So long
Solar Fragment Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
To calm your trembling hands
Know that our bond of affection
Prevails my early end
Outrage they did blame me for
And I guess they are right
So tragic might be one's destiny
When fate and guilt decide
All of these colours
Are fading into gray
Nameless faces,
They watch me pass away So long, I'll wait for you
And it tears my soul in two
Like all my broken
Dreams I'm dying
This pain I'm going through
Will bring me back to you
When time has come
We are united
To the fairest
I bowed my head
By a sinner
It is raised instead
I knew Thee well,
More than I thought No fears were harming
The bliss of our time
I will pay now for my crime
I hear the hangman call
(don't be afraid, we will meet again)
In the course of my duty I open the door
So long, I'll wait for you...
Don't lose your heart
Just know I'll be waiting
For you in the dark
So long, I'll wait for you...
I fade away
The lyrics of "So Long" by Solar Fragment embody a melancholic and reflective mood about paying for one's mistakes. The first verse portrays a writer addressing a person, reassuring them that their bond of affection remains strong even in the face of blame caused by an outrage, which the writer accepts. The following lines propose a tragic ending due to fate and guilt, and the colors start to fade into gray, symbolizing the dying beauty and vibrance of life. The chorus repeats the line, "So long, I'll wait for you," signifying the writer's longing and the pain of separation.
In the second verse, the writer confesses to sinning and raising their head to the fairest, indicating to God that they knew them better than they thought. The line "No fears were harming the bliss of our time" suggests that the writer shared a happy time in life but must now pay for their actions. The pre-chorus picks up, with the hangman calling, but the writer still handles their responsibilities by opening the door, facing their punishment. The song fades with a final statement of waiting for the person in the dark.
The lyrics of "So Long" offer an introspective and emotional message about the consequences of sinful actions. The song quotes a promise of waiting while experiencing pain, regret, and ultimately, resignation to fate.
