Prior to being a recording artist, he was a record store owner and a club DJ at a nightclub in Salt Lake City as a way to make ends meet for him and his wife. After he and his wife moved to San Francisco he landed a job as a A&R man at OM records, where in addition to reviewing demos for the label he also submitted his own material, which would pay off big time for him. In 2001 he went from behind the desk to behind the turntables and the recording studio as an artist in his own right. In 2003 Kaskade released his first album, "It's You It's Me", which was well received by critics.
It would be his follow up, "In The Moment" in 2004, that would put Kaskade on the map. The first single off the set "Steppin' Out" would become a major hit on the Dance Radio Airplay that year as well as a top 10 hit on the Hot Dance Music/Club Play chart. His biggest breakthrough would come the week of May 14, 2005, when his follow up, "Everything," would go all the way to #1 on the Hot Dance Music/Club Play chart.
Last Chance
Kaskade Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Please don't let me fall
Please don't break me
And leave me nothing at all
'Cause this was my one last chance to breathe
This is my one last chance to breathe
This is my one last chance to breathe
Please don't break me
And leave me nothing at all
'Cause this is my one last chance to breathe (to breathe)
This is my one last chance to breathe (ah)
This is my one last chance to breathe (to breathe)
This is my one last chance, my one last chance to breathe
The lyrics to Kaskade's "Last Chance" express vulnerability and a plea for emotional safety. The singer asks their significant other not to break them, not to let them fall, and not to leave them with nothing. The repetition of these requests emphasizes their urgency and fear of being hurt. The chorus, "This is my one last chance to breathe," suggests that the singer feels stifled or threatened in their relationship and needs this final opportunity to feel alive and free. The repetition of this phrase also implies a sense of desperation and finality; they may feel that they have exhausted all other options and that this is their last hope to find some relief.
It is possible that the song is inspired by a particular event or feeling in Kaskade's own life, but the lyrics are broad enough to resonate with many listeners who have experienced similar emotions in their own relationships. The song's simple, catchy melody and upbeat tempo contrast with its lyrics, creating a sense of tension and internal conflict. Overall, "Last Chance" is a poignant reminder of the importance of emotional safety and the consequences of not taking care of our loved ones' feelings.

Even though I'm old at 72, I recognize this as a great song ! My daughter upon learning that I love this was shocked and said "Dad This Is A Club Song" Regardless of what older folks may say about todays music, there is good music being made today,and this is a great example. The melody, and beautiful singing has stayed with me for a very long time and I don't want it to ever leave me !
Thank you so much for posting ,

I'll always remember when I first heard this song. Summer of 2014, driving back from the airport at 2am. My friend is in the van talking about something & this song comes on the radio. I instantly tune her our & am hypnotized by this song. The next day I find it. From there on, it's a staple on any device that can play music. This song has been one of the staples in helping me heal & try to rebuild my life after seeing it all crumble & burn around me in 2015. It's helped me in those moments where I wanted to take one last, final breath. It's helped me realize that life in itself is a privilege & even though 3 years later most of everything still lies in ruin, I am slowly rebuilding myself. I am alive & I still have a purpose. So to Kaskade & Project 46 - Thank You. Thank you for this song & your music as a whole.
