Kiss Goodbye
Embracing Tomorrow: Andrew Vroomans' Poetic Journey Through Loss and Renewal
Lyrics
Hey you, with the sad face
Addressing someone with a sad expression
You've lost the reason to smile
Noticing a loss of reason for smiling
You fell into an unsettling place
Describing the person's current emotional state as unsettling
Now you're stuck for awhile
Indicating the person is stuck in this state for a while
Hey you, with the teary eyes
Addressing someone with teary eyes
I know that you lost your nerve
Acknowledging the loss of courage or confidence
You've gotten a dark surprise
Referring to a surprising and dark turn of events
And there's just no words
Expressing the difficulty in finding words to convey the situation
It's so undeserved
Stating that the circumstances are undeserved
You were used to a life
Highlighting the person's previous accustomed life
Days of freedom and sunny blue skies
Describing the past with freedom and sunny skies
Half of the love that you've known
Noting a loss of half the love previously known
It has dissolved into being your own
Explaining that the remaining love has become self-directed
Being your own, being your own
Emphasizing the individuality of the person
You feel on your own
Expressing a feeling of being on one's own
But you're not alone
Reassuring that the person is not truly alone
You're not alone, not alone
Emphasizing the support and companionship present
Hey you, blue eyes
Addressing someone with blue eyes
You have so much to look forward to
Encouraging optimism about the future
I know everything's turned around
Acknowledging a reversal of circumstances
There was nothing you could do
Stating that the individual had no control over the situation
But it's still all true
Affirming the truth of the current state
You once knew of a life
Recalling a previous life with knowledge and freedom
Days of freedom and Mr. Blue Sky
Referencing the loss of a bright and positive environment
The desolate loss makes you cry
Describing the emotional impact of desolate loss
But her love remains in your heart, kiss goodbye
Mentioning the enduring presence of love despite the loss
Goodbye
Saying farewell
Kiss goodbye, it's alright
Reassuring that saying goodbye is acceptable
Goodbye
Repeating the farewell sentiment
Blackbird, fly
Using the metaphor of a blackbird flying, possibly representing freedom or change
Goodbye...
Repeating the farewell
Goodbye...
-Goodbye...
