Blacklite District is originally from the Black Hills of South Dakota, and was founded by guitarist Kyle Pfeiffer, and vocalist Roman James. After years of writing songs and playing live in the Black Hills area, Kyle and Roman were discovered by Grammy Award-winning producer, Stephen Short in early 2011. This brought upon two new members to bring into the equation, bassist Chauncey “CK” Köchel, and session drummer Matt O'Rourke. CK and Matt began rehearsing with the band in the weeks leading up to entering the world’s largest residential recording studio, Sonic Ranch. With producer Stephen Short and engineer Charles Godfrey on board, Blacklite District recorded their 7-track debut album, “This is Where it Ends”, in the summer of 2011.
Following the completion of the album, the band relocated to Los Angeles, and has accomplished a lot in a short period of time. On September 30, the group's first single, "I'm Stil Right Here", debuted at Active Rock Radio in 5 states in the Midwest on X-ROCK 101.1 (KDDX), where it eventually hit the Top 20. On October 28, BLD debuted live at the World Famous Whisky A Go-Go on the Sunset Strip in Hollywood, CA. On 11-11-11, "This is Where it Ends" went on sale to digital retailers and has so far gotten rave reviews.
With a debut album out worldwide, a hit single at radio, and up-coming tour dates, it’s sure to say that this band strives for success. “We look forward to touring and getting our music out there,” says singer Roman James. “We know people are going to dig what they hear, especially if they’re tired of all the generic sounding music being released in todays 'sub-par' music industry.” Blacklite District combines heaviness with catchiness and has a distinct sound that separates them from other bands.
In early 2012, the band began a monumental promotion campaign in support of "This is Where it Ends", which will continue through out the year. The band's second single, "Left Behind", will be released to radio in new markets.
In the fall of 2012, BLD relocated from Hollywood, CA to Orlando, FL after signing a new management deal with famed Creed and Paramore manager Jeff Hanson, and will release a new album in late 2012 on Silent Majority Group/Warner Music Group.
Band Members:
Roman James - Vocals
Kyle Pfeiffer - Guitar

Goodbye
Blacklite District Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
To the man with no soul
You can walk right by him
And He'll take you home
Down the same road
That you always roam
To the same old places
That you always go
You already know
In the same bad graces
That you've always known
Send the same old message
That you set in stone
But it don't mean nothing
When you're on your own
I fight to see
For what I believe
But all this doubt
Is killing me
So this is it
I never quit
The fear overcoming
Goodbye
Say goodbye to the knife
That you sharpen with your life
Say goodbye
To the dark side
Goodbye
Say goodbye to the lies
And the pain
You hold inside
Say goodbye to that old life
Goodbye
Time to step it up
It's time to shine
I can feel it creeping
Up my spine
Time to set it straight
So here's your sign
I'm gonna take it all
Cause you know it's mine
I'm gonna spend it all
And it's on your dime
I'm gonna break you all
And I'll feel just fine
I'm gonna take the fall
If I fit the crime
And yeah I fit the crime
I fight to see
For what I believe
But all this doubt
Is killing me
So this is it
I never quit
The fear overcoming
Goodbye
Say goodbye to the knife
That you sharpen with your life
Say goodbye
To the dark side
Goodbye
Say goodbye to the lies
And the pain
You hold inside
Say goodbye to that old life
Goodbye
Gone are the days of old
Lost are the lies we're told
Now I can realize
I'm glad to say goodbye
Look to the times ahead
Breathe like it's your dying breath
Feel like you never feel
Be glad to say goodbye
Goodbye
Say goodbye to the knife
That you sharpen with your life
Say goodbye
To the dark side
Goodbye
Say goodbye to the lies
And the pain
You hold inside
Say goodbye to that old life
Goodbye
Goodbye
(Goodbye)
Goodbye
(Goodbye)
Goodbye
Now you know that
This is goodbye
Goodbye
Now you know that
This is goodbye
Goodbye
The song "Goodbye" by Blacklite District is a powerful anthem about letting go of past pain and moving forward with determination. The opening lines set the scene for a journey through familiar territory, both physical and emotional. The "man with no soul" could be a metaphor for the emptiness and despair that can come with feeling stuck in a rut, going through the motions of life without any real purpose or satisfaction. The chorus encourages the listener to say "Goodbye" to the negative influences holding them back, whether it be self-doubt, toxic relationships, or destructive habits. The verses speak to the struggle of overcoming these obstacles, but ultimately the message is one of hope and renewal. The repetition of "Goodbye" at the end of the song emphasizes the importance of letting go in order to move forward.
