How Do We Say Goodbye?

Goodbyes are never easy. They often leave us with more questions than answers, lingering in our minds like a haunting melody. “Mirrors,” our latest dance track, dives deep into the emotional complexity of farewells, capturing the conflicting feelings that come with letting go of someone significant.

At first listen, “Mirrors” might seem like a simple dance track, designed to get you moving on the dance floor. But beneath the pulsing beats and infectious rhythms lies a deeper narrative—one that many of us can relate to. The song’s lyrics are a poignant exploration of memory, truth, and the struggle to move on. It’s not just about saying goodbye; it’s about the lingering presence of that goodbye in our lives.

The chorus, with its repeated question, “How do I say goodbye to someone like you?” …

…is the emotional heart of the song. It’s a question that doesn’t have a straightforward answer, much like the experience of parting ways with someone who has been deeply intertwined with your life. Whether it’s a romantic relationship, a close friendship, or even a moment that has passed, the echoes of these goodbyes often remain with us, reflected in the “mirrors” of our minds.

One of the most compelling lines in the song is, “Minding the rearview mirror while driving away.” This imagery perfectly encapsulates the struggle of moving forward while still being tethered to the past. It’s about trying to live your truth in the present while being constantly reminded of what’s behind you. The rearview mirror is a powerful symbol in the song—a small reflection of what we’ve left behind, but one that we can’t help but glance at as we move forward.

“Mirrors” is not just about sadness or loss; it’s also about resilience. The danceable beat suggests that even as we struggle with these heavy emotions, we must keep moving. Life doesn’t stop for our goodbyes; it pushes us onward. This track is a testament to the human spirit’s ability to carry on, even when our hearts are weighed down by the past.

We hope that “Mirrors” resonates with you on multiple levels. It’s a song for those moments when you’re driving alone at night, replaying memories in your mind, but it’s also a track to lose yourself in on the dance floor, finding solace in the rhythm and the movement. In many ways, “Mirrors” reflects the duality of life—the dance between holding on and letting go.

So, as you listen to “Mirrors,” we invite you to reflect on your own experiences of saying goodbye. How do you navigate those moments of farewell? How do you balance the past with the present? And most importantly, how do you keep dancing through it all?

Mirrors Lyrics

mirrors

how do i say goodbye to somone like you…

so what if i did things right

it’s not how it seemed

i think i can understand

just not what i mean

well it’s um, better now

memories are a haze

but minding the rearview mirror

while driving away

how do i say goodbye

to someone like you

there’s more to that fateful day 

i’m telling the truth

afternoon like we used to spend

and you caught my eye

pretty sure you may have turned your head

glasses reflect summer light

how do i say goodbye  

to someone like you

can’t begin to stop living my life

or telling my truth

pushing back at all the memories today

but minding mirrors while driving away

how do i say goodbye 

to someone like you

can’t begin to stop living my life

or telling my truth

how do i say goodbye

to someone like you

there’s more to that fateful day 

im telling the truth

how do you say goodbye to someone like you?
