Entwine was a Finnish gothic metal band from Lahti, Finland. They were originally assembled as a death metal band under name 'Kaamos' ('Polar night' in English) in Lahti, Finland in 1995 by guitarist and vocalist Tom Mikkola, drummer Aki Hanttu and bassist Teppo Taipale. They changed their name to Entwine in 1997 when they decided to change the musical style to gothic metal and rhythm guitarist and vocalist Panu Willman was added shortly after to the band's line-up. In December of that year, Entwine recorded its first demo, entitled Divine Infinity. In February of 1998 keyboard player Riitta Heikkonen joined the band.
Entwine's debut album Treasures Within Hearts was released it in September of 1999. In April of 2000 both Willman and Taipale left the band, with the latter being replaced by Joni Miettinen. Vocalist Mika Tauriainen was added to the band on the following month.

Jaani Kähkönen joined the band as a live session guitarist in late 2001, but soon became a permanent member of Entwine.

Say Goodbye
Entwine Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Would you please step aside
Hide your face and try to cry
I believe that your time has come
Cry your silent tears on the side of the road
There's so many things that you cannot define
To say goodbye...
It's a tricky world when you steep outside
Cannot even see that your time will come
You're reaching out, but you're staying alone
Not even listening the things,
That I've told you twice
I don't know why...
Faith in me is gone
You're chasing dreams of no return
Integrity my love
Don't pray for life that has been burned
That future is cruised
Say goodbye...
The lyrics of "Say Goodbye" by Entwine convey the message of someone who has lost their way in life and now faces the hard reality of having to say goodbye. The first verse speaks of a "wicked lie," someone who is not being honest and must be pushed aside. The subject is encouraged to cry their silent tears and let go of things they cannot define. The chorus echoes the sentiment of the song that saying goodbye is difficult, particularly when you feel like you're outside of the world, and everything seems to be working against you. The subject is reaching out for help, but they remain alone and unable to hear the advice given.
The second verse speaks of a loss of faith and integrity as the subject chases dreams of no return. The message here is that they are holding onto something that is already gone, and they need to let go to move forward. The bridge emphasizes the finality of the situation, that the future is cruised, and there is no going back. Ultimately, the subject must say goodbye for their well-being, and it is a difficult but necessary step to take.
