Long Goodbye
Eternal Farewell: Unraveling the Depths of Heartbreak
Lyrics
Started seeing things for what they are
Realizing the truth of situations
This cannot be what I need
Feeling that what's present isn’t fulfilling
Yet you dance around in my mind
Memories of the person persistently occupy thoughts
As it gets harder to breathe
Feeling suffocated or overwhelmed
I could have never seen it going this far
Surprised by how deep things have gone
Steeped into my life
Inserted deeply into one's life
There is no escape
Feeling trapped without an exit
Keeping up the game where we pretend
Continuing a facade or false reality
We have to stay away
Needing to maintain distance despite pretending
This is speeding out of control
Situation spiraling out of control
You pulled the wheel just to change direction
Someone changed the course of events
Now only one of us makes it home
Implying only one survives the situation
Give me a long goodbye
Requesting a prolonged farewell
You’re free
Releasing the other person
I’ve let you go tonight
Accepting the separation
This cannot be what you need
Understanding the other's needs are different
Looking back to what we used to have
Reflecting on a lost ideal past
Is now a fantasy
Recognizing the past as unrealistic now
I knew this wasn’t the end
Feeling there’s more to come despite an ending
There had to be more
Believing there's something beyond the current state
You’re out for blood
Sensing hostility or aggression
This can never end until one of us is dead
Implying the conflict won't resolve without severe consequences
This is speeding out of control
Situation out of control, repeating the theme
You pulled the wheel just to change direction
Another shift in direction influenced by someone
Now only one of us makes it home
Only one will survive the conflict
Give me a long goodbye
Reiterating the desire for a prolonged farewell
Been fixin’ this far to long
Struggling for a long time to fix things
Can’t figure you out
Unable to comprehend the other person's motives
Now I’m done
Announcing the end of trying to understand
This time
Highlighting finality
A
Emphasizing the extended nature of the goodbye
Long
-Goodbye
-This is speeding out of control
Repeating the idea of a situation spinning out of control
Give me a long goodbye
Requesting a prolonged farewell
This is the last time
Declaring this as the ultimate end
This is the last time
-This is speeding out of control
Reiterating the situation's uncontrollable nature
You pulled the wheel just to get attention
Someone altering events for attention
Now only one of us makes it home
Again, only one survives the altered outcome
Give me a long goodbye
Requesting a prolonged farewell
This is speeding out of control
Reaffirming the situation's uncontrollable nature
You pulled the wheel just to change direction
Another shift due to someone's actions
Now only one of us makes it home
Only one prevails in the altered situation
Give me a long goodbye
Reiterating the desire for a prolonged farewell
Now I’m done
Accepting finality or conclusion
