Last Goodbye
NamNamBulu Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You had it all laid out
Controlling every single move
But there are things you cannot change
That lay beyond your reach
Surfacing as time runs by
The day will come to understand
What you tried to find one day
Has been destroyed by what you say
With no one left to miss you
And no one there to like the things you do
With solitude surrounding you
There is no way to be ending this
A victim of your own lies
That take away your disguise
With no one left to trust in you
No one to hear your last goodbye
With no one to remember you
No one to hear your last goodbye
You thought you had it all worked out
With all those friends you had
And your twisted sense of self esteem
Your mission was to shout out loud
All your half-believes
The truth was none of your concern
But one day you will understand
Once the things get out of hand
It is the lesson you will learn
That your luck is about to turn
The lyrics of NamNamBulu’s song Last Goodbye convey a message of regret, loneliness and despair. The song depicts a person who once had everything under control and laid out perfectly but, as time goes by, they realize that there are things beyond their control. The person struggles to find their place in the world, hoping to find a promised land. However, their hopes are shattered as they realize that their own lies and twisted sense of self-esteem have led to their isolation from others.
The lyrics suggest that the person tried to manipulate and control their surroundings, resulting in the destruction of their relationships with others. The loneliness and despair felt by the person are emphasized in the lines – “With no one left to miss you, and no one there to like the things you do, with solitude surrounding you, there is no way to be ending this”. The person is a victim of their own lies and deceit, unable to trust in anyone and forgotten by those who once knew them.
The lyrics suggest that the person will eventually learn their lesson, with their luck about to turn. However, it could also be seen as too little too late, as no one will be there to hear their last goodbye.
Line by Line Meaning
At first it seemed to run real smooth
Things appeared to be going well at the beginning
You had it all laid out
You had a clear plan in mind
Controlling every single move
Trying to maintain complete control over everything
But there are things you cannot change
Certain things are beyond your control
That lay beyond your reach
You cannot influence or affect those things
Surfacing as time runs by
These things will eventually become apparent over time
The day will come to understand
At some point, you will come to realize
Once you look for promised land
When you seek something better
What you tried to find one day
Your search for happiness, satisfaction or something else
Has been destroyed by what you say
Your own words or actions have ruined what you were searching for
With no one left to miss you
No one cares about your absence or departure
And no one there to like the things you do
No one appreciates or shares your interests or values
With solitude surrounding you
You are completely alone or isolated
There is no way to be ending this
There is no escape from your current situation
A victim of your own lies
You are suffering from the consequences of your dishonesty
That take away your disguise
Your lies have exposed your true nature
With no one left to trust in you
No one believes or relies on you anymore
No one to hear your last goodbye
No one cares or will be affected by your farewell message
With no one to remember you
Your legacy will be forgotten or insignificant
You thought you had it all worked out
You believed that you had everything under control
With all those friends you had
You had many acquaintances, but not true friends
And your twisted sense of self esteem
You had an unhealthy and distorted view of yourself
Your mission was to shout out loud
You wanted to make sure everyone knew your opinions or beliefs
All your half-believes
Your incomplete or unverified ideas
The truth was none of your concern
You were more interested in your own version of events than reality
But one day you will understand
Eventually, you will come to realize
Once the things get out of hand
When things spiral out of control
It is the lesson you will learn
You will learn a valuable life lesson
That your luck is about to turn
Things are about to change for the better or worse
