Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
This is my way to get what I was waiting for
So wake from your sleep
Just take my hand and get out of here
Open your eyes
Are you happy?
I'll watch you die
Are you happy now?
You can't see that I can't be free
But now it's time to walk away
To take back my life
Kiss goodbye
It's my last chance to break this fuckin chain
So don't be sad
Goodbye my fair lady I'll see you in hell
I'm better off on my own
It's all that i'm living for

This is my way to get what I was looking for
I have found my own path to achieve what I desire
This is my way to get what I was waiting for
I have followed my own method to attain what I have longed for
So wake from your sleep
Open your eyes and be aware of yourself
Just take my hand and get out of here
Come with me to a better place and leave behind what holds us down
Open your eyes
See the truth and break free from the constraints of illusions
Are you happy?
Are you truly content with your current situation?
I'll watch you die
I will witness the end of our relationship
Are you happy now?
Are you finally at peace with our separation?
And every night I play that game
I constantly struggle with my emotions and actions
You can't see that I can't be free
You are unaware that I am trapped and unable to break away
But now it's time to walk away
It is time for me to move on and let go
To take back my life
To regain control and ownership of my existence
Kiss goodbye
I bid farewell to what belongs to the past
It's my last chance to break this fuckin chain
This is my final opportunity to sever the ties that bind me
So don't be sad
Do not grieve or lament for what is coming
Goodbye my fair lady I'll see you in hell
Farewell to you, my dear, we shall meet again in the afterlife
I'm better off on my own
I am content and fulfilled with my independence
It's all that i'm living for
The pursuit of my individuality is my ultimate goal in life