Overall, "Goodbye" is a powerful song with a universal message that will resonate with many listeners. It is a reminder that it is never too late to shed old skin and start anew.
Line by Line Meaning
You can say hello
You can greet the man with no soul
To the man with no soul
Refers to a soulless person
You can walk right by him
You can casually ignore him
And He'll take you home
But he will still lead you down the familiar path
Down the same road
The same route that you're always on
That you always roam
The routine path that you're accustomed to
To the same old places
The common destinations that you frequent
That you always go
The places that are routine and familiar
See the same old faces
You already recognize the people you see
You already know
The routine places and faces are already known to you
In the same bad graces
You perceive yourself in the same negative situation
That you've always known
The negativity is well-known to you
Send the same old message
You deliver the same standard communication
That you set in stone
The communication is fixed and unchanging
But it don't mean nothing
But it is insignificant
When you're on your own
When you're alone with your thoughts and fears
I fight to see
I struggle to comprehend
For what I believe
For my convictions and ideals
But all this doubt
But my skepticism and hesitation
Is killing me
Is severely affecting me
So this is it
This is the turning point
I never quit
I never give up
The fear overcoming
But my fear is still prevailing
Say goodbye to the knife
Put an end to the destructive and self-harming behavior
That you sharpen with your life
That makes you a destructive individual
Say goodbye to the dark side
Put an end to the negative and depressing world you're living in
Goodbye
The end of something or leaving something behind
Say goodbye to the lies
Stop pretending and being untruthful to others and to yourself
And the pain
And the emotional suffering that you feel
You hold inside
The pain that you are hiding within yourself
Say goodbye to that old life
Bid farewell to the previous way of living
Time to step it up
It's time to start accelerating and elevating yourself
It's time to shine
The time to be successful has come
I can feel it creeping
I have a sensation that success is about to happen
Up my spine
The sensation is all over my body
Time to set it straight
To start making things right
So here's your sign
And here is the signal to start
I'm gonna take it all
I am going to become the best version of myself
Cause you know it's mine
Because success is my rightful possession
I'm gonna spend it all
I'm going to take full advantage of success
And it's on your dime
And it will all be worth your investment
I'm gonna break you all
I will surpass every challenge and defeat every opponent
And I'll feel just fine
And I will enjoy the thrill of it
I'm gonna take the fall
I will take the blame for the consequences of my actions
If I fit the crime
If I am liable for the offense
And yeah I fit the crime
And indeed, I am the offender
Gone are the days of old
The days of past have concluded
Lost are the lies we're told
The falsehood and deception are now gone
Now I can realize
Now I understand and perceive
I'm glad to say goodbye
I am happy to move on from those experiences
Look to the times ahead
Focus and aim toward the future
Breathe like it's your dying breath
Take a breath like you've never taken one before
Feel like you never feel
Experience emotions that you haven't felt before
Be glad to say goodbye
Feel content when you bid farewell
Goodbye (Goodbye)
The end of something or leaving something behind
Goodbye (Goodbye)
The end of something or leaving something behind
Goodbye (Now you know that
The end of something or leaving something behind
This is goodbye
This is truly the end and finality of it all
Goodbye (Now you know that
The end of something or leaving something behind
This is goodbye
This is truly the end and finality of it all
Goodbye
The end of something or leaving something behind
