One Last Chance
Behind the Fallen Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You always need someone to blame
As you dig yourself into a bigger grave
You should find some way to say
What is under your breathe
Why point your guns at me?
The innocent are convicted of everything
You run from
(Don't set the bar low)
Did you not recall?
Everything that went wrong

Why can't you remember that I cannot save you?
Holding onto something that you just can't reach
Look into the mirror While you heal your troubled mind
One last chance to survive

I'm not your stepping tone
Or your bridge to your kingdom
I've walked this path alone
With no hands to hold
I've made a path
But you're too blind to realize
The time has passed
Now the path is an ocean

Why can't you remember that I cannot save you?
Holding onto something that you just can't reach
Look into the mirror While you heal your troubled mind
One last chance to survive

(This is your last chance)
I want this perfect image of what we want to be (to be)
But I can't stand what I see
I'll break you down to pieces
Show you what you are (you are)
Maybe the time will come when both of us are even

Why can't you remember that I cannot save you?
Holding onto something that you just can't reach
Look into the mirror While you heal your troubled mind
One last chance to survive

I'll break you down to pieces




Show you what you are (to survive)
Maybe the time will come when both of us are even

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Behind the Fallen's song One Last Chance describes a situation where someone is trying to help another person who is trapped in their own negativity and self-destructive behavior. The person who is trying to help, is being blamed and attacked unfairly, despite their efforts to assist. The lyrics suggest that this person is not responsible for the other's problems and can't fix them. The lines "Why can't you remember that I cannot save you? Holding onto something that you just can't reach" show that the other person is trying to hold onto something that is impossible to obtain. The chorus "One last chance to survive" implies that there is still hope for the person to turn things around if they take responsibility for their actions and start to heal their troubled mind.


The lyrics also express frustration and disappointment towards the other person's behavior. The line "I want this perfect image of what we want to be, but I can't stand what I see" indicates that the person was hoping for a positive outcome, but is now disappointed by the other person's actions. The message in the lyrics is that there is only so much someone can do to help another person, and ultimately, it is up to the individual to take responsibility for their actions and choices in life.
