goodnight Vienna

(British slang) Events have reached a state of completion; nothing more can be done.
If the ship takes on any more water, it’ll be goodnight Vienna for us all.
So I met the girl, we had a few drinks. Back to her place, and Good Night, Vienna.

@[Banana101:33417]

the song has a double meaning built into it..

it can either be someone about to commit (or possibly already have committed) suicide

lay one day ticket = suicide
everyone is at his funeral crying get to a picture of him smiling

this is why he says in five to ten yours and mine will meet and straighten this whole thing out... yours and mine, not you and me, because I am already gone

Goodbye Vienna is a phrase meaning something is too far gone to fix.

Goodbye Vienna is a popular phrase meaning no more can be done, finished.

The song has a double meaning either of someone moving far away from someone else or someone taking their own life as an escape.

I think the song is about someone committing suicide or who already has and is looking back on those they left behind, and wanting them to move on.

"maybe in five or ten YOURS AND MINE will meet again and straighten this whole thing out" implies that two families are getting together, not two people

"am I already gone?" meaning is it too late to save me

"Really no way to reach me" meaning no way to convince them to stay

The song has a double meaning or perhaps triple meaning. Either two people dating who split. or someone thinking about committing suicide or someone who already has.
