Gratitude
Faces In Disguise Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
where our road parts
and new pathways unfold
into shifting lullabies
Let us wave hands,
kisses at the distance
you will certainly find
For there's nothing to regain
Sweetheart, farewell!
In my immense gratitude
It's you I won't forget
Her fading silhouette resembles
a singing bird at a forest
of abandoned dreams and wishes
where unwillingly we failed
Should there be another
time of laughter and regret
we will meet again
we will meet again some day
For there's nothing to regain
Sweetheart, farewell!
In my immense gratitude
It's you I won't forget
We should whisper goodbye here
where our road parts
we will meet again
we will meet again some day
The song Gratitude by Faces In Disguise is a melancholic yet hopeful ballad that talks about parting ways with someone we care about deeply. The first verse describes saying goodbye at a fork in the road where both parties will embark on new journeys, but still holding on to the memories of the old one. The use of "shifting lullabies" creates an image of a bittersweet farewell that is both soothing yet unsettling. The second verse talks about the pain of letting go, noting that the fading silhouette of the departing person resembles a singing bird in a forest of abandoned dreams and wishes where they have both unwillingly failed. However, there is a glimmer of hope in the final verse, with the promise of a future meeting where they will both laugh and regret together. The repetition of "we will meet again" provides a sense of consolation and reassurance, allowing the singer to find closure in the goodbye and move forward into their new journey with hope.
