Goodbye My Friend
T.O Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Feel the pain
I'm going insane
Put a needle in my vein
Dead or alive it's the same
Crawling back into the cage
Front to back
I will try to
This time I won't
Feel anymore
The sensation of
Crossing through the dark
I will repay
All that you've said
"Thank you" for being by my side
I won't be what you want
I will decline your offer now
The grave is soon to be yours
The end is comin'...
Sooner or later you will regret what you've said
Coming back much stronger, neglecting my innocence
Nothing will suppress me from taking what I want
We will defy the odds with this one
Drink this, smoke that, rock that
Endless power to loose
Be ashamed
I was yours
But now I'm not anymore
This time I won't
Feel anymore
The sensation of
Crossing through the dark
I will repay
All that you've said
"Thank you" for being by my side
This time I won't (This time I won't)
Feel anymore ( Feel anymore)
The sensation of
Crossing through the dark
I will repay (I will repay)
All that you've said (All that you've said)
"Thank you" for being by my side
This time I won't
Feel anymore
The sensation of
Crossing through the dark
I will repay
All that you've said
"Thank you" for being by my side
This time I won't (This time I won't)
Feel anymore (Feel anymore)
The sensation of
Crossing through the dark
I will repay (I will repay)
All that you've said (All that you've said)
"Thank you" for being by my side

Line by Line Meaning
How many roads had I gone, I got to
Reflecting on the many paths taken in life, feeling tired and unable to continue
Feeling like I can't go on and on
Feeling weary and unsure about continuing on the current path
Lord it seems, it gets so lonesome when
Acknowledging the loneliness that comes with chasing one's dreams
You're following dreams
Pursuing one's goals and aspirations
And why was I on that road, where
Questioning the reason for being on a certain path
The angels fear, like a fool I chose
Choosing a path that others might shy away from due to fear
To give a stranger a ride in the night,
Making a bold move by giving a stranger a ride at night
He said, "heh listen here darling, I'll
The stranger tried to impart some wisdom
Open your eyes"
Encouraging the artist to gain new perspectives
Better not give up until you drop.
Encouraging perseverance despite difficulties
There's a time to live, there's a time to die
Acknowledging the inevitability of death and the importance of living fully in the meantime
My friend Jack said, he'd tell me why.
Recalling the words of a friend who had valuable life advice
He had a key to survival, to dream of a better time,
Jack had a mindset that helped him get through tough times and hold onto hope
And boy, joy is a thing of the past
Recognizing that past happiness may not be easily regained
You gotta believe in the future or you won't last
It's essential to hold onto hope and believe in a better future
Oh I believe, I believe in love
Having faith in the power of love
Oh I believe in the lord above
Believing in a higher power
Oh I believe in a better life for
Holding onto the hope for a better future for oneself and others
Well, the next day he was gone, was he dead
Thinking back to the disappearance of the friend and wondering if he had died
Or had he up and run,
Considering if the friend had simply left of his own accord
And talk with him all his hopes and his dreams
Thinking about conversations with the friend and the hopes and dreams they shared
Me I was left with my nightmares and screams
Feeling haunted by the past and the friend's disappearance
Well I made it back from that bloody war,
Reflecting on surviving a traumatic event such as war
My future what had it all been for
Questioning the purpose of one's experiences and choices
No heroes welcome and my woman had left.
Feeling disappointed that there was no recognition or appreciation for one's sacrifices, and mourning the loss of a romantic partner
See my name is Jack in case you hadn't guess
Revealing the singer's name
So little lady when your feeling lost
Addressing someone who is feeling lost
Remember old Jack, remember the cost
Recalling the friend's words of wisdom and sacrifices made
So you got no shoes and you wail and weep
Acknowledging that someone may be going through a tough time, including the loss of material possessions and emotional pain
But remember there's a guy who ain't got no feet
Reminding the listener that there are those who are going through even tougher situations and that perspective is important

This is beautiful. If it's OK I'd like to contribute my poem in hopes those suffering from the grief of a lost loved one might find a bit of comfort in our works. Thank you for this video.
Poem For A Lost Friend
by Zidders
Sometimes it seems hard
when time passes by.
We get battered and scarred
and hear our souls sigh.
The smiles seem rare,
laughter non-existent.
The stuffiness of air
can be too persistent.
Sometimes when we're lowest
and feel all alone
we face the true tests.
The ones least condoned.
Sometimes in those moments
when we most despair
we find those proponents
who truly care.
Maybe they can't say it
for whatever the reason
but they sure display it.
Like a changing of seasons.
They touch us so deeply.
Help reforge our hearts.
Take those that are weakly
and help give new starts.
When we lose them we languish.
We feel oh so broken.
The ones we would hang with,
their words now unspoken.
Yet if you listen
and look to the sky
their words aren't missing
because they died.
They're the whispering breeze.
The swift river flowing.
They're the next hug and squeeze.
The next heart you're knowing.
They're the kiss from the sun
and the grass on the ground.
They're the laughter and fun.
The new friendship you've found.
They're never that distant.
They're in the love that you show.
Their spirit's persistent
in each ebb and each flow.
So to their memory stay true
for though they must part
their love surrounds you
If you keep them at heart.

This video actually made me cry for the first time in quite a while.
It is very rare to see me cry on the outside like I did when I first saw the video (streaming tears), but every once in a very long while something comes and hits my emotional side.
Which made me realize that I became numb to a lot of events like this just like everyone over time, as I shunted these off to my philosophical part of my mind to be analyzed. I didn't think these as deaths in a emotional sense, but in a cold calculating one that took events in numbers, not in value.
And this video made me realize that I am still human, so a quick thought before I post this:
Why did pinkie pie smile?
Why did she smile in the face of death to make one filly happy for the moment, even though she knew they both would be sad when they would part later?
The answer is that they would be sad later.

Reminds me when I was in the hospital and my parents gave me a pinkie pie plushie with a nurse hat. I still have it on my bed table. It was a very hurtful week for me and my family. We were poor at the time, and me being at the hospital didn't make it any better. Pinkie Pie helped me a lot. She calmed me down when I had to get shots or when I had a seizure. My mom thinks pinkie is a guardian angel for me. She might be. I always take her when I have to go for check ups. To see if my problem is clearing up. Every time I do, it goes away a tiny bit. Which is good from what the doctors say. Heheh, I don't care if I get made fun of because I like MLP. I know that one of them helped me in life.
