L.A. Goodbye
Secret Service Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
He's saying that soon this bird will fly
He says the forecast's looking fine
'Cross the runway I can see you
Looking lost and trying not to cry
I see you getting smaller
I wish that I could stall her
L.A. goodbye, oh oh oh
L.A. goodbye
L.A. goodbye, oh oh oh
Two hearts in love that will die
In just a minute says the captain
We'll take off from here and ride the sky
He says it's still "No Smoking"
All along we knew that this would happen
We just tried to hide it from ourselves
We tried to stay together
As if it was forever
Oh forever
L.A. goodbye, oh oh oh
L.A. goodbye
L.A. goodbye, oh oh oh
Two hearts in love that will die
L.A. goodbye
From way up high
L.A. goodbye
Two hearts in love that will die.
The lyrics to Secret Service's song "L.A. Goodbye" speak about a couple that is at an airport, with the captain announcing that their plane will soon take off. The singer of the song is on the plane, and he can see his partner through the window, getting smaller as the plane moves away. The couple seems to have known that they would eventually have to say goodbye, but they tried to hold onto their relationship as long as possible. The "L.A. goodbye" refers to the leaving of Los Angeles, as well as the farewell between the couple.
The captain of the plane tells the singer that he is welcome and that the plane will soon take off. He tells the singer that the forecast is looking fine and that they will soon be riding the sky. While the captain makes his announcements, the singer watches his partner through the window. He can see that she is lost and trying not to cry. He wishes that he could stay with her, but he knows that he must leave. The couple knew that they would have to say goodbye at some point, but they tried to ignore it, hoping that they could stay together forever.
In the end, they must part ways, with the singer flying away in the plane while his partner stays behind. The "L.A. goodbye" refers to both the physical departure from Los Angeles and the emotional goodbye between the couple. The lyrics are bittersweet, as the couple knew that this would happen, yet they still tried to hold onto their relationship. The song speaks to the pain of letting go of something that you love, even when you know that it's for the best.
