Nessa segunda-feira (10) o Linkin Park disponibilizou para a Genius a letra da faixa “Good Goodbye”, inédita do álbum “One More Light”.
O novo single conta com a participação de Pusha T e Stormzy, e tem o basquete como uma de suas inspirações: “Eu sou fã de basquete. Quando eu estava escrevendo essa música, eu queria que ela demonstrasse aquele momento no jogo quando alguém faz uma falta, e as líderes de torcida cantam e chutam pra fora o jogador expulso”, conta Mike Shinoda.
Já o vocalista Chester diz que queria que a música mostrasse algo além do basquete, mas também um relacionamento. “Para servir em ambos. Alguém sendo colocado para fora do jogo, e alguém saindo de um relacionamento ruim”, finaliza. Confira a letra completa:
[Chester Bennington]
So say goodbye and hit the road
Pack it up and disappear
You better have some place to go
‘Cause you can’t come back around here
Good goodbye
(Don’t you come back no more)
[Mike Shinoda]
Live from the rhythm, it’s
Something wild, venomous
Enemies trying to read me
You’re all looking highly illiterate
Blindly forgetting if I’m in the mix
You won’t find an equivalent
I’ve been here killing it
Longer than you’ve been alive, you idiot
And it makes you so mad
Somebody else could be stepping in front of you
And it makes you so mad that you’re not the only one
There’s more than one of you
And you can’t understand the fact
That it’s over and done, hope you had fun
You’ve got a lot to discuss on the bus
Headed back where you’re from
[Chester Bennington]
So say goodbye and hit the road
Pack it up and disappear
You better have some place to go
‘Cause you can’t come back around here
Good goodbye
(Don’t you come back no more)
[Pusha T]
Goodbye, good riddance
A period is after every sentence
Did my time with my cellmate
Maxed out so now we finished
Every day was like a hail date
Every night was like a hailstorm
Took her back to my tinted windows
Showin’ out, she in rare form
Wings up, now I’m airborne
King Push, they got a chair for him
Make way for the new queen
The old lineup, where they cheer for ‘em
Consequence when you ain’t there for him
Were you there for him?
Did you care for him?
You were dead wrong
[Chester Bennington]
So say goodbye and hit the road
Pack it up and disappear
You better have some place to go
‘Cause you can’t come back around here
Good goodbye
(Don’t you come back no more)
[Stormzy]
Let me say goodbye to my demons
Let me say goodbye to my past life
Let me say goodbye to the darkness
Tell ‘em that I’d rather be here in the starlight
Tell ‘em that I’d rather be here where they love me
Tell ‘em that I’m yours this is our life
And I still keep raising the bar like
Never seen a young black brother in the chart twice
Goodbye to the stereotypes
You can’t tell my kings we can’t
Mandem we’re linking tings in parks
Now I gotta tune with Linkin Park
Like goodbye to my old hoe’s
Goodbye to the cold roads
I can’t die for my postcode
Young little Mike from the Gold Coast
And now I’m inside with my bro bro’s
Gang
[Chester Bennington]
So say goodbye and hit the road
Pack it up and disappear
You better have some place to go
‘Cause you can’t come back around here
Good goodbye
(Don’t you come back no more)
“One More Light”, que já conta com os single “Heavy” e “Battle Symphony” será lançado no dia 19 de maio, mas antes o Linkin Park passa aqui pelo Brasil no Maximus Festival, que acontece dia 13 de maio em São Paulo.
