I'm gonna tell it just like it was
I've been a factor i've been a slut
I'm gonna tell you I mean too much
I'm gonna tell you babe
I've been too vulgar I've been too sweet
I've been too adjusted, I've been a freak
I've been too fat to wear leather pants
None of my groupies want to dance

Overall Meaning

The song "Adios Amigos" by Marit Bergman seems to be a self-reflection and an attempt of the singer to come clean about who she is and what she represents. The opening lines "I'm gonna tell it just like it was, I've been a factor, I've been a slut" suggest that the singer is ready to reveal everything about herself, the good and the bad. She admits to being too vulgar or too sweet, too adjusted or a freak, too fat to wear leather pants, and having groupies who don't want to dance.

The chorus "Aoaoaoao-o-oo, Yeieieieie-ee, Naoaoaoao-o-oo, Adios amigos buenos dias hear another, yeeeei!" is a catchy and repetitive sequence of sounds that could be interpreted as the singer's attempt to disconnect herself from her past by saying "goodbye friends, hello another day."

The second verse "I'm a lousy guitarist I sing auto-tune, I've been outknocksious I've been such a crude, I've been too young and now I'm too old, I'm just too heavy BABY BABY!!" reinforces the idea that the singer is reflecting on herself and admitting her flaws. The chorus is repeated, followed by a bridge where the singer says, "Heyeyeyey-e-ee, Aoaoaoao-o-oo, Yeieieiei-e-ee, Adios amigos, Adi-Adios amigos, Adios amigos buenos dia hear another.....see man!" The repetition of "Adios amigos" suggests that the singer is ready to move on and let go of her past mistakes.
