Placebo - Song to Say Goodbye
You are one of God's mistakes,
You crying, tragic waste of skin,
I'm well aware of how it aches,
And you still won't let me in.
Now I'm breaking down your door,
To try and save your swollen face,
Though I don't like you anymore,
You lying, trying waste of space...
Before our innocence was lost,
You were always one of those,
Blessed with lucky sevens,
And the voice that made me cry.
My Oh My.
You were mother nature's son,
Someone to whom I could relate,
Your needle and your damage done,
Remains a sordid twist of fate.
Now I'm trying to wake you up,
To pull you from the liquid sky,
'Cause if I don't we'll both end up,
With just your song to say goodbye.
My Oh My.
A song to say goodbye,
A song to say goodbye,
A song to say...
Before our innocence was lost,
You were always one of those,
Blessed with lucky sevens,
And the voice that made me cry.
It's a song to say goodbye
It's a song to say goodbye
It's a song to say goodbye
It's a song to say goodbye
It's a song to say goodbye
It's a song to say goodbye
It's a song to say goodbye
It's a song to say goodbye.
"Song to Say Goodbye" is the second single from Placebo's sixth studio album Meds. It was produced by Dimitri Tikovoi. As "Because I Want You" was only released in the United Kingdom, "Song to Say Goodbye" is considered the first single from Meds. The song develops around some piano notes that repeat throughout it. It is quite sentimental due to the power of its lyrics. It is a song that refers to drug addiction, specifically heroin. It contains a phrase of Neil Young's: "The needle and the damage done". There is a live version available of the song on the live EP Live at La Cigale. The original video portrays an addicted father that his son (played by Field Cate) tries to save. Some interpret this video as a role-reversal between father and son.
