Separation
Brightwell Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Here we go

Here we go with another sleepless nights
Go tell all your friends
You've been at it again
So I think its time where I pack your bags and leave you
Standing in the end
Tell me how it was
I am lost within it

Tell me how it was
I can't remember when I lost my touch
I'm falling and I'm trying to get up, get up

You keep telling me to breathe in, breathe out

I promised we'll work things out
I've heard this once, I've heard this twice
Just keep feeding me all your lies
You've turned this beat into a straight line

Tell me how it was
I can't remember when I lost my touch
I'm falling and I'm trying to get up, get up

Tell me how it ends
My conscience always breaks more than it bends
So I'm separating my thoughts from my friends, from my friends

I cant hear you, so who's the one to blame
I cant feel you, who'd be the one
You'd be the one to blame

All of this time, I'd like to rewind
I knew you saw this in the corner of your eyes
I'm getting numb this time were done
I'll turn my back and fucking run
I cant believe we used to call this shit so much fun

Tell me how it was
I can't remember when I lost my touch
I'm falling and I'm trying to get up, get up

Tell me how it ends




My conscience always breaks more than it bends
So I'm separating my thoughts from my friends, from my friends

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Brightwell's song "Separation" tell the story of a relationship that has reached its breaking point. The singer has had enough of the lies and the sleepless nights, and decides to pack their bags and leave. The chorus repeats the line "Tell me how it was, I can't remember when I lost my touch," suggesting that the singer has lost a sense of themselves in this tumultuous relationship. They are falling and struggling to get back up, just trying to understand what went wrong. The second verse speaks to the emptiness and numbness the singer feels, as they separate themselves from their friends and try to move on from the failed relationship. The final lines declare that they will never be able to look back on what used to be "so much fun" with the same joy.


The lyrics overall suggest a sense of frustration, loss, and a need for closure. The repetition of the "tell me how it was" line indicates a desire for understanding and closure, even though the singer knows deep down that things can never be the way they were before. The final lines of the song suggest that the singer is trying to move on, even though the pain of the separation still lingers.

They should hire a rhythm guitarist. Their performances would be much better, since I hear 2 guitars in that song.
