Farewell
Ryan Johns Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
All our yesterdays have faded with the sun.
Don't forget, while I'm gone
Whatever comes your way will turn and run.
‘Cause I'm still here, in your heart
Looking down on you, from up above.
I'm your angel, I'm your angel.
But if you stand the whole world will know
You're not afraid of the unknown
Because when this life fades, you'll know just where to go.
I'll be there with a smile
Because I've been with you, through all the trials.
I'm your angel, I'm your angel.
But don't say goodbye it's not the end,
Close your eyes try to pretend that this is just a dream
Heartaches and pain will fade away
Only the memories remain, everything will be ok.
Be ok, be ok,
Be ok, be ok
The lyrics to Ryan Johns's song Farewell are deeply emotional and touching, conveying a comforting message to someone who is saying goodbye to a loved one. The opening line, "Say goodnight the time has come," sets the tone for the entire song, hinting at the finality of the moment. The following line, "All our yesterdays have faded with the sun," suggests that all the memories and experiences shared between the two people are receding into the past, like a sunset marking the end of a day. Despite the sadness and heartache, however, the singer offers reassurance: "Don't forget, while I'm gone / Whatever comes your way will turn and run."
This sense of security and protection is reinforced by the refrain, "I'm your angel, I'm your angel," which is repeated throughout the song. The image of an angel, looking down from above and offering guidance and encouragement, is a powerful one, and it conveys a sense of selflessness and devotion. The second verse reinforces this idea, as the singer tells the listener that "Storms will come, and they will go / But if you stand the whole world will know / You're not afraid of the unknown." The final lines of the song, "Heartaches and pain will fade away / Only the memories remain, everything will be ok," offer a sense of closure and hope, suggesting that even though the person may be gone, they will never truly be forgotten, and that the memories shared between the two people will endure.
