Lyrics
Don't be sad, my friends
Encouraging friends not to be sad.
That's the last thing I'd say
Assuring that expressing sadness is not the speaker's intention.
Don't be sad, my friends
Repeating the encouragement for friends not to be sad.
That's the last thing you'll hear me say
Emphasizing that sadness won't be a recurring theme in the speaker's words.
If you're sad, my friends
Questioning the necessity of taking away friends' sadness.
Why would I take that away?
Expressing reluctance to deprive friends of their sadness.
Well, we could pretend
Suggesting the option to pretend that the situation is not as dire as it seems.
That it's not as bad as they say
Acknowledging the prevalent negative perception but proposing a different perspective.
And though there is good and evil
Recognizing the existence of both good and evil in a constant struggle.
Locked in that eternal embrace
Describing the perpetual conflict between good and evil.
Well, things are bad, my friends
Acknowledging that things are difficult for friends.
And you feel exactly the way
Recognizing the genuine emotions experienced by friends.
That proves the mettle of your heart
Positing that the depth of emotions reflects the strength of one's character.
That won't be undermined
Asserting that the strength of one's heart will not be diminished.
By the overwhelming times
Recognizing the challenges posed by overwhelming times.
Holding out but not holding in
Striking a balance between facing challenges and not suppressing emotions.
And it's from here
Indicating a starting point for genuine progress and change.
We can really begin
Emphasizing that true growth can begin from the current state.
