So Long
Not Available Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We had a lot of fun. The Party is over.
The light is going on, so move and do last orders
Of tasty brewed cold beer.
[Pre - Chorus1:]
But if you have a lighter, put it on right now
And sing along with me the next part of this song:
[Chorus:]
This is the last time that the amps will moan.
It is the point, when we will leave you alone.
But there's a thing I know for sure,
'cause it's the thing we all live for:
One day we will come back for more!
Smoke your last cigarette and grap the atmosphere now,
As lucky times go by! A wonderful night.
We hope that you'll come back to see us here the next time.
We wish you a good time!
[Pre - Chorus2:]
But if you have a lighter, put it on right now
And sing along with me the next part of this song:
I want you all!
And don't forget to come next time again so long!
[Chorus:]
This is the last time that the amps will moan.
It is the point, when we will leave you alone.
But there's a thing I know for sure,
'cause it's the thing we all live for:
One day we will come back for more!
The song 'So Long' by Not Available is all about the end of a party, where the band has finished their last song and it's time to say goodbye. The lyrics portray a bittersweet feeling, where the fun is over but there's a promise of coming back for more. The band is urging the crowd to grab the last atmosphere and take in the good times because it's the end. The chorus repeats that this is the last time the amps will moan, it's the point where the band will leave and the crowd will be alone. However, there's also a glimmer of hope that we will all come back for more at some point in the future.
The Pre-Chorus is what really stands out in this song. It asks the audience to participate and create an intimate moment where they all come together and sing as one. The lyric "But if you have a lighter, put it on right now and sing along with me the next part of this song: I want you all!" is a call to arms, whereby only true music lovers will have a lighter. The line "I want you all" is addressing the audience as one; the band wants them all to be part of this moment. It's also worth noticing that the band mention "tasty brewed cold beer" which is a clever wordsmith play for the audience to make sure they grab the last bit of their drink.

Verses: Em, C, G, D. Chorus: B, Em, D, G, then C, G, B at the end on the second time through the chorus. Outro: C, D, then E, C, G, D repeating. At the end it alternates between Em and A. The A (major) has that major third which really sticks out. Hope 10 months later isn't too late. :D
