One Long Goodbye
A Mystical Journey of Goodbyes: Matt Suarez's Melodic Reflections
Lyrics
Beaten on the doorstep of the anchors we set down
Facing challenges at the starting point of our established foundations.
Waiting on the road to come and take us somewhere now
Anticipating a journey on the road that leads to an unknown destination.
To a place that we've been before and some we'd like to hide
Referring to both familiar and uncomfortable places, suggesting a mix of experiences.
Because You know the road is just one long goodbye
Expressing that life's journey is essentially a continuous series of farewells.
Goodbye to the ones we love and the ones we set out for
Bidding farewell to both cherished individuals and the aspirations we pursue.
To the travelers and the wonderers and the ones that came before
Acknowledging and honoring past explorers and dreamers.
Is it a mystical journey or just a mystery ride
Questioning whether life's journey is spiritually profound or simply a perplexing adventure.
Because you know the road is just one long goodbye
Reiterating the theme that life's path is an extended series of goodbyes.
You know I'll wait for that train to come
Expressing patience in waiting for significant life events, symbolized by a train.
But if it don't, well I'll be gone
Acceptance of potential outcomes, including departure if the expected event does not occur.
Taking all the messages and stories I've been told
Collecting and internalizing messages and narratives encountered in life.
Put em in a box with all the things that I can't hold
Compartmentalizing intangible aspects of life and emotions.
I try to carry them with me in the back pockets of my mind
Attempting to carry memories and experiences in the recesses of the mind.
Because you know the road is just one long goodbye
Reaffirming the overarching theme that life is a continuous series of goodbyes.
You know I'll wait for that train to come
Repetition of the willingness to wait for significant life events.
But if it don't, well I'll be gone
Reiteration of acceptance of potential departure if awaited event does not occur.
You know I'll wait for that train to come
Continued expression of patience and anticipation for awaited life events.
But if it don't, well I'll be gone
Restating acceptance of potential departure in case of unmet expectations.
I'll be gone
Affirmation of the inevitability of departure or change.
I'll be gone
Reiteration of the acknowledgment of an impending departure or transition.
I'll be gone
Final emphasis on the certainty of departure or moving on.
