The Last Train
F.C Works Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Floating currents, cool night breeze
Let the moon light up my skin
As I wash right in the sea
If I wake asleep tomorrow
Can you tell me where I’ll be?
What would I have said to you?
What would my last words be?
Vandalised my mind, the relationships I tensioned
Never scratched the surface of the dreams that I was destined
Too broke to pay attention, never learn my lessons
Not proud of me, I can see your look at me, momma
I don’t want you to leave the world to be mad at me, momma
Since the cancer that struck, it got me realising, momma
That I should be spending the time that’s left for you, momma
Keep my cool, I’m on the wire
Tryna balance with my feet
Push the wind, close chest to chin
As I fogged my lens with ease
If I close my eyes forever
Can you tell me who I'd be?
What would I have said to you?
What would my last words be?
Didn't plan to make it past 25
By that standard at this point, I would be too alive
Too subscribed to the fact if I ended it myself
Purgatory be a blessing coz I'm messing with the heavens above
And hell where I am sitting flames devour the acid spitting
A spitting image of what I would be
If I ended up missing, would you look for me or look for ways to overlook my history?
Keeping my head on my shoulders
Is a challenge as it is
As it stands I'm lying, no sitting in between
Empty chairs and empty tables
At my birthday party scene
Dig into the cake
'Cuz the knives have been put away
Feel the wind on my face, I reminisce to the days
The comfort in your embrace and words I wish I had said
'Cuz as I’m growing, I find myself at peace
No longer the boy I was but more the man that I should be, yeah
I know that some of you don't understand
But if this train ever arrives, I know I wasn’t the better man
Best of friend, a worthy boyfriend, son and a brother
Just know throughout it all, I tried to love you like no other
I'm chasing, I'm chasing, I'm chasing
I'm facing the end of my rails
Please wait for me, don't leave me be
I don't wanna be alone
Will I ever reach my destination?
'Cuz this station's closing
And I’m waiting

Discovering inner tranquility and personal growth

I know that some of you don't understand
Recognizing that not everyone can empathize or comprehend my struggles
But if this train ever arrives, I know I wasn’t the better man

Best of friend, a worthy boyfriend, son and a brother
Striving to be a loyal and loving companion, partner, child, and sibling
Just know throughout it all, I tried to love you like no other
Expressing deep affection and devotion to those closest to me
I'm chasing, I'm chasing, I'm chasing
Endlessly pursuing something elusive and meaningful
I'm facing the end of my rails
Confronting the inevitability of my own mortality
Please wait for me, don't leave me be
Desperately seeking support and companionship in my final moments
I don't wanna be alone
Craving connection and fearing loneliness
Will I ever reach my destination?
Questioning if I will find fulfillment or purpose in life
'Cuz this station's closing
Feeling the impending conclusion or ending
And I’m waiting
Remaining in a state of anticipation and uncertainty
For the Last Train
Longing for an opportunity to find peace and resolution
