Interpretation
The song 'Bye Bye' by
CRO tells a story of missed chances and unseized opportunities. The main character, a young man, sees a woman on the train who he really likes. He wants to approach her but can't find the courage to do so and eventually lets her go without saying a word 'Bye, bye, bye, bye, my love of my life! And yes, we'll never see each other again.' In the second part of the story, there is a perspective shift: now the woman tells her side of the story. She also saw the same man and hoped that he would approach her. She found him attractive and hoped he would make the first move. But she also couldn't gather the courage to talk to him, so she gets off the train and leaves him behind. The song revolves around the theme of missed love and the fear of taking initiative. It emphasizes the importance of showing courage and seizing opportunities when they arise. Because as the song says: 'It may be that we meet twice in life. But the second time it's simply too late.'
