Good Riddance (Time of your Life)

Artist: Greenday
Album: Nimrod

Another turning point, a fork stuck in the road
Time grabs you by the wrist, directs you where to go
So, make the best of this test and don't ask why
It's not a question but a lesson learned in time
It's something unpredictable but, in the end, is right
I hope you had the time of your life


So, take the photographs and still-frames in your mind
Hang it on a shelf in good health and good time
Tattoos of memories and dead skin on trial
For what it's worth, it was worth all the while
It's something unpredictable but, in the end, is right
I hope you had the time of your life

INSTRUMENTAL INTERLUDE

It's something unpredictable but, in the end, is right
I hope you had the time of your life

It's something unpredictable but, in the end, is right
I hope you had the time of your life.

***At first, you will think that the meaning of the song is very inspirational. Like, we can only live once and no matter how things go wrong, we still need to move on. Life is unpredictable but in the end, everything turns out right for things happen for a reason.

But, this song was written by BJ Armstrong out of sarcasm. His girlfriend moved to Ecuador and he named the song "Good Riddance" with a subtitle, Time of your Life.

In the line, "I hope you had the time of your life", it's like BJ is saying to her ex-girlfriend, "I hope you are happy now after messing up my life".

Cool song.
