The Sound of Goodbye
Perpetuous Dreamer Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Every face i see is cold as ice
Everything i touch is pale
Ever since i lost imagination
Like a stream that flows into the sea
I am lost for all eternity
Ever since you took your love away from me

Sometimes the sound of goodbye
Is louder than any drumbeat

Line by Line Meaning

Every face i see is cold as ice
Each person I encounter seems emotionally distant and uninvolved.


Everything i touch is pale
Nothing seems as vibrant or lively as it once did.


Ever since i lost imagination
After losing my ability to envision and dream, life lost its wonder and magic.


Like a stream that flows into the sea
I feel insignificant and absorbed into a greater, unchanging, and inescapable whole.


I am lost for all eternity
I am adrift, without direction or perceived purpose, with no end in sight.


Ever since you took your love away from me
Since you left me and took your love with you, my life is a void, and my heart is empty.


Sometimes the sound of goodbye
Every now and then, the pain and finality of saying farewell


Is louder than any drumbeat
can be more crushing and overwhelming than any percussive sound.
