Last Goodbye
Shaman's Harvest Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

What were you trying to find
Can't live at all without nothing to hide
It only brings anger when
You're bringing it home again

Here's to another last goodbye

Keeping this doubt at a distance
How long have we fumbled
And who cries innocence
Skin's become leather
So we don't feel at all

We're tearing these holes inside
Oh how the emptiness drags at the mind
We've cauterized the wounds so they don't bleed

Here's to another last goodbye
You know it's been too hard when tears run dry
So fill up your glasses and toast one down
Oh down it is
Here's to another last goodbye

How can we stop telling lies?
It comes so easy like dead to the flies
You say you don't notice
What an enemy that you've made of me

We keep hope a bird on a string
Don't fear it escaping we'll cut off its wings
I'd tell you it's over but why say what we both see now

Here's to another last goodbye
You know it's been too hard when tears run dry
So fill up your glasses and toast one down
Oh, down it is
Here's to another last goodbye, bye, bye
Here's to another last goodbye
Oh, here's to another last goodbye




Oh, here's to another last goodbye
Here's to another last goodbye

Overall Meaning

The song "Last Goodbye" by Shaman's Harvest is a melancholic ballad that explores the pain of a broken relationship. The lyrics suggest that the relationship has become toxic and unsustainable, with both partners struggling to keep up appearances and hide their true emotions from each other. The opening lines "What were you trying to find/Can't live at all without nothing to hide" suggest that one partner may have been keeping secrets or trying to cover up their true feelings, leading to tension and conflict in the relationship.


The chorus "Here's to another last goodbye" reinforces the idea that the couple has gone through a cycle of breakups and reconciliations before, and perhaps this time it will be final. The second verse takes a more introspective tone, with the singer questioning whether they have been complicit in perpetuating the lies and deception that led to the relationship's demise. The lines "How can we stop telling lies?/It comes so easy like dead to the flies" suggest that both partners may have contributed to the breakdown of trust in the relationship.


Overall, "Last Goodbye" is a bittersweet reflection on the pain of letting go of a relationship that is no longer healthy or viable. The lyrics are poignant and introspective, and the slow, mournful melody reinforces the sense of loss and longing expressed in the words.
