Our song:
A goodbye to remember
Turn around
Say it loud.
Face the rhythm of the night to say goodbye.
Take your time to think about all the things we shared while watching the stars.
You may leave, but I believe that our love will remain strong till eternity.
I write this song to you, so when pain comes to you you’ll have a piece of me in your hands to embrace.
I hope you stay strong, the stars will light up the perfect way for you to follow while gone.
Cause I’ll be waiting for a star to tell me there’s light
Waiting for it to tell me you’re safe and the mission is done.
This is a sad song, it reflects sadness and heartache. The theme is a guy who is leaving her (the narrator). But he’s leaving her not because he wants to, but because he has a military mission. He has enlisted to be a military soldier as volunteer service. He doesn’t want to go but he needs to. He is in such a pain for leaving her that he doesn’t even have the courage to say goodbye “Face the rhythm of the night to say goodbye”. Also, she says that she writes this song to him so when he’s in pain he’ll have a piece of her to embrace. The symbol is the stars. The stars in the song represent light. Stars represent her hope and faith that he’ll be done soon and he’ll be back home safe. The motif is the mission. All of the song surrounds the fact that he’s leaving for a mission. This fact emphasizes the feelings and can also apply in other situations. I mean, life is a mission and sometimes you’ll say goodbye even though you want to stay, but sometimes that isn’t possible; you just remain faithful to see them again.
