last november
MGK Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You didn't wake up today
I didn't get to see your face, mmm
Was it my fault? Was it karma?
Was your fate in the hands of my conscious?
'Cause you didn't wake up today, yeah

So sad we ended up here
So sad but everything's clear
Could I save your life if I pressed rewind?
I wish I could go back to November last year

One day in another ten weeks (one day in another ten weeks)
I never even got to hear your heartbeat (never even got to hear your heartbeat)
Last year feels like a past life (last year feels like a past life)
We said, "Forever," on the very first night, yeah

So sad we ended up here
So sad but everything's clear
Could I save your life if I pressed rewind?
I wish I could go back to November last year

Obviously I never wanted to write this song
Promise to me when the stars shine bright
You'll take a comet to me to show me you're still there
Eternally

So sad we ended up here
So sad but everything's clear
Tell me could I save your life if I pressed rewind?
I wish I could go back to November last year

When it was still so beautiful




It was so damn beautiful
Mmm, it was so damn beautiful

Overall Meaning

In the song "Last November" by MGK, the lyrics reflect on a sense of regret and longing for a past relationship that has ended tragically. The opening verse expresses the pain of not being able to see the person's face again, questioning if their fate was tied to the singer's actions or karma. The mention of not waking up today signifies the finality of the situation and hints at a sense of guilt or responsibility for the outcome.


The chorus highlights the deep sorrow and retrospection felt by the singer, wondering if they could have changed the course of events if given the chance to turn back time to November of the previous year. The lyrics convey a sense of helplessness and a desire to undo the pain and loss that occurred, creating a poignant and melancholic tone throughout the song.


The recurring theme of longing for the past and contemplating what could have been is further emphasized in the second verse, with the mention of never hearing the heartbeat of the person who is no longer there. The reference to a past life and the declaration of love on the first night adds layers to the emotional weight of the lyrics, underscoring the intensity of the connection that now feels distant and unattainable.


The closing lines of the song convey a bittersweet sentiment, with the singer expressing a desire to reconnect with the lost love in a celestial way, invoking imagery of stars and comets as symbols of eternal connection. The repeated refrain of wanting to go back to November serves as a poignant reminder of the beauty and happiness that once existed in the relationship, now tinged with sadness and longing. Overall, "Last November" captures the complexity of emotions tied to loss, regret, and the yearning for a return to a time when things were still beautiful, encapsulating a poignant reflection on love and loss.
