Lirik lagu Green Day "Good Riddance" yang ceritakan perpisahan

Jakarta (ANTARA) - Lagu "Good Riddance (Time of Your Life)" dibawakan grup musik punk rock Amerika Serikat Green Day dalam album bertajuk "Nimrod" yang dirilis pada 1997.

Lagu itu ditulis oleh vokalis Green Day Billie Joe Armstrong berdasarkan pengalaman pribadi tentang perpisahan. Penggalan lirik lagu itu mengungkapkan penerimaan pahit tentang perpisahan agar bisa terus maju dan tumbuh dewasa.

"Good Riddance" menjadi single tersukses Green Day setelah "Basket Case" dari album "Dookie" rilisan 1994. Lagu itu juga ditulis ketika Green Day sedang merekam "Dookie", namun, saat itu mereka belum terpikir akan memasukkan "Good Riddance" ke dalam album manapun.

Lirik lagu Green Day "Good Riddance (Time of Your Life)"

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 it's 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 it's right

I hope you had the time of your life
