Last Dance
Jamie-lee Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And all the cupids are unarmed
We will linger on until another morning comes
But where is the fun in bliss
If it all ends up like this
Save it all now
For the last dance
Save it all now for the last dances
If we had the chance
Pretend that we all right
Holding me just like
It's the first day of our lives
The first day of our lives
Everything must change
But nothing ever goes away
Ever goes away and only scars will remain
And we cannot disappear
Just as long as we stay here
Right here
Right here
Yeah
Save it all now
For the last dance
Let us be the ones
Save it all now for the last dances
As if we had the chance
Pretend that we all right
Holding me just like
It's the first day of our lives
The first day of our lives
If we don't open up our eyes again
Could we refuse tofade
If we don't open up our eyes again
Could we refuse to fade
Save it for the last dance
Save it for the last dance
The song “Last Dance” by Jamie-Lee Kriewitz is an emotional ballad about cherishing the present moment and making the most of it while you still can. The morning represents the future, and the cupids being unarmed symbolize the idea that love and happiness are not guaranteed in the future. The song suggests that it's better to remain in the present moment and enjoy every last bit of it, even if it means accepting the inevitability of change and letting go.
The lyrics also explore the theme of holding on to memories and not letting them fade away. The idea that nothing ever goes away, and only scars will remain suggest that even memories may someday haunt us, but they are a reminder that we were present at that moment in time. The chorus, “Save it all now for the last dance, let us be the ones,” emphasizes the need to make the most of every moment and live life to the fullest.
Overall, “Last Dance” is a song that teaches us the importance of cherishing the present moment, savoring the memories we make along the way, and staying optimistic even in the face of change.
Line by Line Meaning
When the morning comes
After the night is over
And all the cupids are unarmed
And all the arrows of love fail to strike
We will linger on until another morning comes
We will stay until the next day comes
But where is the fun in bliss
But what is the point of happiness
If it all ends up like this
If it ultimately results in this
Save it all now
Preserve everything at this moment
For the last dance
For the final time we will dance
Let us be the ones
Let us be the people who save everything for the last dance
If we had the chance
If we were given an opportunity
Pretend that we all right
Act as if everything is fine
Holding me just like
Embracing me as if
It's the first day of our lives
It is the beginning of our existence
Everything must change
Things will inevitably transform
But nothing ever goes away
Although things change, nothing disappears
Ever goes away and only scars will remain
Only wounds and their marks will last
And we cannot disappear
And we cannot vanish
Just as long as we stay here
As long as we remain here
Right here
Exactly where we are
Save it all now
Preserve everything at this moment
For the last dance
For the final time we will dance
Let us be the ones
Let us be the people who save everything for the last dance
As if we had the chance
As though we had the opportunity
Pretend that we all right
Act as if everything is fine
Holding me just like
Embracing me as if
It's the first day of our lives
It is the beginning of our existence
If we don't open up our eyes again
If we do not awaken once more
Could we refuse tofade
Could we avoid fading away
Save it for the last dance
Preserve everything for the final time we will dance
Save it for the last dance
Preserve everything for the final time we will dance
