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?

Hold on Tight – Lyrics

hold on tight

i’ve got to tell you

been thinking about you all day long

i want to know you

but don’t know exactly where to start

i can’t deny it

youv’e got a stranglehold on me

can’t lie about it

i need you in every possible way 

then i hear your voice 

and i hear your pain

know it all too well

hold me close to you again

just hold me closely

hold me tight

easy to speak

not easy to feel

you’ve got me in in your hands

what can i say…

maybe im just weak that way

but if you let me explain

i know you’ll understand 

i know i’m out of line wth 

all i hope for is to be with you my head goes on days…

i couldn’t tell you 

exactly when or where or

how feelings got this way

then i hear your voice and i hear your pain

know it all too well

here it comes again

then i feel your voice and i feel your pain

know it all too well

hold me close to you again

i’ll hold you closely if you hold us right 

please hold me closely well hold on tight

then i hear your voice

and i hear your pain

know it all too well

hold me close to you again

then i hear your voice and i hear your pain

know it all too well

here it comes again

then i feel your voice and i feel your pain

know it all too well

hold me close again

i’ll hold you closely if you hold us right 

please hold me closely 

well hold on tight

and then i hear your voice and i hear your pain

know it all too well

hold me close to you again

Go On: Encouragment and Perseverance

It’s easy to slip into routine and complacency, but there comes a time when discontent grows too loud to ignore. “Go On” a track of self-realization and renewal, encourages you to break free from conformity and embrace the authenticity of existence.

With the opening chords we’re drawn into a narrative of introspection and defiance. Once content to sleepwalk through life, now at a crossroads, grappling with the realization that existence has been built upon a foundation of falsehoods and pretense. Yet, amidst the turmoil of awakening, there’s a glimmer of hope—a sense of liberation that comes with shedding layers of deception and embracing the truth, no matter how harsh it may be.

“It was kind of nice for a while To sleepwalk through life Enter a world of fake smiles Then come home late at night”

These opening lines set the stage for a journey of self-discovery and resilience.

We acknowledge the allure of illusion, the comfort of conformity, but ultimately we need confront the futility of living a life built upon lies. It’s a sentiment that resonates deeply with anyone who’s ever felt trapped within the confines of societal expectations, yearning for something more but unsure of where to begin.

Yet, as the chorus erupts with defiant determination, a newfound sense of empowerment emerges:

“Well I go on It feels so good right now I’m finally free There’s nothing holding me back Except for me”

Here, amidst the driving rhythm and vocals, lies the heart of “Go On.”

It’s a rallying cry for those who refuse to be confined by the expectations of others, who dare to challenge the status quo and carve their own path forward. It’s a reminder that true freedom comes not from external circumstances, but from the courage to confront our inner demons and embrace the fullness our humanity.

Throughout the song, there’s a sense of catharsis—a release of pent-up emotions and a shedding of old skin. Acknowledging the losses incurred along the way, the friendships strained or severed in the pursuit of truth. Yet, amidst the wreckage, there’s a sense of gratitude for those who’ve played a role in their awakening:

“Thank you for waking me I can’t say enough It’s time to fight again The real world—can get rough”

These words serve as a testament to the transformative power of adversity, the crucible through which resilience is forged and character is tested. It’s a recognition that true growth often arises from the ashes of our past selves, as we emerge stronger, wiser, and more determined than ever before.

As the song draws to a close, there’s a sense of closure—a final reckoning with the ghosts of the past and a bold declaration of newfound purpose:

“I was going through the motions I finally know it now Brushing off the dust from my jacket Turn my back on what I’ve known”

In these lines, we find the essence of “Go On”—a testament to the power of self-awareness and the courage to embrace change. It’s a reminder that even in our darkest moments, there lies the seed of transformation, waiting to be nurtured and cultivated into something beautiful.

In the end, “Go On” represents hope for anyone who’s ever felt lost or disillusioned, a reminder that no matter how bleak the circumstances may seem, there’s always a light waiting to guide us home. So let us heed its call, embrace our awakening, and step boldly into the unknown, for it’s only in the journey of self-discovery that we truly find ourselves.

Go On Lyrics

130 BPM | C Major

it was kind of nice for a while

to sleepwalk through life

enter a world of fake smiles

then come home late at night

i’ve got to be honest here

it was ok for a time

but how long can you go on

living all those fucking lies

well i go on

it feels so good right now

i’m finally free  

there’s nothing holding me back

except for me

it felt so predictable, its the end of the line

i’m getting outside

breaking out of a kind of hell 

that was never mine

i think it ended well

thank you for waking me 

i cant say enough

its time to fight again

the real world — can get rough

well i go on

i lost good people along the way

but here i stand

scraping off the shit ive stepped in

i hope you understand

life goes on

thank you for waking me 

i cant say enough

its time to fight again

the real world — can get rough 

was asleep half the time

and now im awake

a pleasant afterthought

to ignoring all the pain

i was going thru the motions

i finally know it now

brushing off the dust from my jacket

turn my back on what i’ve known

thank you for waking me 

i cant say enough

its time to fight again

the real world — can get rough
