One More Goodbye
Echoes of Love Lost: Violetta Zironi's 'One More Goodbye' Meaning
Lyrics
ONE MORE GOODBYE
Expressing the theme of saying farewell once again.
You open my eyes just like curtains
Someone or something is helping the speaker see clearly.
Let loose the flood i've been keeping inside
Releasing emotions that have been held back.
All my life I've been searching for something
A lifelong quest for something enduring and secure.
That wouldn't just shatter or slip from my hands
The speaker seeks stability, fearing loss or breakage.
And if all of our futures are certain
Questioning the certainty of future outcomes.
Then read me the lines on my palm one more time
Asking for reassurance through palmistry, a metaphor for guidance.
So tell me what happens next
Curiosity about the unfolding events.
Something I don't expect
Anticipating the unexpected.
I don't believe you when you said
Doubting a statement or promise made by someone.
We don't have a choice in the way that this ends
Accepting the lack of control over the conclusion.
So take all this wasted time
Reflecting on time invested without desired outcomes.
Leave me with my regrets
Being left with feelings of remorse or sorrow.
If nothing I say can change your mind
Realizing inability to change someone's decision.
Then all I ask for is one more goodbye
Requesting one final farewell.
All that was bright casts a shadow
Past happiness now overshadowed by sorrow.
Once lifted me up now's a weight round my heart
A burden or emotional weight replacing former joy.
And this ocean we sailed on grows shallow
The relationship or situation losing its depth.
I don't think that we were hopeless from the start
Rejecting the notion that hopelessness was inevitable.
When you saw the surprise in my eyes
Recalling a moment of surprise and realization.
How could you have thought I would feel the same way
Expressing disbelief at the assumption of shared feelings.
So tell me what happens next
Continued curiosity about unfolding events.
Something I don't expect
Expecting the unexpected once again.
I don't believe you when you said
Reiterating skepticism about a previous statement.
We don't have a choice in the way that this ends
Acceptance of lack of control over the ending.
So take all this wasted time
Acknowledging time spent without impact.
Leave me with my regrets
Being left with lingering feelings of regret.
If nothing I say can change your mind
Recognizing the inability to alter someone's decision.
Then all I ask for is one more goodbye
Requesting a final farewell, emphasizing the inevitability.
