Good Bye Honeymoon
Saint Privat Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Goodbye, honeymoon
Seems like troubles came far too soon
Don′t expect me to forget
Slowly but surely
I start to regret
The day the two of us met
The things we have said
The time we have spent

Mhhhhh Mhhhhh dadada

You and me we were not meant to be
But you kept telling me
Let's wait and see
I came along your way
But now
You seem so far away

You and me we were not meant to be
But you kept telling me
Let′s wait and see
I came along your way

But now
You seem so far away

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Saint Privat's song "Goodbye Honeymoon" convey a sense of disappointment and regret in a failed relationship. The song begins with the realization that troubles have arrived sooner than expected, indicating that the initial optimism and happiness of the honeymoon phase has quickly dissipated. The singer acknowledges that they cannot simply forget the issues they are facing, and slowly but surely, they begin to feel remorseful about the day they met and the time they have spent together.

The repetition of "You and me we were not meant to be" emphasizes the mismatch between the two individuals in the relationship. Despite this, the singer reflects on how their partner repeatedly encouraged them to wait and see, possibly holding onto hope that things would improve. However, as time passes, their partner seems more distant, further highlighting the disconnect between them.

The introspective nature of the lyrics suggests self-realization and an understanding that the relationship was doomed from the start. The lines reflect a bittersweet blend of sadness and acceptance, as the singer realizes that their initial hopes for the relationship were unrealistic and that it is time to let go and move on.

Line by Line Meaning

Goodbye, honeymoon
Farewell to the blissful beginning of our relationship

Seems like troubles came far too soon
Difficulties arose unexpectedly early

Don't expect me to forget
Do not assume I will erase memories easily

Slowly but surely
Gradually and steadily

I start to regret
I begin to feel remorse

The day the two of us met
The moment we first crossed paths

The things we have said
The words we exchanged

The time we have spent
The duration we shared

Mhhhhh Mhhhhh dadada
Non-linguistic sounds, expressing mixed emotions

You and me we were not meant to be
Our relationship was not destined to last

But you kept telling me
Yet, you persistently reassured me
