Last Resort♥

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
This is my last resort
Suffocation
No breathing
Don't give a fuck if I cut my arm, bleeding
This is my last resort
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
"Last Resort" by Papa Roach is a song that speaks to the feelings of despair and hopelessness that can lead someone to consider suicide as their last resort. The repeated line, "Cut my life into pieces, this is my last resort," emphasizes the feeling of desperation and the desire to end the suffering that has become unbearable. The lyrics also touch on the theme of loss, both through the loss of the singer's mother and the loss of love and connection in his life. The line "Hungry, feeding on chaos and living in sin" can be interpreted as the singer's attempt to self-medicate through drugs or other destructive behaviors.
The chorus, "Losing my sight, losing my mind, wish somebody would tell me I'm fine," speaks to the feeling of loneliness and isolation that can often accompany depression and suicidal thoughts. The singer is crying out for help, but feels like no one is listening or willing to help him. The bridge, "Nothing's alright, nothing is fine, I'm running and I'm crying," further emphasizes this sense of despair and desperation.
Overall, "Last Resort" is a powerful and emotional song that speaks to the deep pain and suffering that can lead someone to consider suicide. By addressing these feelings head-on, the song has become an anthem of sorts for those who are struggling with mental health issues and serves as a reminder of the importance of reaching out for help.
