How do you say goodbye when you've hardly said hello-- whats the meaning behind this phrase?

Answer 1

That's a direct quote off the Bring Me the Horizon song "F*ck" which is the fourth track of their 2010 album "There is a Hell, Believe Me, I've Seen It, There is a Heaven, Let's Keep It a Secret".

How do you say goodbye when you've hardly said hello?

The only way we know, the only way we know.

How do you say goodbye when you've hardly said hello?

Let's f*ck, f*ck, f*ck, f*ck, f*ck!

After a short look at the lyrics it's quite obvious that the meaning behind this phrase is the situation of a relationship which is mainly centered around sex.

(Seriously not trying to spam around or something like that, but that's the only song or text that contains the line "How do you say goodbye when you've hardly said hello?")

Answer 2

This phrase refers to instances where a goodbye or farewell has to be said shortly after meeting someone. It symbolizes the unexpected or abbreviated nature of the encounter, highlighting the transient and fleeting nature of relationships.
