Last Stand
Adelitas Way Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm all alone
You're far away
Never learned from my mistakes
I should have known
Just what to say
To make you want to stay
You were always the one giving
I was always there to take it
Take your heart and break it
Oh

And I'll never make it without you
I need a second chance
Cause I want to make it about you
I'm making my last stand
It took a moment to say
It wasn't you it was me
I couldn't let you in
Now I'm ashamed I pushed you away from me
Now I'm afraid it's too late to save again

Miss you the most when I sleep
Turning nightmares into dreams
Can't lose hope
It's killing me
(killing me)
I'm the one who made you leave
But if I just take a chance now
Open up and finally reach out
(reach out)
Can I save it all somehow
Oh

And I'll never make it without you
I need a second chance
Cause I want to make it about you
I'm making my last stand
It took a moment to say
It wasn't you it was me
I couldn't let you in
Now I'm ashamed I pushed you away from me
Now I'm afraid it's too late to save again

I'm all alone
You're far away
I finally found the words to say
Oh
And I'll never make it without you
(sorry for the way I shut you out)
I need a second chance
Cause I want to make it about you
(sorry for the way)
I'll make it my last stand
It took a moment to say it wasn't you
It was me
I couldn't let you in
Now I'm ashamed I pushed you away from me
(I couldn't let you in)




Now I'm afraid it's too late to save again
Won't be afraid won't push you away

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Adelitas Way's song "Last Stand" reflect on a past relationship where the singer pushed away their significant other, leading to their breakup. The first two lines convey the distance between the two individuals and perhaps indicate that they have lost touch. The singer admits to not learning from their past mistakes and not knowing what to say to make their partner stay. They acknowledge taking their love for granted and breaking their heart.


The chorus expresses the singer's remorse and their desire for a second chance to make things right. The singer realizes that they are responsible for their partner's departure but is hopeful that they can reconcile. The line "Miss you the most when I sleep/Turning nightmares into dreams" conveys how the singer is haunted by the memories of their past relationship and cannot escape them even in their dreams.


The last verse demonstrates the singer's acknowledgement of their errors and an apology to their ex-partner, recognizing that it was not the other person's fault. The final line "Won't be afraid, won't push you away" serves as a promise to the partner that they will not repeat their past mistakes.

Ultima ResistĂȘncia
Eu estou sozinho
VocĂȘ estĂĄ longe
Nunca aprendi com meus erros
Eu devia ter sabido
O que dizer
Para fazer vocĂȘ querer ficar
VocĂȘ sempre foi quem dava
Eu sempre estava lĂĄ para pegar
Pegar seu coração e quebrå-lo
Ohhhh

E eu nunca vou conseguir sem vocĂȘ
Eu preciso de uma segunda chance
Porque eu quero fazer isso sobre vocĂȘ
Eu estou fazendo minha Ășltima resistĂȘncia
Levou um momento para dizer
NĂŁo era vocĂȘ, era eu
Eu nĂŁo podia deixĂĄ-la entrar
Agora eu estou envergonhado eu empurrei vocĂȘ para longe de mim
Agora eu tenho medo que seja tarde demais para salvar novamente

Sinto mais sua falta quando eu durmo
Tornando pesadelos em sonhos
Não posso perder a esperança
Isso estĂĄ me matando
(Me matando)
Eu sou aquele que te fez ir
Mas se eu arriscar agora
Me abrir e finalmente alcançar
(Chegar)
Posso salvar tudo isso de alguma forma
Ohhhhh

E eu nunca vou conseguir sem vocĂȘ
Eu preciso de uma segunda chance
Porque eu quero fazer isso sobre vocĂȘ
Eu estou fazendo minha Ășltima resistĂȘncia
Levou um momento para dizer
NĂŁo era vocĂȘ, era eu
Eu nĂŁo podia deixĂĄ-la entrar
Agora eu estou envergonhado eu empurrei vocĂȘ para longe de mim
Agora eu tenho medo que seja tarde demais para salvar novamente

Eu estou sozinho
VocĂȘ estĂĄ longe
Eu finalmente encontrei as palavras para dizer
Ohhhh
E eu nunca vou conseguir sem vocĂȘ
(Desculpe pelo jeito que eu te deixar de lado)
Eu preciso de uma segunda chance
Porque eu quero fazer isso sobre vocĂȘ
(Desculpe pelo jeito)
Eu estou fazendo minha Ășltima resistĂȘncia
Levou um momento para dizer que nĂŁo foi vocĂȘ
Fui eu
Eu nĂŁo podia deixĂĄ-la entrar
Agora eu estou envergonhado eu empurrei vocĂȘ para longe de mim
(Eu nĂŁo podia deixĂĄ-la entrar)
Agora eu tenho medo que seja tarde demais para salvar novamente
NĂŁo terei medo, nĂŁo vou te afastar

@christopherhammond3664

Rick seems like a good dude. Ran into him a couple times on a cruise in 2018, and hung out w/ him & the boys in Austin after a show. Was kinda surprised when he remembered me at a Vegas show.

@Sarah-ry5zi

Pleno 2022 e eu aqui, nunca vou enjoar dessa mĂșsica 😍

@Astrologiology

This is my new favorite band definitely. I love these guys.

@ericbarclay1526

I was first introduced to Adelitas Way when they toured with Red a year ago. I instantly liked their music. Last Stand has become one of my favorite songs. It is interesting that my favorite bands are the 'underated' ones and not the mainstream big-name bands.
