Discover the story of the song > Of Greetings And Goodbyes – Afi

The song is about someone who wants to be hidden and invisible, like a secret or a hidden sin. They want to be tucked in and made invisible. They talk about a hidden explosion and a wandering cast with no direction, maybe referring to a chaotic and unpredictable situation. The singer mentions monsters and fairy tales. They want the lights to be killed and to glow in the dark until morning comes, and then they say goodnight and bow to everyone. They talk about sleeping beauties and rotting fruit, maybe symbolizing decay and emptiness. They want to be invincible and start another secret show. The singer reassures that there is no need to worry, they are just another monster in the secret show. The song repeats the chorus several times, emphasizing the desire to go under and say goodnight to everyone.
