Goodbye, Oh Goodbye Lyrics
I was throttled to the ground
I was locked inside a basement
The guards went on vacation while I plotted my revolt
I was tired and confused
Doesn't look like that is changing
I'm a hallucination of myself at three years old
Goodbye, oh goodbye [x2]
You were perched atop my shoulder
You were pecking at my head
And if I had a hole to crawl in I would be there and be dead
You were spilling all my will out
I was bleeding my last brains
It's nothing like the nothingness that normally knows one's pain
Goodbye, oh goodbye
Goodbye, oh goodbye-ahye~ahye~ahye~ahye~ahye~ahye~ahye~ahye!!
Seventh grade was hard enough
Someone thought that the knew me
If I stay in bed long enough
They'll go to church without me
If I move away enough
They won't outrun me
Goodbye, oh goodbye
Oh goodbye [x7]
Oh goodbye!
I was locked inside a basement
The guards went on vacation while I plotted my revolt
I was tired and confused
Doesn't look like that is changing
I'm a hallucination of myself at three years old
You were pecking at my head
And if I had a hole to crawl in I would be there and be dead
You were spilling all my will out
I was bleeding my last brains
It's nothing like the nothingness that normally knows one's pain
Goodbye, oh goodbye-ahye~ahye~ahye~ahye~ahye~ahye~ahye~ahye!!
Someone thought that the knew me
If I stay in bed long enough
They'll go to church without me
If I move away enough
They won't outrun me
Oh goodbye [x7]
Oh goodbye!

this song definitely reads as being about child abuse at the hands of a parent to me, and feeling stuck with the person that's hurting you. specifically the acting out and avoidance that comes with child abuse
