Say Goodbye
arlekēno Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When I haven’t even said hello yet
You’re my distant treasure, my corrosive pleasure
My solace
We don’t even have to try
We are evergreen entirely frozen
I take every measure to ensure we treasure
Our moments
I say goodbye, when the lights go out
I say goodbye, when the lights go out
I say goodbye, when the lights go
I just wanna say goodbye, when the lights go out
I say goodbye, when the lights go out
Say goodbye, when the lights go out
I say goodbye, when the lights go
I just wanna say goodbye, say goodbye
Say good, say good, say goodbye
Say goodbye, say goodbye
Say good, say goodbye, I just wanna
Say goodbye, say goodbye
Say good, say good, say goodbye
Say goodbye, bye bye bye
Say good, say goodbye
I just wanna say goodbye, say goodbye
Say good, say good, say goodbye
Say goodbye, say goodbye
Say good, say goodbye, I just wanna
Say goodbye, say goodbye
Say good, say good, say goodbye
Say goodbye, say goodbye
Say good, say goodbye
My vein of philosophy
Thought I’d have nothing to brag with
This is poisoning you, secretly killing you
Our romance
Utterly twisting my mind
With you it’s hard to reside
Cause I have to find you, to defy the odds
And I will fight through
I just wanna say goodbye, when the lights go out
I say goodbye, when the lights go out
I say goodbye, when the lights go
I say goodbye, when the lights go
Say goodbye, when the lights go out
Lights go out
I say goodbye, when the lights go out
I say goodbye, when the lights go out
I just wanna say goodbye, say goodbye
Say good, say good, say goodbye
Say goodbye, say goodbye
Say good, say good, I just wanna
Say goodbye, say goodbye
Say good, say good, say goodbye
Say goodbye, say goodbye
Say good, say good, say good

The lyric seems to refer to the idea that the singer wants to end the relationship but doesn't want to have to face the other person directly. The use of the words "lights go out" makes the goodbye seem both symbolic and literal, as if it's the end of an era but also the end of a night out together.

I don’t wanna say goodbye
I am not ready to end things
When I haven’t even said hello yet
We haven't even started yet
You’re my distant treasure, my corrosive pleasure
You are someone I love but can't have for long and it's killing me
My solace
You bring me comfort
We don’t even have to try
Our love is effortless
We are evergreen entirely frozen
Our love is timeless and unchanging
I take every measure to ensure we treasure
I value every moment we spend together
Our moments
The time we spend together
I just wanna say goodbye, when the lights go out
I want to end things before it's too late
Say goodbye, when the lights go out
End things when it's time
Say goodbye, bye bye bye
I have to let you go
My vein of philosophy
My beliefs and principles
Thought I’d have nothing to brag with
I thought I had everything figured out
This is poisoning you, secretly killing you
Our relationship is not healthy for you
Our romance
Our relationship
Utterly twisting my mind
You are affecting my mental state
With you it’s hard to reside
Being with you is constantly challenging
Cause I have to find you, to defy the odds
I am willing to do whatever it takes to make this work
And I will fight through
I am determined to make this work
Lights go out
The end is near
Say good, say good, say goodbye
It's time to end things
Say good, say goodbye
End things and move on
Say good, say good, I just wanna
I just want to end things
Say good, say good, say good
It's time to say goodbye

Finde die Melodie, Takt und auch die Stimmen ( auch wenn sie durchaus verzehrt sind) echt stimmig, doch die vielen unterschiedlichen Songabschnitte mit unterschiedlichen Bässen und Stimmenverzehrungen finde ich fast eher zu flippig und machen den Song eher unrund. 7/10 Punkte meiner Meinung nach.
