Time to Say Goodbye Lyrics

You split
And take in every time you see
A faking counterfeit
In the mirror you appear
To see fear
And whisper this is it

To see nothing else

    Knowing tyler and most of his earliest songs and you can also dig deeper into this song's lyrics aswell, but I think this song does in fact depict him parting from all he was and ever created because he recognizes God and he sees all that he was, is, and had created as worthless and dead as he renders to the splendor of God. Man, this song is brilliant and I want to be able to part from the life I live in this corrupt and decaying earth for something much more grander.

    Probably ToPs most suicidal song. Tyler is talking about looking in a mirror and just seeing nothing meaningful, this description has a strong tone of self-hate.
    He seems to enjoy the fact, that Somebody else is hurting him and feels some kind of closeness to this person.
    He says goodbye to this earth and everything he has ever created, because he is not able to see any worth in this.
    But now, when everything is over, he enjoys even little thing in life and but he is also yearning for the peace which lies in the life after death and is hoping that he will be free elsewhere.
    Than Tyler is describing that fights he had fought and how he lost these fights. Which made his decisions of a suicide clearer.
