Story Behind The Song

From a strict upbringing in a conservative christian family, Kurt Caron (singer for 2 Headed Chang), had a hard time expressing his morbid humor, and cynical thoughts on life. During the time the song was written, Lots of trivial family garbage was happening around him, and he just expressed his frustrations trhough song because no one involved would listen to, or care about what he had to say. basically this song is a big "f*#k you" to the family drama, and the isolation that everyone feels from time to time.

Song Description

This song starts out with a very "in your face"attitude and gradually moves to a more somber tone of not regret, but just plain apathy to everything. The guitars are very Maiden inspired with a little hint of Pantera. Drums follow a pretty driving tempo, and then cut to a more groove based breakdown, and then back to an aggressive finish.

Lyrics

Goodbye

You think that I don?t know what?s going on?
You think that I don?t know that something?s wrong?
Well I?ve got bigger problems than you,
So what do you expect me to do?

Drop the cross that I?ve carried for so long?
Turn my back on everything I depended on?

Chorus:

This is my life!
You can?t take away,
My right!
I?ll live it my own way.

Discordant premonitions clouding all thought,
Sleepless nights compounding restless days,
What was set, carved in stone,
Broken, crumbled, carried away!

It?s easy to be different when you?re always pushed aside,
If you?re not like them, you?re hung before you?re tried

Chorus

You think you know what?s best for me?
Well just shut up, go away, and let me be!
I don?t see what I do affect you,
So what do you expect me to do?

Drop the cross that I?ve carried for so long?
Turn my back on everything I depended on?

Chorus

There?s no use crying tears for the dead,
Arms cradling my lifeless head,
All your efforts welling up in your eyes,
Just drop your dreams and kiss me goodbye.
