EPIC: The Musical - My Goodbye (Lyrics)

This is a lyric video for My Goodbye from EPIC: The Cyclops Saga (Original Concept Album). epic

Lyrics 🐢🐢🐢:
You are reckless
Sentimental at best
That's not a teaching of mine
You've grown soft
Your dead friends can attest

Hey!

Put your emotions aside
You're a warrior
Meant to lead the rest
I don't know where I went wrong
But I warned you
And you failed the test
So now I'm gone

This way, you'll know what your place is
This way, you can't cross the line
This way, when all is over
You'll keep yours and I'll keep mine
This way, you won't disappoint me
This way, you won't waste my time
This way, I'll close the door
Consider this as my goodbye

That's just like you
Why should I be surprised?
Selfish and prideful and vain
Unlike you
Every time someone dies
I'm left to deal with the strain

What's a title
That a Goddess could lend
If I'll never sleep at night?
I'll remind you
I saw you as a friend
But now we're done

This way, you're out of my head now
This way, you won't plague my life
This way, when all is done
You're out of sight and out of mind
This way, you get what you wanted
This way, you can save your time
This way, you close the door
And have your damn goodbye

You're not looking for a mentor
I'm not looking for a friend
I mistook you for a general
What a waste of effort spent

At least I know what I'm fighting for
While you're fighting to be known!
Since you claim you're so much wiser
Why's your life spent all alone?
You're alone

One day, you'll hear what I'm saying
One day, you might understand
One day, but not today
For after all you're
(Just a man)

This day, you sever your own head
This day, you cut the line
This day, you lost it all
Consider this as my goodbye

Consider this as my goodbye (oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
This is my goodbye (oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
Consider this as my goodbye (oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
This is my goodbye!

The amount of emotions she put in "You're not looking for a mentor, I'm not looking for a friend" give me the ultimate goosebumps

[anthnforourmoony]

"since u claim you're so much wiser" odysseus she's the goddess of wisdom 😭😭

[SammySaps]

I don't know if anyone's ever pointed it out but in Warrior of the Mind when Athena sings "he is a Warrior of the Mind", MIND is just one note, then when she duets with Odysseus, he introduces a more melodic way of saying it, which she adopts when "We are the Warriors of the Mind" is repeated. Here, at the end she sings "This is my goodbye" in the same melodic way, but when she repeats the line at the very end, it reverts back to the one note, which to me translates as her getting Odysseus out of her system

[ChaosQueen]

You can hear the pain in Athena’s voice when she says “I mistook you for a general” 😢😢
Edit: you can actually hear the pain in her voice the entire bridge or whatever it’s called!!

[AllianaCharleton]

I think Odysseus has a point though. He pointed out that anytime someone dies, Athena kinda acts like " oh, it's just another day and another soul lost." While he has to deal with losing his friends in battles. He has to deal with the fact that he couldn't do anything to save them. Athena also kinda got mad at him for having emotions like that's what makes him human, ma'am. But in a way, I can see Athena's side too but I can't really relate to hers except for liking being alone to an extent.

[Thetis_]

2:09 Who else immediately thought about Pallas?

Edit: Pallas was the daughter of Triton who was raised together with Athena. Athena killed her in a spar after Pallas was distracted by her father, having thrust her spear forward, expecting her to dodge, it instead went straight through Pallas's heart. In her remorse, Athena built a statue in Pallas's likeness and named it Palladium.

[Rainy_Starz]

She is so pained and I feel the wrenching, raw emotion. And Odysseus has clearly been fed up for so long, he pours bottled agitation into his words. They’re so incredible at stressing every little detail to the finest point— it feel so real! It just grips your heart and pulls you through the story, passing you back and fourth between the different versions of grief and pain. I’M SO OBSESSED Y’ALL 😭

[justinrivera]

The saddest break up in history. I’m glad they eventually work things out.

[wren._.cheesestick]

He really just called Athena out for being lonely😂

[alexaheure]

this is the ultimate break up song complete with reads and disses. Athena basically calling Odysseus a foolish, emotional waste of time and him calling her a selfish, lonely ole bitch. they are really coming for each other’s necks and i’m here for it. ancient greek slander. slay ✨💅🏽😂

[_xNazurahxPrepsx_]

"Athena once slayed again 🐢"

Got me laughing to the top of my lungs 😂

[noanull]

Athena 10 years later on Ithaca : So um. About that whole goodbye thingy

[laenaeverwood]

I love- ABSOLUTELY LOVE- when previous songs in an album are used to drive in a point and bring a further emphasis, or alter the meaning of certain lyrics. Please, when "Just a man" (2:26) played for that one line I absolutely fell in love because that prior hesitation in that song is being used against him to show just how unprepared she believes him to be.

[dragonking]

If anyone wants angst. This is the song for it.

I’ll be waiting to hear what song they make for their reconciliation, since this song really strikes the heart.

[StoneBasilisk]

Feels like she's waiting for Odysseus to take back what he said/did when she's repeating "this is my goodbye"

[filipposh]

The distance between the lines who have the same rhythm
''If you are lookng for a mentor, I'll make sure your time is well spent''
and
''You are not looking for a mentor, Im not looking for a friend''
Is just so painful, you can see the ghosts of the past there and athena goes from a catchy song to the sad truth
Also when he says to athena ''you are alone'' followed by a pause is just-
And if i hear any of them hear a sentancy ''this way-'' im gonna explode i swear to the Gods
By the way the 1rst line is from the Warrior Of The Mind by the same musical but you probaby know

[signna]

The fact the actress for athena was singing this while sitting down

[TBAUTIFUL]

Ayo anyone else notice the “Athena slayed once again” message at 3:05 lol🤣

[ayreannagonzalez]

Honestly all these greek god songs coming out just makes my heart so happy. Came here from listening to Pomegranate lips

[valentinarunko]

"just a man" reprise gave me chills bro 😭
