Goodbye Forever Lyrics

Did you say the thing you wanted?
Have you ever felt in love?
A moment where no problems would ever get you down
Free as an eagle but only for a day (yeah listen)

The final is a warning, wake up before you go
There’ll be no second chances, that day you’re on your own
Let out the feelings, tomorrow may not come

All alone in the dark, move the curtains for once
See the light life has brought, or goodbye forever
Take the arms that embrace, no more being afraid
Feel the sun on your face, or goodbye forever

Were you listening to the evening?
Have you ever felt the dawn?
When everything around you told stories from the world
Dear mother nature speaks louder than you know
(oh listen)

The final is a warning, Wake up before you go
There’ll be no second chances, that day you’re on your own
Let out the feelings tomorrow may not come

All alone in the dark, move the curtains for once
See the light life has brought, or goodbye forever
Take the arms that embrace, no more being afraid
Feel the sun on your face, or goodbye forever

We are the birth
We are the end
We are the souls
We have a name
We are the rising and fallen ones
We are the spirit forever more

Cover art for Goodbye Forever lyrics by Volbeat

This song features the Harlem Gospel Choir. Guitarist Rob Caggiano talked about their decision to work with a gospel choir: "It's the first time the band has done anything like that, but it's still a straight-up Volbeat song. It almost has a – dare I say it – Mumford & Sons kind of vibe to it. I was definitely a late bloomer on that band and I didn't like them for a while – I think I even tweeted once about how all their songs sound like Dukes Of Hazard car chases. But now I actually think they're amazing and I love everything that they do. Michael (Poulsen) is really into them as well, so I think they might have rubbed off on us a little bit on this song."

Lyrically, the track is an exploration of the importance of seizing the present moment, embracing life, and overcoming fear. The song encourages us to appreciate the beauty and opportunities that life has to offer, as well as to recognize the fleeting nature of time.
