Last Time
Animotion Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Keep your word and do what you say
We connect your heart and head
You can lie when you go to bed
Whatever

You're turning passion into vice
Can you afford to pay the price?
You're turning passion into vice
So clever, so clever

Well the last time you fell apart
You show us all the state of your heart
Well the last time you fell apart
I was right beside you

No conversation when you're here
In a flash, you disappear
Without a word I'm in the dark
Without a match you make a spark

And you know then into passion
You turn your head into fashion
Well the last time you fell apart
You show us all the state of your heart
Well the last time you fell apart
I was right beside you

Well the last time you fell apart
You showed us all
Well the last time you fell apart
I was right beside you

The last time you fell apart
You showed us all a piece of the heart
Well the last time you fell apart
I was right beside you

Under the world
Under the night
Under the world could be





Give something that's true
Give me something to remember you

Overall Meaning

The song "Last Time" by Animotion is an emotionally charged track that expresses the frustration and disappointment of being with someone who proves to be unreliable and untrustworthy. The song is addressed to someone who has a tendency to make promises they don't keep and lies to themselves and others about their actions. The opening lines of the song implore the person to keep their word and to be authentic to themselves and others. The lyrics indicate that the person at the center of the song has a tendency to let their passions lead them astray, and the singer questions if they can afford to keep making that mistake.


The chorus of the song suggests that the person has been in this position before, and the last time they fell apart, the singer was beside them. This can be interpreted as either the singer being present to witness the person's downfall, or as the singer being supportive and there to help the person pick themselves back up. The verses suggest that there is a severe lack of communication in this relationship, and the person disappears without explanation leaving the singer feeling lost and alone. The singer asks the person to give them something true to remember them by, and this can be interpreted as a plea for the person to be vulnerable and honest.
