Shaylen Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Got some problems but yeah, I kinda like it
When I′m low, in the high, don't know why I
Keep on telling more lie, lie, lie, lies
I′m feeling a way, feeling a vibe
Think I might cry then I'm alright
Oh, what a life, out of my mindMe, myself and I
Feeling a way, feeling a vibe
Think I might cry then I'm alright
Yeah, I′m alright
I try to say goodbye and I choke
I try to walk away and I stumble
Though I try to hide it, it′s clear
My world crumbles when you are not here
Goodbye and I choke
Try to walk away and I stumble
Though I try to hide it, it's clear
My world crumbles when you are not herе
Yeah, tried to hold it down but I′m in a crisis
Slippin' up and then I fall, back on my shit
Swinging moods, missing you, don′t know why I
Keep on tеlling more lie, lie, lie, lies
I'm feeling a way, feeling a vibe
Think I might cry then I′m alright
Oh, what a life, out of my mind
Me, myself and I
Feeling a way, feeling a vibe
Think I might cry then I'm alright
Yeah, I'm alright
I try to say goodbye and I choke
I try to walk away and I stumble
Though I try to hide it, it′s clear
My world crumbles when you are not here
Goodbye and I choke
Try to walk away and I stumble
Though I try to hide it, it′s clear
My world crumbles when you are not here
I got one foot in then I do it again
I got one foot in then I fuck up again
I got one foot in and I swear that I quit, yeah
I swear that I quit
I try to say goodbye and I choke
I try to walk away and I stumble
Though I try to hide it, it's clear
My world crumbles when you are not here
Goodbye and I choke
Try to walk away and I stumble
Though I try to hide it, it′s clear
My world crumbles when you are not here, yeah
Shaylen's song "Goodbye" is a heartfelt ballad that speaks about the tumultuous feelings one experiences when trying to walk away from a relationship that has reached its end. The lyrics encapsulate the sense of struggle, pain and confusion that the singer is going through as she tries to hold on to a relationship that has lost its spark. She confesses that despite having some vices and facing problems, she is still attached to the relationship and the emotions it brings.
The chorus employs a literary device in which the singer finds herself unable to say Goodbye and stumbling even when she is trying to walk away. This metaphor highlights how the singer is struggling to let go and move on, even though she knows that it is for the best. The verses showcase the singer's emotions and how they fluctuate from feeling a way or feeling a vibe, to missing her partner and being out of her mind.
The song's raw vulnerability and honest portrayal of the emotions makes it relatable and emotive for the listeners. The lyrics hit home for anyone who has found themselves in a toxic or unfulfilling relationship but cannot seem to walk away from it.
