See You Around
Skid Row Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I never promised you the sunshine
You never handed me the moon
We're pulling threads out of our faded silver lining
We've grown out of our cocoon

The last train is leaving
There's nothing more that I can say
I didn't mean to bring you down
I guess I'll see you around

I left the best of my intentions
Took it one day at a time
It's not like all is lost or that the world is ending
We've just fallen from the vine

The last train is leaving
There's nothing more that I can say
I didn't mean to bring you down
I guess I'll see you around
Well I'll see you around

Whatever direction we go
Rest assured the one thing we know
Things just really didn't go our way

It's not like all is lost or that the world is ending
We've just fallen from the vine

The last train is leaving
There's nothing more that I can say
I didn't mean to bring you down
The last train is leaving
There's nothing more that I can say
I didn't mean to bring you down




I guess I'll see you around
Well I'll see you around

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Skid Row's song "See You Around" are about a couple who are parting ways. The opening lines, "I never promised you the sunshine / You never handed me the moon," suggest that their relationship hasn't lived up to their original expectations. The lines "We're pulling threads out of our faded silver lining / We've grown out of our cocoon" are an acknowledgment that the good times they shared as a couple are now over. They are struggling to find something good to hold onto in their relationship, but there is little left of what first brought them together.


The chorus of the song contains the memorable lines "The last train is leaving / There's nothing more that I can say / I didn't mean to bring you down / I guess I'll see you around." These lines suggest that the relationship is at an end, and that the couple must part ways. The singer is somewhat remorseful, saying that he didn't intend to hurt his partner, but he accepts that it's time to move on. The bridge of the song "Whatever direction we go / Rest assured the one thing we know / Things just really didn't go our way" suggests that despite their best efforts, their relationship has not worked out.


Overall, "See You Around" is a somber song about letting go of a failed relationship. The lyrics are full of regret and sadness, as the couple realizes that their time together has come to an end.
