Lyrics
Goodbye
Expressing farewell or parting.
This is the last time
Indicates that this is the final occasion.
The last time
Reiterates the finality of the meeting.
That we'll meet
Acknowledges that their encounter is concluding.
Bloodied and beaten by the side of the road
Describes a state of physical harm and defeat on the side of the road.
And you tell yourself that you don't know who I am
Suggests a disconnect between the persona's true identity and the observer's perception.
But who I am is not what you see
Highlights fear or reluctance to hear the persona's true self.
You're scared to hear my voice
Implies a reluctance to engage with the persona's thoughts or opinions.
Do you know how it feels
Poses a question about understanding the emotions or experiences of the persona.
To be the one, the one
Being in the position of judging others.
To judge you
Expresses the difficulty of being the one to pass judgment.
And you try and you try and you try and you try
Repetition emphasizes persistent effort despite apparent futility.
But it ain't gonna cut it when you swore to uphold everything
Suggests a commitment to upholding certain principles despite challenges.
When it lies it's broken
When the commitment is broken or unfulfilled, leading to deception.
Am I blind now
Questions one's perceptiveness or awareness.
Can you show me how
Asking for guidance or clarification on the situation.
Am I to beg and plead and give everything to you
Potentially pleading for understanding or compassion.
It's cold again
Describes a cold emotional state or atmosphere.
I move my head down below to think about everyone
Turning attention inward to contemplate others.
Everyone going home
Reflection on others returning home.
And the night has turned to screaming
Describes a transition to a chaotic or distressing time.
It all begins to hurt
Physical or emotional pain intensifies.
Oh mother hear me say that I'm sorry for all I will do
Apologizing to a maternal figure for future actions.
No, don't make me a martyr
Rejecting the idea of becoming a martyr or symbol of hope.
Don't say I have hope
Expressing doubt about having hope.
'Cause all I have is pain for the ones who gave me a place to call home
Acknowledging pain for those who provided a sense of belonging.
All I ask is that you hold on
Requesting support or understanding during difficult times.
'Cause I've been dancing with you
Metaphorical dance with challenges or negativity.
The devil on my back
Acknowledging a challenging or tempting force.
I dare you to leave me
Challenging someone to leave, knowing there's no turning back.
You know you can't look back
Emphasizing the impossibility of reversing decisions.
So I'll say nothing to you
Choosing silence over communication.
Nothing at all
Stating a complete lack of communication.
Nothing but goodbye
A final farewell, acknowledging departure.
Am I blind now
Reiterating the question of perceptiveness or awareness.
Can you show me how
Seeking guidance or clarity.
Am I to beg and plead and give everything to you
Potentially pleading for understanding or compassion, repeated.
Oh, and that faith that's mine
Reflecting on a personal faith and its implications.
Is that my only crime
Questioning whether faith is the cause of the persona's troubles.
Well I'll stand, and I'll fall
Commitment to endure both success and failure.
Until I'm born again
Expressing a willingness to undergo a transformative experience.
