Goodbye Milky Way
Shall I go?
Shall I stay?
107 light years away, many times, so many doubts…
but no reason to talk about…
“mission is over, mission is done,
I’ll miss you children of the sun
but it’s time to go away, Goodbye, Goodbye Milky way!”
for a better world without hate, from your heart believe in fate
only visions and the mind will guide you to the light.
“mission is over, mission is done,
I’ll miss you children of the sun
now it’s time to go and say, Goodbye, Goodbye Milky way!”
mission is over, mission is done,
I’ll miss you children of the sun
I’ll get born this one day,
I say Goodbye, Goodbye Milky way!”
in 5 billion years
Andromeda galaxy will collide with our Milky way,
a new gigantic cosmic world will be born…

it is just a masterpiece . never heard anything like it…………….

Awesome lyrics … though needs few corrections. Not upto that level of earlier Enigma albums, but perhaps they want to break out of their image of chants and rhymes – this album is much soothing and relaxing …

mind blowing song this one.It moves me to a different plane.Apt for the credits of some epic trilogy.
i’ll miss you children of the sun
Can you even hope to beat that line?
any other enigma recommendations?
Posted by Laurys on December 14, 2006 at 2:52 am
I think it has even kabbalistic meaning…saying like …goodbye children of the sun…and to always look for the Light…it really is a song of hope…almost prophetic, don’t you think?

The whole thing was done with synthesizers, Jorge. Except, of course, the voices.

The end of our milky way may be a new beginning in one way or another. A new world may come with new life. With life comes love.

In deed, as a explorer and seeker of music and wisdom i have collected every song by Enigma and other groups like them. True they are poised on the very heart string of the universe. As a DJ both in the new age and techno realms i have always adviced others of the healing and karmatic peace found within their music. if you wish, try also “wish you were here by Bliss” as well as music by “Delerium”. take care and be well, and many blessings upon you all.

[...] a A4 size and I used acrylics and coloured pencils. I was very inspired by my favorite song, Goodbye Milky Way by Enigma before creating my art trade. The Enigma video is unofficial so please listen to the song [...]

Great Band with a Great song.
Posted by Skepticism on December 22, 2007 at 2:43 am
It’s only implied by the lyrics that the Andromeda Galaxy is 107 light years away. I suppose this could be from the perspective of a space explorer just drifting elsewhere, but…
…107 is a rather strange number to use. It doesn’t rhyme with anything, it doesn’t match up to anything astronomically significant. Why use it? Is 107 significant to something else Enigma is inspired by?
Posted by gleng2 on February 1, 2008 at 8:34 pm
Just a hugely wild guess, but maybe the song is placed in the future when the Andromeda Galaxy is much, much closer (107 light years) and the 2 galaxies are about to collide. The date for collision however, is closer to 2 million years than 5 billion.
Posted by gleng2 on February 1, 2008 at 8:36 pm
Sorry, collision is ‘less than 2 billion years’ away…

I’ve never been in love with any band like the way I did in Enigma! Their songs are the best, especially this. It relaxes me.

Enigma is a philosophy,
Return to innocence,
The dream of the dolphins,
Beyond the invisible,
Th silent worrior,
Eyes of truth,
Back to the rivers of belief,
above all “Goodbye Milky way”
Posted by Data Daedalus on March 4, 2009 at 5:31 am
These lyrics (and the song “Goodbye Milky Way”) evoke the following conclusions:
The lyrics are those of a space traveller from a distant galaxy (Andromeda?) who has come to our galaxy and world on a mission to further our evolution and bring us closer, spiritually to the universe. His mission is now complete, and he (or she!) is returning to his world, his galaxy. The ET has developed an affinity with Earth, hence the touching goodbye song.
Personal experience.

i heard this song last week for the first time… on an overnight flight to iceland. it was beautiful. my father died a while back and this trip was intended to help me find some peace. this song is now forever linked to this trip and to my father.
