Say Goodbye
Sarcastic Sounds Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
On the same old chord progression
I′d be a-okay if I could be how you see me
But F it
And I can't wait 'til I′ve ascended
To those pearly gates in Heaven
If they take one look at my punk ass, just forget it
I won′t get in 'cause
Yeah, I think life has passed me by
You can say goodbye
Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh (one, two, three, four)
I sleep myself into a coma
On this whiskey scented sofa
Strum away my days instead of trying to go for
My diploma, so
I tell myself that I′m an artist
It's how I wish to be regarded
It′s a full time job being a fucking fraud and that's where my hеart is
′Cause my whole life has passеd me by
You can say goodbye
Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh
In Sarcastic Sounds's song "Say Goodbye," the artist expresses their exhaustion with singing about depression on the same old chord progression, wanting to be accepted for who they are but feeling like they can't be. The artist is frustrated with the idea that they'll never be good enough and that they won't be accepted into Heaven because of their flaws. The lyrics then go on to detail the artist's struggle with their own art and the fraudulent persona they have created for themselves in order to be seen as an artist. They feel as though their whole life has passed them by and that others can just say goodbye if they don't measure up.
The overall theme of the song deals with the difficulty of feeling like you aren't enough and the pressure of constantly trying to measure up. The artist is honest about their shortcomings and the challenges they face in trying to be accepted and seen as an artist. The use of the chord progression is intentional as it highlights the repetition and monotony of the artist's struggles.
