Last Train Home
Lost Prophets Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
To every broken heart in here
Love was once a part, but now it's disappeared
She told me that it's all a part of the choices that your making
Even when you think you're right
You have to give to take
Forget the sorrow
And I can be on the last train home
Watch it pass the day
As it fades away
No more time to care
No more time, today
But we sing
If we're going nowhere
Yeah we sing
If it's not enough
And we sing
Sing without a reason
To ever fall in love
I wonder if you're listening
Picking up on the signals
Sent back from within
Sometimes it feels like I don't really know whats going on
Time and time again it seems like everything is wrong in here
But there's still tomorrow
Forget the sorrow
And I can be on the last train home
Watch it pass the day
As it fades away
No more time to care
No more time, today
But we sing
If we're going nowhere
Yeah we sing
If it's not enough
And we sing
Sing without a reason
To ever fall in love
Well we sing if we're going nowhere
Yeah we sing if it's not enough
And we sing
Sing without a reason to ever fall in love
But we sing
If we're going no where
Yeah we sing
If it's not enough
And we sing
Sing with out a reason to never fall in love
To never fall in love again
Lost Prophets's song "Last Train Home" is a representation of the feeling of being alone and desolate, with no hope or purpose to look forward to. The song begins with a counting of one, two and three, initiating the verse with a sense of urgency and a call to attention. The lyrics then start off by addressing the broken hearted, referring to the lost love that was once a part of their lives. However, the love has now disappeared, and the lead singer talks of how it's all part of the choices that we make. Sometimes we have to give to take, even though we think we are taking the right choices.
The second verse emphasizes the feeling of hopelessness and not really knowing what is going on. The lyrics suggest a lack of control over one's life, as everything seems to be going wrong. The chorus repeats a series of lines that talk about singing without any true purpose or hope, possibly representing nonchalant acceptance that life is a series of occurrences without true meaning.

Picking up on the signals
Noticing the hints and clues
Sent back from within
Messages that have arisen from within ourselves
Sometimes it feels like I don't really know what's going on
Occasionally the singer is confused and doesn't understand the situation
Time and time again it seems like everything is wrong in here
Continuously, it seems as though everything is going wrong
But we sing
But we still create and express ourselves
Sing without a reason to ever fall in love
We still sing without having a purpose to avoid the pain of falling in love again
