Bye Forever
Fool's Journey: Breaking Free from Illusions
Lyrics
A god-damn fool I've been
Acknowledging foolishness in past actions
Talking into this little thing
Expressing thoughts or regrets through communication
Pretending that I am man
Pretending to be a mature individual
When I'm just a little boy
Admitting inner vulnerability and immaturity
What a god-damn fool I've been
Reiterating a sense of foolishness
Leaving notes on neighbor's door
Leaving messages on neighbors' doors, possibly seeking connection
Pretending they know me
Pretending familiarity with others who don't truly know the speaker
They never met me
Highlighting the lack of genuine connections
And I think I can restart
Expressing a desire for a fresh start
But at such an ugly age
Acknowledging an unattractive phase in life
How do I pretend
Questioning how to pretend in difficult circumstances
That I'm no Pinocchio
Comparing oneself to Pinocchio, suggesting falsehood
When I don't know a thing
Admitting a lack of knowledge
And they expect me to have a few tricks up my sleeve
Feeling pressure to perform and impress others
What a god-damn fool I've been
Repeating the realization of past foolishness
I don't see it changing
Doubting the possibility of positive change
I don't see it getting any better
Skepticism about improvement
Cause I've tried it all
Trying various approaches to self-improvement
Baby steps and the overhaul
Attempts at personal development, with little success
But nothing ever sticks
Failure to make lasting changes
And after all this time I know
Reflecting on the passage of time
The only hard thing I've done is
Identifying saying goodbye as the most challenging experience
Say goodbye to you forever
Expressing a permanent farewell
Forever, forever
Reiterating the finality of the goodbye
It's the only hard thing I've ever done
Stating the difficulty of parting
And I could grind my teeth in this dark apartment
Expressing potential frustration or stress
I could close it all off and turn into a kermit
Contemplating isolation and withdrawal
Or is it hermit
Playfully questioning word choice ("kermit" or "hermit")
What's it matter no one's gonna hear this
Indicating a lack of concern for others' opinions
And I cracked a bottle of wine
Opening a bottle of wine and consuming it alone
Now it's empty
Emptying the bottle, perhaps symbolizing loneliness
I wish I had company but I don't
Expressing a desire for company that is unfulfilled
And if I use these lyrics at least
Finding value in expressing emotions through lyrics
This whole night will feel worth it
Reflecting on the worth of the emotional experience
I guess it was worth it but still
Acknowledging the worth but still feeling conflicted
The only hard thing I've done is
Reiterating the difficulty of saying goodbye
Say goodbye to you forever
Repeating the theme of a permanent farewell
Forever, forever
Emphasizing the everlasting nature of the goodbye
That's the only hard thing I've ever done
Reiterating the challenging nature of the farewell
That's the only hard thing I've ever done
Affirming that saying goodbye is the most difficult experience
