This introspective piece delves into the artist's struggles with mental health, isolation, and the pressures of fame. Burnham grapples with his fading enthusiasm for performance and a growing desire for solitude, evident in lines like "I promise to never go outside again". He also questions his sanity, hinting at a possible existential crisis. The song is a poignant commentary on the toll that public scrutiny can take on an individual's mental well-being. It ends on a note of surrender and acceptance of his situation, symbolizing his retreat from public life. #MentalHealth #FamePressure
Goodbye
Lyrics
So long, goodbye
I'll see you when I see you
You can pick the street
I'll meet you on the other side
So long, goodbye
Do I really have to finish?
Do returns always diminish?
Did I say that right?
Does anybody want to joke when no one's laughing in the background?
So this is how it ends
I promise to never go outside again
So long, bye!
I'm slowly losing power
Has it only been an hour?
No, that can't be right
So long, goodbye
Hey, here's a fun idea
How 'bout I sit on the couch and I watch you next time?
I wanna hear you tell a joke when no one's laughing in the background
So this is how it ends
I promise to never go outside again
Am I going crazy?
Would I even know?
Am I right back where I started fourteen years ago?
Wanna guess the ending? If it ever does
I swear to God that all I've ever wanted was
A little bit of everything, all of the time
A bit of everything, all of the time
Apathy's a tragedy, and boredom is a crime
I'm finished playing, and I'm staying inside
If I wake up in a house that's full of smoke
I'll panic, so call me up and tell me a joke
When I'm fully irrelevant and totally broken, damn it
Call me up and tell me a joke
Oh, shit, you're really joking at a time like this?
Well, well, look who's inside again
Went out to look for a reason to hide again
Well, well, buddy, you found it
Now come out with your hands up
We've got you surrounded
