Last Train
Ghost Dance Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Just keep on walking, never look back
Tomorrow’s calling, hear the sirens wail
Shadows falling, coming down like rain
On the last train
Riding the weather
On the last train
A kiss too late goodbye
All aboard let’s go
And leave yesterday behind
In the morning will things still look the same
Come the dawn and the cold light of day
When the euphoria starts to subside
I wonder who’s been taken for a ride
On the last train
Headlong together
On the last train
Hell-bent for leather
Where I’m bound I don’t know
Ask me if I care
Let that whistle blow
Take me anywhere, anywhere but home
Tomorrow’s calling
I’ve gotta get away
Shadows falling
Coming down again
On the last train
Headlong together
On the last train
Hell-bent for leather
Where I’m bound I don’t know
Ask me if I care
Let that whistle blow
Take me anywhere
On the last train, on the last train…
The song Last Train by Ghost Dance is a reflection on the desire to escape from the present reality and embark on a journey to an unknown destination. The opening lines, "Let the dust form and cover my tracks, Just keep on walking, never look back," suggest the singer's urge to leave behind all that is familiar and embark on a new path. As the song progresses, the lyrics describe the call of tomorrow and the shadows of the future, giving the impression that the singer is being pulled towards a new destination. The chorus, with the repeated phrase "On the last train " and "let that whistle blow," further emphasizes the desire to leave behind the present and become part of a new journey. The lyrics also touch upon the theme of uncertainty, as the singer does not know where he is headed and what awaits him at the end of the journey.
