The last beat
Herbert [Matthew Herbert] Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Are you dreaming me?
Is this feeling you?
Are you thinking similar things
Or must I think for two?
Are we on our side?
Has our case been tried?
Has the thought of leaving ever left you?
(Like a tide)

Should we carry on?
Or has it all been done now?

Is this what you heard?

Has the end occurred?
Is the last beat heard?

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Herbert feat. Dani Siciliano's song The Last Beat reflect the thoughts and emotions of a person trying to understand their relationship with another. The beginning of the song can be interpreted as the singer questioning the reality of their relationship, wondering if the other person feels the same way about them. They ask if they are just being dreamed up or if the other person is feeling the same emotions.

As the song continues, the singer wonders if both parties are on the same page or if one is carrying the weight of the relationship more than the other. They question if there has been a discussion about leaving or if it's just an unspoken desire.

In the chorus, the singer contemplates the state of the relationship and whether it's worth continuing or if it's already reached its end. The repeated line "Is the last beat heard?" suggests that the relationship might be coming to an end, and the singer is unsure if there is any hope left.

All in all, the lyrics of The Last Beat highlight the confusion and doubts that can come with a relationship, and the struggle to communicate and understand each other.
