Longest Goodbye Lyrics


I don't know where we go to when we fade away
I've asked a thousand times on the road to mandala
We live to tell the tale and fight another day
I told an atheist that now's the time to pray
The sun has disappeared for all my life
And it won't reappear for all my life
We're changing world so slowly
I know this chain so well
We're only friends till morning
Well we'll figure it out ourselves
We'll figure it out ourselves
We're bigger than they can tell
Before the eclipse has come again
So we're up against the world

Don't waste a second
Go, go choose a weapon
Don't waste a second
Go, go choose a weapon

We're changing world so slowly
I know this chain so well
We're only friends till morning
Well we'll figure it out ourselves
Before the eclipse has come again
Before the eclipse has come again
Before the eclipse has come again
So we're up against the world
Against the world
Against the world

The sun has disappeared for all my life
And it won't reappear for all my life
Don't waste a second
Go, go choose a weapon
Don't waste a second
Go, go choose a weapon
Before the eclipse has come again
So we're up against the world

We're changing world so slowly
I know this chain so well
We're only friends till morning
Well we'll figure it out ourselves
Before the eclipse has come again
Before the eclipse has come again
Before the eclipse has come again
So we're up against the world

Longest Goodbye
  • This fluety, atmospheric album closer is a tribute to Example's late pal. "It's about a friend of mine who was in a bad way, and he ended up taking his life," he explained to The Daily Mirror. "When you hear the lyrics, it starts to make sense. I was trying to understand what might be going through someone's head as they make their last walk before they take their life. He was under a lot of pressure, my friend, and he was an amazing guy. He spent his whole life making other people happy, but it got too much for him. Imagine having 15 people relying on you, your mother, your brothers and sisters, your kids. It's at the end because it is the end, really."

    "The inspiration came from Massive Attack, Aphex Twin," Example added. "It's a tribute to him, and a fitting way to close the album. His family have said they really love it, which means such a lot to me."
