Last Dance
Covenant Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

This is my white shadow
A shadow of myself
This is the last shadow
There’s no one left to blame
You are my black widow
A widow in the rain
You are my eternal widow
And keeping me insane

This is my bright shadow
A shadow of my face
This is the single shadow
There’s nothing left to drain
You are my dark widow
A widow in the net
You are my final widow
And I had myself to blame

My heart is blackened
I am dying in your arms
Let this not be
The last dance
The floor collapses as we dance
We are falling apart
This is the world on fire.
This is the end of it all

This is the world on fire
This is where we start to fall





I pray for rain

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Covenant's song, Last Dance, are full of metaphorical images that create a haunting, melancholic atmosphere. The first verse begins with a powerful statement, "This is my white shadow, a shadow of myself." Here, the white shadow is likely a representation of the singer's innocence or purity, and it is something that has been lost or stained. The last shadow that is referred to signifies the end of something, it could be interpreted as the end of an era or the end of a person's life. The singer admits that there is no one left to blame but themselves, suggesting that they feel responsible for the loss of this innocence.


The second verse continues the poetic imagery with "This is my bright shadow, a shadow of my face", which is in contrast to the first verse's white shadow. The single shadow symbolizes a sense of loneliness or despair, and the singer feels drained of all energy. The black widow mentioned in the song is a recurring theme, suggesting a predatory and deadly nature. The widow in the net may represent a trap, and the final widow may signify a sense of finality. Throughout the song, the singer acknowledges their own participation in their downfall, yet they cannot fully escape the web of this "eternal widow" and are driven "insane" by its grasp.


The chorus's lyrics depict a painful, tumultuous relationship that is reaching its end. The heart is "blackened," suggesting that it has been corrupted or consumed by negativity. The metaphor of a dance that ends in disaster is also quite powerful, as the "floor collapses" while they dance, indicating that everything around them is falling apart. As the world is engulfed in flames, the singer is left to confront the consequences of their own actions. The final line, "I pray for rain", is a plea for relief from this destructive situation.
