Goodnight
Sad Park Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

It's no fun
Being the only one
Who has to see you
In every way
But I know now
That I'll be fine

As long as you just say goodnight

To me
Say goodnight
To me

It's no good
Everything I should
Have done with you
It's all gone away
But I know now
That i'll be fine

As long as you just say goodnight
To me
Say goodnight
As long as you just say goodnight
To me

Say goodnight
To me

Overall Meaning

In the lyrics of "Goodnight," Sad Park expresses their feelings of solitude and the pain of seeing someone they love, but not being able to be with them. They lament that being the only one who has to see the other person in every way is a lonely and difficult experience. However, they have come to accept that it is just the way things are and have realized that they will be okay as long as that person says goodnight to them.

The second verse showcases the regret and sorrow that Sad Park feels for not having done more with this person they love. They acknowledge that everything they should have done with that person is gone, but despite all that, they will be okay as long as the other person says goodnight. The repetition of "say goodnight to me" throughout the lyrics emphasizes the importance of this simple gesture in providing comfort to the singer.

Overall, the song conveys a sense of heartbreak and loss, but also a glimmer of hope in knowing that a small gesture of kindness from the other person can make it all better.

Line by Line Meaning

It's no fun
It's not enjoyable

Being the only one
Being the sole person

Who has to see you
Who needs to witness you

In every way
In every aspect

But I know now
However, I understand now

That I'll be fine
That I will manage

As long as you just say goodnight
If you only bid farewell to me

To me
Directly to me

Say goodnight
Utter the word goodnight

It's no good
It's not worthwhile

Everything I should
All the things I ought to have done
