One Last Breath
Creed / Weathered Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Hold me now
I'm six feet from the edge and I'm thinking
Maybe six feet ain't so far down

I'm looking down now that it's over
Reflecting on all of my mistakes
I thought I found the road to somewhere
Somewhere in His grace
I cried out heaven save me (save me)
But I'm down to one last breath
And with it let me say, let me say

Hold me now
I'm six feet from the edge and I'm thinking
Maybe six feet ain't so far down

Hold me now
I'm six feet from the edge and I'm thinking
Maybe six feet ain't so far down, I'm so far down

Sad eyes follow me
But I still believe there's something left for me
So please come stay with me
'Cause I still believe there's something left for you and me
For you and me for you and me

Hold me now
I'm six feet from the edge and I'm thinking

Hold me now
I'm six feet from the edge and I'm thinking
Maybe six feet ain't so far down

Hold me now
I'm six feet from the edge and I'm thinking
Maybe six feet ain't so far down

Please come now I think I'm falling
I'm holding on to all I think is safe

“One Last Breath” (2001) is about a man who thinks his life is over. However, with his last breath, he’s trying to hold on to life and the things he loves about it. Going absolutely nowhere in his life, he’s trying to escape. Later in the tune, his outlook gets darker (“I’m looking down now that it’s over”), and he’s reflecting on the mistakes he made and crying out to heaven for help. In the last part, he has found the strength to go on (“‘Cause I still believe there’s something left for me”), and though he’s down to his last breath, he still believes that his life will get better.

Creed guitarist and composer Mark Tremonti claimed : “‘One Last Breath’ is one of my favorite guitar lines, so it’s one of my favorite musical compositions […]. It […] turned out to be one of our biggest songs […].”

The video, directed by Dave Meyers, features some fancy compositing, putting Creed in a fantastical landscape of cliffs and ruins. ONE CLEVER VISUAL METAPHOR‼️ 💚🎶💜

Every now again I improvise my own lyrics in a song. It's art, it's meant for us to draw our own feelings from what they created and build what we feel inside.

@evanbiter2138

38w

God created us. We came from Adam and Eve. They were given choice and decided to ignore God's warning. They disobeyed. They were removed from paradise and were fallen. We have the same nature as them when we are born as humans. Unless we are born again. The only way to be born again is to trust in what Jesus did on our behalf, facing God's wrath which we deserved to face even though He lived a sinless life, even to death. Forgiveness of sins is only found in Jesus's name. He then rose again from the grave and is seated at the right hand of the Father until He returns. He was born of a Virgin and fulfilled prophecies about the Messiah handed and conveyed to us by prophets and those influenced by the Holy Spirit. If we are born again, we are sealed by the Holy Spirit and being sanctified until Jesus returns. The Holy Spirit gives us a desire to honor God, He convicts us of sin and helps us to become more like Jesus. Works are evidence of the state of our faith and whether or not our faith is in the right thing. (For example... our works will show when we trust in our own works/obedience rather than trusting in Jesus and our faith leading to delighting in obedience. For example... believing we are set free to sin will lead to no fruit being produced. Both of these things are going to show fruit of dead faith.) Good works are not our response to God's grace. They are what God's grace causes in us when He gives us a new heart and the Holy Spirit.
