Between Wounds
Last Train Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Did you skin my wings or throw them away?
Did feel my wounds, did you heal me?
Where did you hide our burning salvation?
Why did you quit for a new relation?
You're wasting your time believe me

I'd been yours if you had been mine
But my hopes had faded by the time
Can you hear me tonight?

You treated me like a fool, like liar
'Cause you couldn't stand my desire
It was quite an awkward situation
It had became a bloody addiction
I wasted my time, forgive me

I'd been yours if you had been mine
But my hopes had faded by the time
Can you hear me tonight?

I'd been yours if you had been mine




But my hopes had faded by the time
Can you hear me tonight?

Overall Meaning

The song "Between Wounds" by Last Train is a melancholic reflection on a past relationship that didn't end well. The opening lines suggest that the singer had hoped to soar like a bird with their partner ("Did you skin my wings or throw them away?"), but something went wrong. The second line asks if the partner ever really understood the singer's pain and tried to help heal them.

The chorus repeats the singer's wish that things had worked out differently, but acknowledges that it's too late now.


The second verse continues with bitterness and resentment towards the partner. The singer is angry that the partner treated them poorly and didn't understand their passion. They describe the relationship as "quite an awkward situation" that became addicting but ultimately wasted their time. The chorus repeats with the same regrets as before, but this time there's a sense of guilt as well. The singer knows they could have done things differently, but it's too late to change anything now.


Overall, "Between Wounds" is a haunting and wistful song about lost love and the pain it can cause. The lyrics are evocative and memorable, and the music is atmospheric and emotional. It's a song that anyone who has ever been in a failed relationship can relate to.
