Time to Say Goodbye
Hue Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

When I am alone I sit and dream
And when I dream the words are missing
Yes I know that in a room so full of light
That all the light is missing
But I don't see you with me, with me
Close up the windows, bring the sun to my room
Through the door you've opened
Close inside of me the light you see
That you met in the darkness

Time to say goodbye
Horizons are never far
Would I have to find them alone
Without true light of my own with you
I will go on ships over seas
That I now know
No, they don't exist anymore

It's time to say goodbye

When you were so far away
I sit alone and dream of the horizon
Then I know that you are here with me, with me
Building bridges over land and sea

Shine a blinding light for you and me
To see, for us to be

Time to say goodbye
Horizons are never far
Would I have to find them alone
Without true light of my own with you
I will go on ships over seas
That I now know




No, they don't exist anymore
It's time to say goodbye

Line by Line Meaning

When I am alone I sit and dream
When I am isolated, I imagine and fantasize


And when I dream the words are missing
My dreams lack language or expression


Yes I know that in a room so full of light That all the light is missing
I comprehend that in a space with full of light, something is still absent


But I don't see you with me, with me
However, your absence is noticeable


Close up the windows, bring the sun to my room Through the door you've opened Close inside of me the light you see That you met in the darkness
Please shut away the distractions and create an opportunity for me to bask in the light you saw in me when everything was dark

It is time to leave now. Even though the unknown future seems daunting, I would rather not face it without you as my light.

I will take the risk and explore new paths since the previous ones are not viable anymore.


When you were so far away I sit alone and dream of the horizon Then I know that you are here with me, with me Building bridges over land and sea
Previously, when you were distant, I looked toward the horizon and thought of you. However, I am now confident that the distance between us does not matter since we will establish a connection no matter what.


Shine a blinding light for you and me To see, for us to be
May a radiant light guide us so that we may see each other and grow closer.
