No Regrets
Dirk Blanchart Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It's too long over to
Far too long
I had nothing to show to you
Goodbye, dry eyes
I watch your face
Fade off
And it feels so strange
To walk away alone
There's no regrets
No tears goodbye
I don't want you back
We'd only cry again,
Say goodbye, again
My friends are trying
To turn my nights to day
Strange faces, new place
Keep the ghost away
Just beyond the darkest hour
Just behind the dawn
It feels so strange
To live my life alone
There's no regrets
No tears goodbye
I don't want you back
We'd only cry again,
Say goodbye, again
The lyrics of Dirk Blanchart's song "No Regrets" convey a deep sense of sadness and acceptance of the end of a relationship. The opening lines, "I know you're leaving, It's too long over to, Far too long, I had nothing to show to you," suggest that the singer's partner has decided to end things, and that he accepts this as inevitable, having failed to give her good reason to stay. The subsequent lines "Goodbye, dry eyes, I watch your face, Fade off, Against the moon," express a sense of resignation, acknowledgement of the finality of the situation and a desire to make a clean break.
The chorus, "There's no regrets, No tears goodbye, I don't want you back, We'd only cry again, Say goodbye, again," seems to sum up the singer's outlook on the situation. He has no regrets, no desire to reconcile with his former partner, and recognizes that it would only lead to more pain. The subsequent lyrics explore his attempts to move on, with his friends trying to help him find distractions from his sadness, but ultimately acknowledging that "it feels so strange to live my life alone."
The song carries a universal theme of heartbreak and acceptance but leaves the listener with a sense of closure and hope after difficult emotional experiences.
