Irish Goodbye
Unraveling the Mystery: Weatherless' 'Irish Goodbye' Meaning
Lyrics
I want to know
The speaker expresses a desire for understanding.
Why I can't figure it out
Frustration is conveyed about the difficulty in comprehending something.
On my own
The speaker acknowledges a struggle to navigate the situation independently.
It's not that hard
An assertion that the situation is not inherently complex.
Until it falls apart
A recognition that things become challenging when they break or fail.
I thought I saw you there
The speaker thought they observed someone in a particular place.
Maybe you're in my head
Suggestion that the person may exist only in the speaker's thoughts or imagination.
With every moment passing
Reflection on the passage of time and the enduring nature of a presence.
The presence everlasting from your wake
The lasting impact of the person is emphasized, possibly after their departure.
And I guess
An acknowledgment of the importance of a positive response (saying "yes").
It's more important when you say yes
Stressing the significance of affirmation or agreement.
And I guess
A repetition of the emphasis on the importance of a positive response.
I'll tell you how I feel someday
The speaker intends to express their feelings at some point in the future.
I thought I saw you there
A recurrence of the speaker thinking they saw someone in a particular place.
Maybe you're in my head
Reiteration that the person might only exist in the speaker's thoughts.
With every moment passing
Revisiting the theme of time passing and the enduring impact of a presence.
The presence everlasting from your wake
Continuation of emphasizing the lasting influence of the person after they are gone.
Your wake
Repetition of the concept of the person's impact or presence.
Your wake
Further emphasis on the enduring nature of the person's impact.
Your wake
Continued stress on the lasting influence or impression left by the person.
Your wake
Reiteration of the enduring impact or legacy of the person.
