Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
How we used to play like kids in the sun
Nowadays, there's no light to see
And we're feeling cold
So the time has come
To say farewell my friends
My fate is calling loud
Now I know - it can get tough
Do you - do you want to know it
I don't care about it
Somebody said that we could never ever die
Oh what a lie
You will see the light again
We'll all be free someday:
I know - 'cause united we stand
Goodbye my friends, I'm leaving you today
My quest is hard, but I must be on my way
Now, don't ask why
Goodbye dear friends
Don't you try and stop me
All I know is: I have to go!
There'll be no sense in my life at all
If I stay
You will never see it - you will never find it
Oh yes I will!
Someone will take my place if I DIE!
An old man said:
Some years ago; they've tried it all before
Some men of honor left
And searched for that land
They did not return. Now it's up to you
To play a better game - remember
When you're out there
Don't look back at all
Goodbye my friends, I'm leaving you today
The quest is hard,
I hope I'll find a way home one day
Goodbye my friends, I'm leaving you today
The quest is hard
I know I find a way home one day
You will see the light of day
We'll all be free again
All that's left to say is farewell
The lyrics to Gamma Ray's song Farewell explore the theme of departure as the singer says goodbye to friends and embarks on a difficult journey. The first stanza talks about how great it used to be when they were younger, playing outside in the sun, something that they can no longer experience. The singer sounds desolate as they mention the absence of light and the coldness around them. They conclude that it is time to say farewell to their friends as their fate is calling them. The second stanza speaks about uncertainty concerning where they will be tomorrow, and whether their fate will be favorable to them. They do not care, and somebody mentioned they'll never die; which the singer refutes as a lie. The chorus brings in a glimmer of hope as the singer propels a political message. They encourage unity and standing together as their freedom will come someday. The farewell statement comes through in the final stanza as the older generations intersperse their stories of a better game and the quest to find a way back home.
The song conveys a message of moving on to find something positive despite the uncertainties and fear that come with it. The farewell is about leaving old habits and memories behind to embrace new challenges that will bring them home eventually. The lyrics use metaphors of light, freedom, and unity, showing that some things are worth fighting for regardless of how difficult the task may be.

An old man said:
I once heard an elderly man say:
Some years ago; they've tried it all before
Many years ago, people attempted to do what I am doing now.
Some men of honor left
Some respectable men set out on a journey.
And searched for that land
They searched for a particular place or thing.
They did not return. Now it's up to you
They did not come back; now, it's your turn to take the lead.
To play a better game - remember
To do it better than they did - don't forget this.
When you're out there
When you embark on your journey.
Don't look back at all
Don't be nostalgic and look at your past.
The quest is hard,
My mission will not be easy,
I hope I'll find a way home one day
But I wish I could find a way back home someday.
All that's left to say is farewell
I have nothing more to say but goodbye.
