Swinging back and forth like pendulums
Back down, you are turning me into a monster
over and over I'm
Screaming but you don't even hear me when I'm saying
I know you love me
But let the truth unfold
I know you love me
I preview I preview
Oh I'm rise up against you
I'll stand my ground and
I'll say farewell

Oh I'm rise up against you
I'll stand my ground and
I'll say farewell
You can't tempt me will all of these open threats
Burnt me, put me out with cigarettes
I'll stand still, my tears will put the fire out
I'm downing so I don't hear a sound
I know you love me
But let the truth unfold
I know you love me
But you've left me so dark and cold

The lyrics to Manicanparty's "Farewell" evoke a sense of resilience, strength, and the unyielding determination to stand up for oneself. The song opens with the singer biting down to hold her fist down firm, an act of physical defiance that suggests there is something or someone she is battling against. The imagery of swinging back and forth like pendulums reinforces this sense of conflict, while the line "you are turning me into a monster" hints at the toll this battle is taking on her.
As the song progresses, the singer's tone becomes increasingly defiant. She screams, but feels like no one hears her, even though she knows they love her. The repeated refrain, "I'll stand my ground and I'll say farewell" emphasizes the singer's determination to break free from whatever is holding her back, even if it means saying goodbye to those she loves.
The final lines of the song are particularly powerful, as the singer declares "I know you love me, I know you love me, but let the truth unfold." This suggests that there is a deeper truth to be discovered, one that perhaps the singer has been denying or ignoring. By standing up for herself and saying farewell, she is finally taking a step towards uncovering that truth and moving forward with her life.
