Goodbye
Farewell Reflections: Unveiling Memories in Joshua Woo's 'Goodbye'
Lyrics
Looking at photographs
Reflecting on past memories captured in photographs.
Pictures of faces that I
Faces in the pictures are unfamiliar or distant.
Can't quite place
Struggling to identify or remember certain faces.
We looked so close back then
Recalling a time when relationships were strong.
Hard to imagine that I'd
Hard to believe that the connection has faded.
Just forget
Facing the reality of forgetting significant moments.
I'm sure there were good times
Acknowledging both positive and negative experiences.
I'm sure there were bad times
Acknowledging a mix of good and bad times in the past.
I know
Expressing certainty about past experiences.
I know
Reiteration of certainty about past experiences.
But I can't go back just now
Feeling unable to revisit the past at the moment.
I can't go back there no more
Expressing the impossibility of returning to a specific time.
No more
Emphasizing the finality of not revisiting the past.
So goodbye
Saying farewell to someone or something.
So goodbye
Repeating the farewell sentiment for emphasis.
It was so nice to know you for a while
Expressing gratitude for the time spent together.
And the smile
Highlighting the impact of a smile in reminiscing.
On your face
Acknowledging the significance of a smile.
Says it all
Confirming that the smile tells the whole story.
The mind likes to trick you
Noting the tendency of the mind to deceive or mislead.
The mind likes to tell you that you're
Recognizing the mind's inclination to make one feel inadequate.
Not enough
Acknowledging feelings of inadequacy projected by the mind.
The mind likes to playback your life like a movie
Describing the mind replaying life events with a focus on flaws.
With only
Highlighting the mind's selective playback of life.
The faults
Emphasizing the tendency to focus on personal faults.
I'm sure there were good times
Repeating acknowledgment of positive and negative experiences.
I'm sure there were bad times
Reiterating the mixture of good and bad times in the past.
I know
Expressing certainty about past experiences.
I know
Reiteration of certainty about past experiences.
I can't go back just now
Feeling unable to revisit the past at the moment.
I can't go back there no more
Expressing the impossibility of returning to a specific time.
No more
Emphasizing the finality of not revisiting the past.
So goodbye
Saying farewell to someone or something.
So goodbye
Repeating the farewell sentiment for emphasis.
It was so nice to know you for a while
Expressing gratitude for the time spent together.
And the smile on your face
Highlighting the impact of a smile in reminiscing.
Says it all
Acknowledging the significance of a smile.
So goodbye
Saying farewell to someone or something.
So goodbye
Repeating the farewell sentiment for emphasis.
It was so nice to know you for a while
Expressing gratitude for the time spent together.
And the smile on your face
Highlighting the impact of a smile in reminiscing.
Says it all
Acknowledging the significance of a smile.
Says it all
Emphasizing that the smile reveals everything.
Says it all
Reiteration that the smile holds complete significance.
