Wave Myself Goodbye
Echoes of Longing: Rory Gallagher's Emotional Journey in 'Wave Myself Goodbye'
Lyrics
Well I don't know anymore
Expressing uncertainty and confusion about the current situation or feelings.
I don't know why I feel so sore
Feeling physical or emotional pain without a clear understanding of its cause.
I only know I love you more
Affirmation of deepening love despite the overall confusion and pain.
I feel so blue I think I'll wave myself goodbye
Intending to leave or say goodbye due to intense feelings of sadness (feeling blue).
The people say you fade away
Others perceive a gradual disappearance, perhaps emotionally or physically.
From my mind you wouldn't stay
Despite efforts, the person being addressed doesn't stay in the speaker's thoughts.
But you get stronger there everyday
Contrastingly, the memory of the person grows stronger every day.
You know I feel so alone I think I'll wave myself goodbye
Feeling a deep sense of loneliness, prompting the desire to say goodbye.
This time next time it's all the same
Reflecting on the cyclical nature of experiences, suggesting a repetitive pattern.
I'll just go on playin a losin game
Continuing to engage in a losing or futile endeavor.
Until one day baby I'll even forget your name
Anticipating a future where memories fade, including the person's name.
Someday someday
Expressing the hope or inevitability of a future change or resolution.
It takes a fool too long to see
Acknowledging one's own foolishness or lack of insight.
can't make out the wood for the trees
Unable to see the true nature of a situation, possibly due to emotional blindness.
I must have been blind as I could be
Admitting a past lack of awareness or understanding.
But now I feel so blue I think I'll wave myself goodbye
Reiterating the decision to say goodbye due to the prevailing sadness.
Well I don't know anymore
Repeating the sense of confusion and not knowing the situation.
I've lost you for sure
Certainty of losing the person being addressed.
I only know I want you more
Expressing a strong desire for the person despite the impending loss.
I feel so blue I think I'll wave myself goodbye
Reiterating the decision to say goodbye, emphasizing the emotional state.
