Lagu "Goodnight, Travel Well" yang dibawakan oleh The Killers adalah sebuah karya yang menyentuh hati tentang kesedihan dan penerimaan akan kehilangan. Liriknya yang puitis mengeksplorasi pergulatan batin seseorang yang berduka, menggambarkan rasa sakit yang mendalam dan kerinduan akan orang yang dicintai yang telah meninggal. Bait-bait lagu ini dengan lugas menyampaikan ketidakmampuan untuk mengungkapkan perasaan dan menawarkan penghiburan melalui pengakuan bahwa semua orang yang selamat mengalami kesedihan dengan cara yang sama.
Goodnight, Travel Well Lyrics
The Killers
The unknown distance to the great beyond
Stares back at my grieving frame
To cast my shadow by the holy sun
My spirit moans with a sacred pain
And it's quiet now
The universe is standing still
There's nothing I can say
There's nothing we can do now
There's nothing I can say
There's nothing we can do now
And all that stands between the souls release ?
This temporary flesh and bone
We know that it's over now
I feel my faded mind begin to roam
Every time you fall
And every time you try
Every foolish dream
And every compromise
Every word you spoke
And everything you said
Everything you left me, rambles in my head
There's nothing I can say
There's nothing I can do now
There's nothing I can say
There's nothing I can do now
Up above the world so high
And everything you loved
And every time you try
Everybody's watching
Everybody cry
Stay, don't leave me
The stars can wait for your sign
Don't signal now
And there's nothing I can say
There's nothing I can do now
There's nothing I can say
There's nothing we can do now
Goodnight, travel well
Goodnight, travel well
And there's nothing I can say
There's nothing I can do now
Stares back at my grieving frame
To cast my shadow by the holy sun
My spirit moans with a sacred pain
And it's quiet now
The universe is standing still
There's nothing I can say
There's nothing we can do now
There's nothing I can say
There's nothing we can do now
And all that stands between the souls release ?
This temporary flesh and bone
We know that it's over now
I feel my faded mind begin to roam
Every time you fall
And every time you try
Every foolish dream
And every compromise
Every word you spoke
And everything you said
Everything you left me, rambles in my head
There's nothing I can say
There's nothing I can do now
There's nothing I can say
There's nothing I can do now
Up above the world so high
And everything you loved
And every time you try
Everybody's watching
Everybody cry
Stay, don't leave me
The stars can wait for your sign
Don't signal now
And there's nothing I can say
There's nothing I can do now
There's nothing I can say
There's nothing we can do now
Goodnight, travel well
Goodnight, travel well
And there's nothing I can say
There's nothing I can do now
