Last Resort
▼Papa Roach▼ Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Cut my life into pieces
This is my last resort
Suffocation
No breathing
Don't give a fuck if I cut my arm, bleeding

This is my last resort
Cut my life into pieces
I've reached my last resort
Suffocation, no breathing
Don't give a fuck if I cut my arm, bleeding
Do you even care if I die bleeding?
Would it be wrong? Would it be right?
If I took my life tonight
Chances are that I might
Mutilation outta sight
And I'm contemplating suicide

'Cause I'm losing my sight
Losing my mind
Wish somebody would tell me I'm fine
Losing my sight
Losing my mind
Wish somebody would tell me I'm fine

I never realized I was spread too thin
'Til it was too late
And I was empty within
Hungry
Feeding on chaos
And living in sin
Downward spiral where do I begin?
It all started when I lost my mother
No love for myself
And no love for another
Searching to find a love up on a higher level
Finding nothing but questions and devils

'Cause I'm losing my sight
Losing my mind
Wish somebody would tell me I'm fine
Losing my sight
Losing my mind
Wish somebody would tell me I'm fine
Nothing's alright
Nothing is fine
I'm running and I'm crying
I'm crying
I'm crying
I'm crying
I'm crying

I can't go on living this way

Cut my life into pieces
This is my last resort
Suffocation
No breathing
Don't give a fuck if I cut my arm, bleeding
Would it be wrong?
Would it be right?
If I took my life tonight
Chances are that I might
Mutilation outta sight
And I'm contemplating suicide

'Cause I'm losing my sight
Losing my mind
Wish somebody would tell me I'm fine
Losing my sight
Losing my mind
Wish somebody would tell me I'm fine
Nothing's alright
Nothing is fine
I'm running and I'm crying

I can't go on living this way
Can't go on




Living this way
Nothing's alright

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of ▼Papa Roach▼’s song Last Resort are a tragic cry for help from someone who is at the end of their rope. The opening lines “Cut my life into pieces, this is my last resort” suggest that the person has hit rock bottom and feels that suicide is the only way out. The repeated lines “Losing my sight, Losing my mind, Wish somebody would tell me I'm fine” show the complete desperation and hopelessness the person is feeling. They are crying out for someone to understand and help them, but no one seems to be listening.


The lyrics also suggest that the person has been dealing with a lot of emotional pain and trauma. The lines “It all started when I lost my mother, no love for myself and no love for another” paint a picture of someone who has been carrying a lot of pain with them for a long time. They have been searching for love and acceptance in all the wrong places, and it has only led them down a path of self-destruction. The chorus “Nothing's alright, Nothing is fine, I'm running and I'm crying” shows how overwhelming the pain has become, and how the person feels like they have nowhere to turn.


Overall, Last Resort is a powerful and emotional song that shines a light on the very real issue of suicide and mental health. It reminds us that even when someone appears to be okay on the outside, they may be struggling deeply on the inside.
