Mount Eerie - Goodbye Hope

Hello my air, goodbye hope.
Goodbye also to your ambushes.
I say "Goodbye ghost"
And watch it turn to wide air
Where I shine and float.

Hello darkest fear, goodbye eyes-closed.
In the lonely, lonely, lonely night,
In the long shadows,
I fell to my knees in tears
And said "Sweet heart, hello."

Hello my heart, and yes, goodbye Hope.
You know we will go steady.
Say "Goodbye" and "No"
You'll find me fanning out my warm unfolding hands.
Blindly let me go.

[BloodIncantationTab]

After Genevieve's passing, all of these old songs fucking wreck me

Oh my god....I forgot about The Microphones!!! The glow pt 2 just punched me in the memory part.

This is how my life actually changed in the weirdest way.
Short version : I was 12 and had no music taste whatsoever. I thought nirvana and Lincoln Park was all there was in 2002. I didn't know any better. Then my cousin chase who was in college visited us for christmas and came up to me with A Phil Elverum Microphones CD. He also gave me a cd of The Shins.
And imagine not hearing any music like this before. The Glow played and I cried.

I don't understand the two Lines "You know we will go steady, say "Goodbye" and "No"". The no part in particular.. is it like Hope is complying to his wish with the goodbye, but realizing that there's an emptiness in the conciliatory words, "You know we will go steady, ", with the no?
Hmm, I guess the last verse is actually more of a coaxing than an actual goodbye.
