Song Analysis
“Last Goodbye” is a song that deals with loss and heartbreak.
The entire song is permeated with a veil of melancholy, both instrumentally and vocally, with the vocals carrying various effects that make them sound, using a visual metaphor, as if we are dealing with a slightly crumpled piece of paper, symbolizing the pain of the breakage, yet maintaining the quality of the vocal timbre, melody, and the power intact, simultaneously enhancing the intense emotions of the lyrics.
In terms of instrumentation, it’s not surprising that the choice was made to use a simple and minimalist arrangement for a considerable portion of the song, only to intensify as the song progresses gradually, and along with it, the connected emotions gain greater impact.
A high-level performance both vocally and instrumentally, perfectly representing the heart-wrenching feeling of those separations where the heart seems to tear itself apart within the chest.
Lyrics
You cry, because you’re alone now
and i, walked away…
you let me go so easy –
no chance for me to stay.
Your love was nothing just illusion,
my heart feels deep confusion.
dreams die, give up on us
and saying: “bye”
love nothing just illusion, dreams die
just sorrow and confusion, last “good bye”
heart goes on, without you there’s no place to
me belong, last embrace,
you walked away from me and
I should now confess…
Your love was nothing just illusion,
my heart feels deep confusion.
dreams die, give up on us
and saying: “bye”
love nothing just illusion, dreams die
just sorrow and confusion, last “good bye”
in memories drawn, i’m all alone
last dance, last kiss i’ll always miss.
I’m dancing, crying in the rain,
my love’s destroyed by heartbreak pain
Your love was nothing just illusion,
my heart feels deep confusion.
dreams die, give up on us
and saying: “bye”
love nothing just illusion, dreams die
just sorrow and confusion, last “good bye”
