Farewell to City Lights: Elle's Journey Beyond L.A.
Lyrics
She left L.A. with a song in her head
Elle left Los Angeles with a song playing in her mind
Elle left L.A. and off she went
Elle departed from Los Angeles and embarked on a journey
She left for the city with the stars in her eyes
She left for the city with aspirations and dreams
Elle left L.A. and she doesn't know why
Elle left Los Angeles without a clear reason
So she's moving on
She is progressing and moving forward in her life
By the time I write this song
At the time of writing this song, she is already on her way
She'll be gone
She will have left by the time this song is written
The kids all cried 'cuz they don't understand
Children are upset because they cannot comprehend her departure
Elle left L.A. this was never the plan
Elle's departure from Los Angeles was not part of the original plan
She's hoping for a life living out there on the road
She anticipates a life on the road, seeking new experiences
She was hoping for something new 'cuz she was growing old
She desired something new as she felt the effects of aging
So she's moving on
Continuing her journey and leaving her past behind
By the time I write this song
At the time of composing this song, she will have moved on
She'll be gone
She will be absent by the time this song is completed
Goodbye L.A.
Repeated farewell to Los Angeles, expressing finality
Goodbye L.A.
-Goodbye L.A.
-Goodbye L.A.
-She packed her bags and she wrote this note
Elle packed her belongings and left a note
Now she's gone
Reiteration of her departure, emphasizing her absence
Now she's gone
-She made her way while I wrote this song
-Now she's gone
-Now she's gone
-Oh
Expressing emotion or emphasis on the farewell
Oh
-Goodbye L.A.
Repeating the goodbye to Los Angeles, reinforcing the departure
Goodbye L.A.
-Goodbye L.A.
-Goodbye L.A.
-I want to believe in you
An expression of a desire to believe in something related to the departure
Goodbye L.A.
Repeating the goodbye, possibly expressing a struggle with belief or acceptance
I want to believe in you
-Goodbye L.A.
-Goodbye L.A.
Final farewell to Los Angeles
