In 2009, Ages Apart balanced beauty and aggression on their critically acclaimed debut release Can You Hear Me and brought a fresh new voice to the ACTive Rock genre. Guided by producer Travis Wyrick (P.O.D, 10 Years, Pillar), Ages Apart achieved a sound both daring and familiar, at times introspective and at others furiously emotional.
The Black and White Magazine calls them "timeless," and Timothy Toutges of Ed Jones Productions in Nashville raves, "Ages Apart is a world class band that will go all the way! This is what Rock & Roll dreams are made of." But perhaps Lou Brutus of Sirius XM said it best with his understated praise, "These guys are really good. Why has no one sent this band to me before?" Even more people will be asking this question as the band dramatically expands their touring schedule and radio play to previously unreached markets throughout 2012.
After 400+ shows in over 20 states, Ages Apart learned firsthand what it means to be a professional touring band. Spending countless nights a year on the road will make or break a band's career, but Ages Apart credits their friendship and shared passion for pulling them through the toughest times. So don't count on Ages Apart slowing down until they've permanently burned their sound into popular memory. Having shared the stage with many great bands including Three Days Grace, Sick Puppies, Framing Hanley, & Pop Evil, Ages Apart has learned never to settle. At the end of the day, Rock has always been about bands pushing themselves to extremes for the sake of their fans.
2012 promises to be the most extreme year yet for Ages Apart. In addition to a demanding tour schedule, the upcoming year will find the band back in the studio, beginning work on their much anticipated sophomore album, a shocking sequel to Can You Hear Me's brutal honesty. Despite buzzing social networks and fan pages rampant with rumors, Ages Apart has stayed impressively secretive about the new release, reluctant to ruin the big surprise for their hardcore fans. But one thing is beyond doubt: the album, scheduled for release in 2013, will be well worth the wait. Ages Apart, after all, has made a career out of shattering expectations.

Last Time
Ages Apart Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You see my temper, As it burns inside
Can someone take this, Take it from me
I'm tired of feeling, feeling guilty, from what I'm faking
Won't you take this from me, Cause I'm tired of feeling
You know that I try and do the best that I can
But lately it feels I've been wronged again
It feels like I crossed it for the last
Time! Time!
She walks up to me reaching for my hand
Every time I breathe, I breathe in sin
How can she take this, Take it from me
I'm tired of feeling, feeling guilty, from what I'm faking
Won't you take this from me, Cause I'm tired of feeling
You know that I try and do the best that I can
But lately it feels I've been wronged again
You know I keep stepping over the line
It feels like I crossed it for the last
Time! Time! Time!
You know that I try and do the best that I can
But lately it feels I've been wronged again
You know I keep stepping over the line
It feels like I crossed it for the last
Time! Time!
The lyrics of Ages Apart's "Last Time" tackle a deeply personal and emotional struggle of feeling burdened by one's actions and the consequences that come with it. The first two lines establish a tone of desperation, as the singer reaches out to someone who can understand their turmoil. They're not just crying, but also struggling to control their temper, and it's not only affecting them but also the people around them. The singer is pleading for someone to intervene and "take it from me," to spare them from the guilt and shame of pretending to be something they're not.
The second verse introduces another character, a woman who approaches the singer and tries to reach out to them. However, the singer believes that they're too tainted by their sins for someone like her to help them. The repetition of "take this from me" emphasizes the weight of the singer's burden, highlighting their desire for release from their internal torment.
The chorus repeats throughout the song, emphasizing the singer's feeling of finally approaching a breaking point. They may have been wronged by someone, but also they themselves have crossed a line, and it feels like they can't go back from it anymore. The repetition of "Time!" is almost like a ticking clock, counting down the last moments before something catastrophic happens.

Listen to my whisper, You hear me cry
I'm speaking softly, but my emotional pain is still evident
You see my temper, As it burns inside
Although I may not show it, I am angry and frustrated
Can someone take this, Take it from me
I need help to relieve this burden I am carrying
I'm tired of feeling, feeling guilty, from what I'm faking
I am exhausted from pretending to be okay and feeling guilty about it
Won't you take this from me, Cause I'm tired of feeling
Please help me, as I am exhausted from feeling this way
You know that I try and do the best that I can
I am making an effort to improve my situation
But lately it feels I've been wronged again
Despite my efforts, I still feel like things are going wrong
You know I keep stepping over the line
I am aware that I have boundaries and I am exceeding them
It feels like I crossed it for the last Time! Time!
I have a sense that I have gone too far and there will be consequences
She walks up to me reaching for my hand
Someone is trying to offer me comfort and support
Every time I breathe, I breathe in sin
I feel like I am constantly in the wrong and cannot escape it
How can she take this, Take it from me
I wonder if this person can truly understand what I am going through and help me
Time! Time! Time!
I am running out of time to make things right before the consequences catch up to me
