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 to Papa Roach's "Last Resort" are a cry for help from someone who has lost all hope and feels as though they have no other options. The repeated phrase "cut my life into pieces" emphasizes the desperation of the singer's situation, and the line "this is my last resort" makes it clear that they feel as though suicide is the only way out. The mention of suffocation and not being able to breathe suggests that the singer is feeling overwhelmed and trapped.


The lyrics also touch on the singer's feelings of loneliness and isolation. They mention that they are "losing [their] sight" and "losing [their] mind" and that they wish someone would tell them they are fine. The repetition of these phrases emphasizes the singer's sense of despair and the feeling that they are completely alone in their struggle.


Ultimately, the song is a powerful statement about the importance of recognizing mental health struggles and reaching out for help when support is needed. It reminds us that it is okay to ask for help and that we are never truly alone.

CUT MY STEAK INTO PIECES
THIS IS MY KNIFE AND FORK
SALT AND PEPPER 
DONT NEED IT
DONT GIVE A FUCK IF I EAT IT UNSEASONED
THIS IS MY KNIFE AND FORK!!!

Cut my steak into pieces 
Iv reached my last desert, Hydration and eating 
Dont give a fuck if you dont like frying
Would you even care if i was crying

Would it be wrong or be right? 
If i ate desert first tonight? 
Chances are that I might 
Salt and pepper out of sight. 
and im contemplating 
Homicide 

Cuz im loosing my pots
loosing my pans
wish somebody would 
Bring me some Ham
loosing my pots 
loosing my pans
with somebody who 
should have 
brought ham

I never realized it was 
cooked to raw
Till it was too late
n then i puked in my car 

Hungry driving 
in chaos looking 
for a place. 

To be alone
and wipe the puke
off my face. 

It all started 
when i lost my butter
no love for my Toast
no love for another. 

Searching to find butter
 on a higher shelf
finding nothing but 
questions and ketchup 

Cuz im loosing my 
knife loosing my fork
wish somebody would 
bring me some pork

loosing my knife 
loosing my fork
with somebody who
should have brought pork. 
Nothings in sight 
Nothing is frying 

Im Baking and im Tryyying 
Im fryyying
im tryying
im fryying
im tryying

I Cant go on cooking
this way. 

CUT MY STEAK INTO PIECES
THIS IS MY KNIFE AND FORK
SALT AND PEPPER
DONT NEED IT 
DONT GIVE A FUCK 
IF I EAT IT UNSEASONED

Would it be wrong or be right? 
If i ate desert first tonight? 
Chances are that might 
Salt and pepper out of sight. 
and im contemplating 
with homicide

cuz im loosing my pots
loosing my pans
wish somebody would 
bring me some ham
loosing my pots
loosing my pans
with somebody who 
should have brought ham

Last Resort
Canción de Papa Roach

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 out of 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 upon 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 out of sight
And I'm contemplating suicide
'Cause I'm losing my sight, losing my mind

Losing my sight, losing my mind
Wish somebody would tell me I'm fine
Nothing's alright, nothing is fine
