Lastnight's Goodbye
Hopes Die Last Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm afraid I realized
I'm afraid You're gonna leave this place
Another way
To feel again and again
What gave sense to this
What gave sense to my life
It's the night that ends all nights
I wanna be the last frame in your eyes
Trying everyday to break the line
That holds me tied
Strictly to the ground
And all!...my convictions fade away
And what I'm holding on my chest
It's your disappearing hand
And now!...I'm giving you my last kiss
The last time I feel your breath
Tell me...
This isn't happening to me
Now it's up to you
To find a way out of here
So I became a stranger for you
And even to myself
Now I can't smile no more
'Cause it seems to be the end
trying everyday to break the line
that holds me tied
strictly to the ground
And all!...my convictions fade away
And what I'm holding on my chest
It's your disappearing hand
And now!...I'm giving you my last kiss
The last time I feel your breath
It was never my dream
To be with you
No...never been my dream
Its meant to be...
And now I'm here between heaven and ice
But words are not friends of mine
So all I got to say is goodbye
The song "Lastnight's Goodbye" by Hopes Die Last is a heartbreaking ballad about a couple facing their last moments together. The song's opening lines, "Open arms to reach my hands, I'm afraid I realized, I'm afraid you're gonna leave this place," set the tone for the entire song. The singer is afraid of being left alone, and it seems like their fears are about to be realized.
Throughout the song, we see the singer struggling to hang on to the relationship. He is "trying every day to break the line that holds [him] tied strictly to the ground" but is met with failure every time. He acknowledges that his convictions are fading away, yet he can't bear to let go of the disappearing hand of his lover. The singer seems to be begging for some kind of closure, whether it be a final kiss or a sincere goodbye.
The song is a poignant exploration of the pain and confusion that comes with the end of a relationship. With lines like "So I became a stranger for you and even to myself, Now I can't smile no more, 'Cause it seems to be the end," the song perfectly captures the helplessness one feels when facing the end of any important relationship. "Lastnight's Goodbye" is a heart-wrenching song that perfectly captures the emotions that come with saying goodbye to someone you love.
