FAREWELL
Evan Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Sadness just makes me sigh,
I've come to say goodbye,
Altho' I go, I've got those farewell blues.
Those farewell blues make me yearn,
That parting kiss seems to burn.
Farewell, dearie, Someday I will return.
Dreaming of you is sweet,
Someday again we'll meet.




Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Evan's song, Farewell, speak to the bittersweet feeling of leaving someone or something behind, knowing that eventually, one will return. The opening line, "Sadness just makes me sigh," sets the tone for the rest of the lyrics, hinting at the melancholic emotion that often accompanies farewell. The singer is saying goodbye, but the farewell blues are still present, making them yearn for the person or place they are leaving behind. This is demonstrated in the second line, "I've come to say goodbye," which shows that the departure is a choice, not a forced one. However, the chorus, "Those farewell blues make me yearn, That parting kiss seems to burn," shows that even though it's a choice, leaving is not easy, and the singer is conflicted.

The third line, "Altho' I go, I've got those farewell blues," hints at a return, perhaps indicating that the person or place being left behind is not something the singer is leaving forever. The fourth line, "Farewell, dearie, Someday I will return," reinforces this hope, showing that the goodbye is not a final one.


Overall, the lyrics of Farewell embody the complex emotions of leaving someone or something behind, tinged with sorrow but also with hope for the future.
