Good Bye Emily Feat. Gabriella Hanninen
Parov Stelar Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You think you reign over me
You think you rule my life
Treat me as if you were the one who (may determine)
I am glad to be the one who can change this situation
I will (...) my right of self-determination
I'm much too good to be punished
I'm much too nice to get hurt
I'm much too loud to be silent
I'm much too precious to be ignored

There is no way for you to stay in my life
You think you smile to me
Your grimace hits me like a knife
I'm much too good to be punished
I'm much too nice to get hurt




I'm much too loud to be silent
I'm much too precious to be ignored

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Parov Stelar's song "Good Bye Emily" speak to the idea of self-empowerment and standing up for oneself in relationships. The singer is addressing someone who they feel is trying to control them and their life, and explaining that they will no longer put up with being treated in such a way. Despite the other person's attempts to make the singer feel small or insignificant, they assert their right to determine their own path and make their own decisions.


The singer also emphasizes their own worth and value, stating that they are "much too good" to be punished or hurt, "much too loud" to be silenced, and "much too precious" to be ignored. By asserting their own value and importance, the singer is able to detach themselves from the toxic relationship and move on to a life where they are free to be their true selves without fear of being controlled or manipulated.


Overall, "Good Bye Emily" is a powerful anthem of self-determination and self-worth, encouraging listeners to stand up for themselves and leave behind any relationships or situations where they are not being treated with the respect and care they deserve.
