Goodbye To You
Zox Lyrics

The song "Goodbye to You" by Zox is a heartfelt ode to the pain of lost love. The opening lines, "Broken down in paradise, I'm heavy like I'm hypnotized," speak to the singer's sense of despair and disillusionment. The use of the word "paradise" suggests that the relationship was once a source of joy and pleasure, but that it has since crumbled into something painful and difficult. The reference to feeling hypnotized implies a sense of powerlessness, as though the singer is unable to escape the grip of their emotions.

The song continues with a series of powerful images and metaphors that vividly convey the singer's sense of loss. The line "The sheep are all asleep by now" suggests a sense of isolation and loneliness, while the reference to holding one's breath until turning blue speaks to the suffocating sense of despair that can come with a broken heart. The chorus, in which the singer says "You know I hate to say goodbye to you, but goodbye to you's the only thing it feels like I can say," is a poignant expression of the difficulty of letting go of someone you still care for deeply.

The second verse picks up on this theme, with the singer acknowledging that "Absence makes the heart so fond." However, the return of the lost love has not brought the singer the happiness they had hoped for. Instead, they describe being "paralyzed" by their emotions and haunted by memories of the past. Once again, the chorus serves as the emotional center of the song, with its bittersweet mix of sadness and resignation.
