Last Days
Paul Maged Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Or run while your will is still free
Follow me down toward the end of my rope
Or are you afraid you'll believe?
It's fading the light
In this drowned out dream
Say goodbye love
Say goodbye to the stain that carries all your pain
Is this everything? Yeah
Last day for a fight. the Last Days of our lives
You cast your fate in stone
Times drifting away and your new world awaits
Are you happier now that you're home?
Will the depths of despair
Beat the glimmer of hope?
Say goodbye love
Say goodbye love
Say goodbye to the stain that carries all your pain
Is this everything? Yeah
Is this everything? Yeah
Say goodbye love
Say goodbye love
Part the seas
We are falling
Let go of me
I am fading into the night
Say goodbye
Will the depths of despair
Beat the glimmer of hope?
Say goodbye love
Say goodbye love
Say goodbye to the stain that carries all your pain
Is this everything? Yeah
Is this everything? Yeah
Is this everything? Yeah (say goodbye love, say goodbye love)
Is this everything? Yeah (say goodbye love, say goodbye love)
Say goodbye love
The song "Last Days" by Paul Maged appears to be a melancholic contemplation of life, death, and the human struggle with despair and hope. The opening lines, "Follow me down, follow me down, or run while your will is still free," suggest the idea of the singer leading the listener towards a certain end, but also giving them the freedom to choose their own path. This could signify a struggle with the inevitability of death, as we all ultimately face the same fate, but we can still choose how we live our lives until that end arrives.
The next lines, "It’s fading the light in this drowned out dream," seem to suggest a sense of hopelessness or a feeling of being overwhelmed by life's difficulties. The repeated refrain of "Say goodbye love," could be interpreted in different ways - it could signify letting go of a past love, a farewell to life, or a letting go of pain and sorrow. The lines "Part the seas, we are falling, let go of me, I am fading into the night," further emphasize the idea of inevitability vs. free will, as the singer appears to be struggling against fate and the pull towards the unknown darkness of death.
In the final verse, the repeated question "Will the depths of despair beat the glimmer of hope?" perhaps encapsulates the main theme of the song. Is there still a chance for hope and happiness in the face of despair and sorrow, or are we doomed to be swallowed up by darkness? The song appears to leave this question unanswered, leaving the listener to ponder their own interpretation.
