Lyrics
I'm in the Archipelago and I'm waiting to arrive.
I find myself in a state of uncertainty or transition (symbolized by the Archipelago) and await a resolution.
I'm in the Archipelago and I know I'm still alive.
I acknowledge my existence in this uncertain state, affirming my vitality.
You finally told me where you had been thinking for so long.
Someone has revealed their thoughts after keeping them concealed for a significant period.
And it breaks my heart wide open but I know that I'll be stronger next time.
The revelation is emotionally intense, causing heartbreak, but the speaker anticipates personal growth from the experience.
So goodbye my love,
A farewell to a loved one or a significant phase in life.
I'll miss it when it's gone.
Expressing a sense of nostalgia and sadness about the impending departure or conclusion.
Goodbye my love,
Continuation of the farewell sentiment, emphasizing the inevitability of change.
The ship is shipping on.
A metaphorical ship is moving forward, signifying the progression of time or events.
Goodbye my love,
Reiterating the farewell and expressing a willingness to let go.
I'll give it up into the fog.
The act of saying goodbye is described as dissipating into the unknown (fog).
Goodbye my love,
The departure is acknowledged, and there's recognition of personal awareness about the situation.
I think I knew it all along.
An understanding that the farewell was anticipated or known beforehand.
I'm in the Archipelago and I'm waiting to arrive.
Repetition of the initial situation, emphasizing the waiting and uncertainty in the Archipelago.
I'm in the Archipelago and I know I'm still alive.
Reaffirmation of vitality and existence amid the ongoing uncertainty.
You finally told me where you had been thinking for so long.
Reiteration of someone revealing long-hidden thoughts.
And it breaks my heart wide open but I know that I'll be stronger next time.
Despite the emotional pain, there is a belief in personal strength and growth in the future.
So goodbye my love,
Final farewell to a loved one or a phase, expressing a sense of loss.
I'll miss it when it's gone.
Acknowledgment of missing the departing element once it's no longer present.
Goodbye my love,
Reiteration of the ship metaphor, emphasizing the continuous progression of time or events.
The ship is shipping on.
Recognition that life moves forward, and farewells are a part of this continuous journey.
Goodbye my love,
Expressing the act of letting go into the uncertainty or unknown represented by the fog.
I'll give it up into the fog.
Repeating the willingness to part ways and accept the unknown future.
Goodbye my love,
Acknowledgment of prior awareness about the impending departure or change.
I think I knew it all along.
Reiteration of self-awareness and understanding throughout the farewell process.
I knew it all along.
A confident declaration that the speaker had known the outcome all along.
I knew it all along.
Reaffirmation that the speaker had a clear understanding of the situation from the beginning.
