Say Goodbye
Papas Fritas Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You ending up here when you didn't agree
But now that you're gone, when people fall wrong
You'll be the one who's missing the fun
No turning back to what you do
You'll float in the air and you'll savor the view
And when you get down, just look all around
Picture so perfect you'll want to give
So lonesome a soul
Some reason to live
That's just how it goes, you and your wings exposed
You didn't ask for the part
It's all just breaking your heart
Your will is dying and they are crying out to you
Say goodbye to all your friends
Say goodbye to all your friends and all your lovers until the end
Who needs a myth when you're young and free
But you are the angel you're smiling at me
It's all just breaking your heart
Now that this time is feeling so new
You'll know what to do
Not to lose
The love you left behind
The song "Say Goodbye" by Papas Fritas seems to be about someone leaving a place or a group of people behind, potentially against their will, but accepting that they cannot go back and must move forward. The first verse suggests that the person ended up in this position without agreeing to it, and now that they're gone, they will be the one missing out on the fun. The second verse describes the person moving forward and experiencing a newfound sense of freedom, but also acknowledging that they will be leaving behind people they care about who will miss them. The chorus emphasizes the need to say goodbye to everyone, even though it may be difficult, and the final verse suggests that the person will know what to do in order to hold onto the love they left behind.
The lyrics are somewhat vague, leaving room for interpretation, but it seems to be a bittersweet song about moving on from a situation that was not ideal. Despite the sadness and uncertainty, the person seems to be embracing the freedom and opportunity for growth that comes with leaving, while also acknowledging the pain of saying goodbye to loved ones.

To hold onto
The love you left behind
The affection you left in the past
