Although Gryffin has recently been on the cusp of a major breakthrough, he began his musical journey growing up as a classically trained pianist, before expanding his sonic palette with guitar at an early age. He played in bands to initially hone his instrumental abilities, until he dove head first into the world of music production at the University of Southern California. Throughout college and beyond, Gryffin further refined his skills that have blossomed into his artistic mastery that is appreciated by his counterparts and adoring fans around the world. In his genre, artists typically DJ to showcase their talents, but live performance is where his heart lies in capturing the essence of his work.
With a world-debut at this past SnowGlobe Music Festival, Gryffin unveiled his anticipated live performance to finally connect with those who have been behind his impressive play counts. His passion and love for musicianship, and artistry within music shined through as he performed with live instrumentation (guitar, keyboard, synths, & drum pads) in a continuous dance music format to keep up the energy characteristic of DJ sets. Since this performance was a resounding success, the excitement is brewing for his next two sold-out shows at Los Angeles’ The Roxy, and New York’s Bowery Ballroom to close out his first-ever live tour.
Following the conclusion of the tour, Gryffin made the leap to his first original production, “Heading Home” featuring Josef Salvat, which immediately became #1 on Spotify’s Global Viral 50 chart, US Viral Chart, and accumulated a million plays in one week after being released via Darkroom/Interscope Records. It’s already looking like 2016 is going to be Gryffin’s biggest year yet.
Bye Bye
Gryffin Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Be outta sight when I'm finished with this cup of coffee
It's the last time we'll be golden
Don't wanna cry
'Cause I don't know where to go but I'm going
And we'll say we'll stay in touch but we won't and
We're just staying 'cause we're scared to be lonely
Don't wanna see you, wanna kiss you, wanna love you
But I don't wanna say bye don't wanna say bye
I got my reasons but I get caught in my feelings
And I don't wanna say bye, don't wanna say bye bye
I don't wanna say bye bye, don't wanna say bye bye
I got my reasons but I get caught in my feelings
And I don't wanna say bye, don't wanna say bye bye
Don't wanna say bye bye
Don't wanna say bye bye
So tongue tied as we're talking
Just white lies 'cause I don't wanna see you hurting
The good times come flooding
Try not to cry
'Cause I don't know where to go but I'm going
And we'll say we'll stay in touch but we won't and
We're just staying 'cause we're scared to be lonely
But we both know this ships sinking slowly
Don't wanna see you, wanna kiss you, wanna love you
But I don't wanna say bye don't wanna say bye
I got my reasons but I get caught in my feelings
And I don't wanna say bye, don't wanna say bye bye
I don't wanna say bye bye, don't wanna say bye bye
I got my reasons but I get caught in my feelings
And I don't wanna say bye, don't wanna say bye bye
Don't wanna say bye bye
Don't wanna say bye bye
I know I need to let you go
We need to cut these ties
But tell me that if I let you go
You will still be mine oh
Don't wanna see you, wanna kiss you, wanna love you
But I don't wanna say bye don't wanna say bye
I got my reasons but I get caught in my feelings
And I don't wanna say bye, don't wanna say bye bye
I don't wanna say bye bye, don't wanna say bye bye
I got my reasons but I get caught in my feelings
I got my reasons but I get caught in my feelings
And I don't wanna say bye, don't wanna say bye bye
Don't wanna say bye bye
Don't wanna say bye bye
No, I don't wanna
No, I don't wanna say
No, I don't wanna say goodbye
No, I don't wanna
No, I don't wanna say
No, I don't wanna say bye bye
The lyrics of Gryffin's song "Bye Bye" talk about the struggles of ending a relationship. The singer knows that it's not right to be together anymore, but the prospect of saying goodbye is still difficult to handle. He opens by acknowledging that he and his partner are aware that their relationship is not working, and they are only delaying the inevitable breakup.
However, the singer is finding it challenging to come to terms with leaving the relationship behind. He doesn't know where to go, but he knows he can't stay with his partner. They make promises to stay in touch, but Gryffin knows that they won't and that they are only staying together because they fear being alone. He thinks that the ship is slowly sinking, and it's time to say goodbye.
Despite the turmoil, Gryffin doesn't want to say "bye" to his partner. There are moments when he wants to kiss them and love them, and he gets caught up in his feelings. He admits to feeling tongue-tied and telling white lies to avoid hurting the other person. In the chorus, he reiterates that he doesn't want to say goodbye, and he has his reasons for feeling that way, but he knows he has to let go eventually.

This song reaIly describe my feelings back then, i wanna cry.
I really had the bad LDR.. distance in distance.. distance in religion.. try to keep in touch, that's 2 years so hard for us to keep going with every reasons we have, we say it .. but we both know it's still sinking. For 2 years and finally we can't make it. We know we don't want to say goodbye, but in other side we know we can't keep going. I don't know why, but then i find this quote and i realised something.
"When we love someone, we want to be that person's whole world. But you need to understand, that this world is too large just for two."
If u guys in this situation. Dont give to much focus in your relationship, it will give you question, question and question.. how long we like this? Are you miss me? are you love me?
I didn't sure but maybe, the problem is We bored because we are too focus in our relationship world.
Sorry for bad grammar, i just try to give my opinion because i can see so many couple have case like this.

Was definitely a blessing to be able to see you at Outside Lands in SF (drove 5 hrs just to watch you then drove 5 hrs back home and worked the next morning). Was also awesome seeing you at Hollywood Palladium when you kicked off your tour! So proud of you and see you grow! 🙌🏽🥰❤️
