Discover the story of the song > Goodbye Goodnight For Good – Alesana

The lyrics are about a person who is asking for help to sleep because they are dealing with feelings of jealousy and hurt. They are saying goodbye to their romantic partner, who has turned their back on them and said hurtful things. The person wants their partner to remember their face and feel the pain when they think about them. They will now fight for themselves and let go of the things that have caused them pain. They want their partner to choke on the lies they told during their last goodbye. The person no longer feels haunted by their partner and is now alone. They believe that it was not wrong for them to feel the way they did. They find pleasure in seeing their partner fade away and they refuse to fight them anymore. The person wants to make sure that their partner never wakes up again. They describe their partner's beautiful eyes being sewn shut and the light being suffocated by a thread.
