Last Goodbye
Another Lost Year Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
How the walls are coming down,
Do we really know the cost!
Faces people find their place
Where they rise and where they fall.
Do you know how life turned
The story has begun.
Will you watch me as I pray away the night?
We have to road some far from this place
To find a way back home
Is a chance to last goodbye?
No last goodbye.
Cause where we tear all the reasons
On shelve there is no place
Happiness above their sleeping
There no spell, there's no taste
Everything we thought was wrong
It turn better in the end.
You know how life turned
We swear we saw it there
Will you watch me as I pray away the night
Is a chance to last goodbye?
We have to road some far from this place
To find a way back home
Is a chance to last goodbye?
No last goodbye.
Do you know how life turned
The story has begun.
Will you watch me as I pray away the night?
Is a chance to last goodbye?
Will you watch me as I pray away the night?
Is a chance to last goodbye?
We have to road some far from this place
To find a way back home
Is a chance to last goodbye?
No last goodbye.
Oh oh oh oh
No last goodbye
Oh oh oh oh ay
No last goodbye
You don't have to run, oh
You don't have to run
Far away that turn
There's a chance to last goodbye
This is your last goodbye.
The song "Last Goodbye" by Another Lost Year describes the transient nature of life and how people come and go in one's life. The lyrics suggest that even though we may feel lost or unsure about life, there's always a chance to say goodbye to the things holding us back and find our way back home. The lyrics also suggest that life is full of unexpected turns, but everything turns out better in the end.
The opening lines suggest that the "deputy," who represents authority or control, is losing their grip, and the walls are coming down. It could be interpreted as a metaphor for the chaos and uncertainty that surrounds us, the result of the current political climate, or simply the struggle to cope with the unpredictability of life. The lyrics suggest that despite this lack of control, people find their place, but not always for long, as they rise and fall. The storyteller then asks if the listener will watch them as they pray away the night, indicating a sense of hopelessness or desperation, but also a glimmer of hope that things can improve.
The chorus repeats the phrase "Is a chance to last goodbye?" several times, suggesting that we all have the opportunity to say goodbye to whatever holds us back, to shed our old skins and start anew. The lines "We have to road some far from this place To find a way back home" suggest that sometimes we need to leave everything behind and go on a journey to find ourselves. The song concludes on a note of finality, "This is your last goodbye," suggesting that we need to say goodbye to whatever is holding us back before we can move forward.

No last goodbye.
This is not the end
You don't have to run, oh
You do not have to flee
You don't have to run
You can face your problems head-on
Far away that turn
Even if the path ahead is uncertain
There's a chance to last goodbye
There still exists a possibility that we may encounter each other again
This is your last goodbye.
But for now, this is our goodbye
