Sing Your Last Lullaby
Felix Hagan & The Family Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You might think that it′s funny
But there's really no way to find the time
To do this purely for money
Unless you want to get bored and toe the line
So take a seat at our table
And drink so deeply from the cup that I provide
For thought the liquid′s unstable
With every sip you will know that you're alive

And through the cities and the wild
We're taking over
So come and sing your last lullaby

This house is my house
So bring me fire, I′ll burn it all to ashes
It′s my life and it's fine
And I will cry with laughter as I trash it
Well is it the parents or is it a phase?
This tiresome desire to shock and amaze
And so perhaps I′ll grow out of it one of these days
I don't know

But now I′m clutching at shadows
Draped in ridiculous clothing every night
So monumentally shallow
And yet this shade of discomfort feels so right
For there are things that are worthless
But they are nothing in the eyes of history
That old celestial circus
With teeth and fingernails I'll carve a place, you′ll see.

And through the cities and the wild
We're taking over
So come and sing your last lullaby
This house is my house
So bring me fire I'll burn it all to ashes
It′s my life and it′s fine
And I will cry with laughter as I trash it
Well is it the parents or is it a phase?
This tiresome desire to shock and amaze
And so perhaps I'll grow out of it one of these days
I don′t know.

But at the dawning of this fight we kissed a sweet goodbye and off I sauntered for the cure
And even if the sky turns dark and hurls down bolts of lightning I will laugh and scream for more.

This house is my house
So bring me fire I'll burn it all to ashes
It′s my life and it's fine
And I will cry with laughter as I trash it
Well is it the parents or is it a phase?
This tiresome desire to shock and amaze




And so perhaps I′ll grow out of it one of these days
But for the moment I'm alright

Line by Line Meaning

You might think that it's funny
You may find the situation amusing


But there's really no way to find the time
It is difficult to allocate time for something


To do this purely for money
To solely pursue an endeavor for financial gain


Unless you want to get bored and toe the line
Unless you want to become uninterested and conform to expectations


So take a seat at our table
Join in and be a part of our group


And drink so deeply from the cup that I provide
Partake in what I offer to fully experience it


For thought the liquid's unstable
Although the substance may be unpredictable


With every sip you will know that you're alive
Each taste will make you feel more alive


And through the cities and the wild
Across various environments and landscapes


We're taking over
We are asserting our presence and influence


So come and sing your last lullaby
Join us in our cause and relinquish your old, sleepy ways


This house is my house
This place is under my control


So bring me fire, I'll burn it all to ashes
Bring me destruction, I will obliterate everything


It's my life and it's fine
This is my life, and it's satisfactory to me


And I will cry with laughter as I trash it
I will joyously destroy what I have created


Well is it the parents or is it a phase?
Is it the upbringing or a temporary stage?


This tiresome desire to shock and amaze
This repetitive aspiration to surprise and stun


And so perhaps I'll grow out of it one of these days
Maybe I will no longer have this disposition in the future


I don't know
I am unsure


But now I'm clutching at shadows
Currently, I am holding onto something intangible


Draped in ridiculous clothing every night
Wearing absurd attire frequently


So monumentally shallow
Remarkably superficial


And yet this shade of discomfort feels so right
Despite feeling uneasy, it feels appropriate


For there are things that are worthless
Certain things have no value


But they are nothing in the eyes of history
In history, they hold no significance


That old celestial circus
The antique, grand spectacle


With teeth and fingernails I'll carve a place, you'll see.
I will aggressively pursue my place and stand out


But at the dawning of this fight we kissed a sweet goodbye and off I sauntered for the cure
At the beginning of this struggle, we parted ways optimistically for the solution


And even if the sky turns dark and hurls down bolts of lightning I will laugh and scream for more.
Despite the potential dangers, I will still want more and be entertained

You might think that it’s funny
But there’s really no way to find the time
To do this purely for money
Unless you want to get bored and toe the line
So take a seat at our table
And drink so deeply from the cup that I provide
For thought the liquid’s unstable
With every sip you will know that you’re alive

And through the cities and the wild
We’re taking over
So come and sing your last lullaby

This house is my house
So bring me fire, I’ll burn it all to ashes
It’s my life and it’s fine
And I will cry with laughter as I trash it
Well is it the parents or is it a phase?
This tiresome desire to shock and amaze
And so perhaps I’ll grow out of it one of these days
I don’t know

But now I’m clutching at shadows
Draped in ridiculous clothing every night
So monumentally shallow
And yet this shade of discomfort feels so right
Cause there are things that are worthless
But they are nothing in the eyes of history
That old celestial circus
With teeth and fingernails I’ll carve a place, you’ll see

And through the cities and the wild
We’re taking over
So come and sing your last lullaby
This house is my house
So bring me fire I’ll burn it all to ashes
It’s my life and it’s fine
And I will cry with laughter as I trash it
Well is it the parents or is it a phase?
This tiresome desire to shock and amaze
And so perhaps I’ll grow out of it one of these days
I don’t know

But at the dawning of this fight we kissed a sweet goodbye and off I sauntered for the cure
And even if the sky turns dark and hurls down bolts of lightning I will laugh and scream for more

This house is my house
So bring me fire I’ll burn it all to ashes
It’s my life and it’s fine
And I will cry with laughter as I trash it
Well is it the parents or is it a phase?
This tiresome desire to shock and amaze
And so perhaps I’ll grow out of it one of these days
But for the moment I’m alright

I'm not going to lie, when I first started listening to this song, I thought I wasn't going to be a song I really warmed up to. I've now listened to it three times in a row, quoted lyrics and shared it on facebook. Well played.

@DeanRadcliffe

Never mind the theatrics, the song itself is every bit as epic as any Journey song ever was- and with the girls vocals and the key changes, and then the video that could be called “Last Suppper Food Fight”- you really beak the mold, y’all

@kayleasgdunn8892
