Friends
Navigating Goodbyes and Welcoming New Beginnings
Lyrics
Goodbye old friend, the worst is over
Expressing farewell to an old friend, indicating that the difficult times have passed.
The fury's faded and fighting's done
The intense anger or hostility has diminished, and conflicts have ceased.
We reached the end, found it together
They've reached the conclusion or endpoint together, symbolizing unity or shared experiences.
Now and forever this song is sung
Emphasizing the enduring nature of their connection, signifying a lasting bond.
You were almost the end of me
Refers to the friend being a source of significant challenge or difficulty.
But I learned to breathe under the sea
Despite the challenges, the singer has learned to cope or survive in difficult situations.
Now I watch the waves from down below
Observing life's ups and downs from a detached perspective, possibly referring to moving on from the past.
And I wish them well before they do
Wishing the best for the friend's journey before parting ways.
My wish for you is just the same
Expressing the same wish for the friend's well-being despite the end of their close relationship.
Though I'll never crash your shore again
Acknowledging the impossibility of returning to the closeness they once shared.
Good journey, safe travels to you
Wishing the friend a good journey and safety in their future endeavors.
Weather each storm passing through
Encouraging the friend to endure and withstand challenges that come their way.
And may only your ocean be blue
Wishing for a serene and trouble-free existence for the friend.
Hello new friend, your eyes a mystery
Greeting a new friend, highlighting the mystery and novelty in their relationship.
No painful history, just wonders to behold
Emphasizing the absence of painful past experiences, portraying excitement for the unknown.
Your kindness to me feels sweet and foreign
Appreciating the new friend's kindness, which feels unfamiliar and comforting.
Your heart imploring mine to come in from the cold
Expressing the new friend's invitation to the singer to open up emotionally.
But be forewarned friend, there's a hurt inside me
Cautioning the new friend about the singer's hidden emotional pain or past traumas.
And it comes out swinging when held up to the light
Admitting that the singer reacts defensively or aggressively when their vulnerabilities are exposed.
I won't pretend I'm something perfect
Refusing to portray oneself as flawless, acknowledging past mistakes.
I've destroyed some precious things I so wanted to make right
Admitting responsibility for damaging things that were significant and valued.
Good journey, safe travels to you
Repeating the wish for the new friend's safe journey and well-being.
Weather each storm passing through
Encouraging the new friend to face and endure life's challenges.
And may only your ocean be blue
Wishing for tranquility and calmness in the new friend's life.
