I think this song is about a girls transition of her love-life. The singer's age is never given, but it could be assumed that she is at the very least 18 during the first stanza. She is having yet another breakup with an unsuccessful relationship. The relationship was unhealthy and counter-productive and she is so relieved to be free from it that she feels no remorse ending it. Some time later, the singer is in another relationship. Although the relationship seems to be particularly healthy, the singer seems dissatisfied and is craving for someone who is not who she is currently with. She was yearning to fly, so to speak. Because of her superficial nature, she dumps him which causes heartbreak for him. Some time later still, our superficial singer is at yet another relationship, perhaps with the man of her dreams. It is interesting to point out that this is the only stanza that has "he says" adios without she saying adios. This implies that, perhaps for the first time ever, she has been rejected by him. Time passes by yet again and our heroine is perhaps now too old to worry about such trivial things as puppy love. She is certainly hopeful, however she is no longer desperate and determines that she will no longer say goodbye to anyone. Or it's about a relationship where she actually literally dies. Whichever makes more sense to you. lol |
