You were all I had become
I'm letting go of what I once believed
So goodbye agony
I watch the stars and setting suns
As the years are passing by
I never knew that hope was fatal
Until I looked it in the eye
And now I'm not sure I am able
To reach the other side
Casting out the light
Living a life of misery
Always there, just underneath
Haunting me, quietly alone

Dead and gone, what's done is done
You were all I had become
I'm letting go of what I once believed
So goodbye agony
Goodbye agony
Goodbye agony

I remember hearing this for the first time from a girl who told me she wanted this song for the one-shot imagine that she requested. She told me that she was being made fun of because of the music she's listening to. I never judged her even for the short interaction we had and loved this song even if I didn't listen to this type of music before. This was my first Black Veil Brides song and I love it.
Even if two years have passed, I never forgot her especially now that I'm in love with this type of music as well. I tried to search for her but I couldn't find her, but she's forever in my mind and there are times when I wonder how she's doing now.
It made me smile how much you can affect a person's life.

My first Black Veil Bride song was Knives and Pens that a girl showed me as well. I never knew that I would actually like this kind of music. Even though I don't like her now I'm still happy she showed me this type of music especially this band
