Song To Say Goodbye lyrics:
[Verse 1]
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
[Chorus]
Before our innocence was lost
You were always one of those
Blessed with lucky sevens
And a voice that made me cry
My, oh, my
[Verse 2]
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 tryin' 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
[Chorus]
Before our innocence was lost
You were always one of those
Blessed with lucky sevens
And a voice that made me cry
[Outro]
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

Top Comments of this video!! :3
When i was a kid, i used to watch this video on MTV. In my head i was like : "Oh.. poor boy. he had to take care of his dad all the time..."
15 years later, my prespective in seeing this video has changed. "This is me in depression and the boy is just a little voice in my head who convince me to stay alive."

When I was young this song and music video used to make me think about my childhood, being parent of my alcoholic dad and schizo mom. Now as an adult I changed my point of view and makes me think about my inner child guiding me to be a better person and finally get a happy life. A song to say goodbye to all my past.

This song means so many different things to so many people - definition of high art

My mother had a brain stroke (thrombosis) when i was 10.
I don't need to analyze this video so much. from then, i grew up very fast and i became her personal assistant, translator and her right arm (she doesn't move it, and she never spoke one word again since that day).
When she fell down, a part, or my entire childhood fell with her.
Everybody can make his own interpretations, but i can feel this song and video very directly and i hope can let her go someday.
I'm 26 now and i always wanted to share my story each time i saw this video. Thanks for reading and thanks Placebo.

Actually I view this video as the perfect representation of depression, where the kid is actually the young us that was still "happy" and that is still trying to fight and to be better again.

This is not just a song and a video - this is a work of Art.

It's 2022 and this song still rocks. Probably my favourite placebo song

Being a parent to your parents deprives you of childhood, I can relate to this on another level

When I was 9 my step dad died, my mum and him were literal soulmates, you just couldn’t believe it. He died because of an overdose of a medication a nurse had given to him in hospital. My mum told me once that the only reason she was staying in this world was me, she cried every night, I comforted her every time (I now get startled and tense when I hear something like a sob). I took care of the house, her and myself, the type of thing that scars you: I now don’t experience emotions in the same way, they just « slip », something just broke.
I am nearly 18 now, she is still very depressed and I was the kid in the video and will always be, the scar is still there and will never leave.
And the fact that this song is played with the video is really getting to me: the song is already really weird, it brings up deep feelings that mix nostalgia, fear, depression and is, in an unhealthy way, comforting, similarly to when your disorder becomes your friend, it reminds me of a part of my childhood in a weird way and the clip of an other part of it. I can’t believe it became so personal to me and that it is to many people too.

I'm 39 having difficult times and this song just came to my mind tonight. I've never seen the video and I'm shocked because I'm feeling like the Man. Fortunately, I don't have kids to bear me. The video and the song are absolutely brilliant. Speechless.

This video is so powerful because regardless of what Brian was singing about, it hits a lot of people dealing with different things. It brings me memories of having to "parent" my mom who has struggled with depression and BPD her whole life.

You can't change people.
You can only love them.

The most accurate portrait of depression to me. The man is my depression and the little boy is the part in me that still wants to keep going.
Edit: wow thank you so much for the likes and sweet comments. I actually means a lot me.

I've been listening to Placebo since I was 17, I'm 32 now, and I could say that no other video + song I've ever heard can compare to the emotions I feel when I watch this one. 2022 and it's still an absolute masterpiece.

Probably one of the greatest music and video combos ever

It's a song about heroin addiction and I can't thank this song and strong video enough . It gave me the strenght to get help after 30 years of addiction to mostly every drug I touched. I am in my second year of recovery, two amazing children 9 and 7. I was always a functioning addict so thankfully my children haven't been effected. Being clean is so much better. Thanks placebo.

I have schizophrenia and depression so they took away my daughter. I cry everytime i watch this video, thinking that if i was with her, it would end up that way

I did not understand this video long time ago. And now I understood it. (( we all have this kid who keeps us alive. He is the reason we make our next step every day. I hope everyone who read this comment will be happy soon. Placebo, please come with concert to Russia. We all loves you.

Brian Molko is definitely a genius a poet. Nothing better than listening the deep feelings of someone who is dying from the inside and desperately asks for help!

I wrote and directed this video for Placebo in 2006. It’s so much heartwarming to see how my short film can connect with all of you. ‘Song to say goodbye’ was so inspiring, I wrote a story following the lyrics but being distant from them at the same time, to not illustrate and let it open to interpretation. I first made a 4’ music video for ‘Song to say goodbye’ then suggested this 8 minutes extended version. Thank you so much to all of you for your wonderful comments.
