03. The Last Time
Amber Pacific Lyrics

The song 03. The Last Time by Amber Pacific discusses a couple that has grown apart and is at their breaking point. The opening line, "I faintly remember yesterday, Oh so close yet far away," indicates that the memories of their once-great love are fading away. The couple's past is compared to something etched in stone, showing how impossible it is to erase the memories of their love. The line "Forever is a word that only grows" is a bittersweet touch as it was once a word they used to describe their love. Now, it only emphasizes how final their goodbyes will be.

The chorus of the song demonstrates a clear resignation to that fact that their love has ended. "This is goodbye because we're growing older, this is forever in the words you never said, this is goodnight 'cause we're getting colder, this is the last time I'll kiss your lips again" is a melancholy goodbye. The phrase "we're growing older" represents that time will not heal their relationship. The phrase "this is forever in the words you never said" means that the things that were left unsaid will continue to haunt both parties. The reference to growing colder shows that their love and passion for each other are fizzling away. The last line is the final kiss goodbye, a sad but necessary step.

In the second half of the song, the singer is pleading with their love not to leave them. The lyrics read "I close my eyes, all I think about is you, I miss the girl that I once knew, A sleepless night, a dying wish, please don't leave me here like this." The last ditch effort to save the relationship is the singer's dying wish. This line implies that if the relationship ends, the singer will not be the same. The song ends with the singer's last gasp of hope, a plea for the lover not to leave.
