One Last Time
Pipo & Elo Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Nicholas:
(Present)
It doesn't make any sense
This tragic ending
In spite of the evidence
There's something still missing

Heard some of the rumors told
A taste of one's wealth
Did Victoria wound his soul?
Did she bid him farewell?

Victoria:
(Past)
One last time
We'll lay down today
One last time
Until we fade away
One last time
We'll lay down today
One last time
We slowly fade away
Away

Nicholas:
(Present)
Here I am inside his home
It holds the many clues
To my suspicions
And as I'm standing here right now
I'm finally shown what I have always known

Coincidence I can't believe
As my childhood dreams slowly come true

Are these her memories?
Awakened through my eyes
This house has brought back to life

An open door
I walk on through
Into his bedroom

Feeling as cold as outside
The walls disappear
To some woman who's screaming




A man pleads forgiveness
His words I cannot hear

Overall Meaning

The song "One Last Time" by Pipo & Elo is a narrative between two characters, Nicholas and Victoria, where Nicholas is trying to unravel the mystery of Victoria's death. The lyrics are divided into two time frames - past and present. At the present frame, Nicholas is wandering around Victoria's home trying to find clues and unravel the truth behind her death. However, despite having a lot of evidence, Nicholas still feels that something is amiss. He hears rumors that maybe Victoria hurt him, or maybe she bid him farewell. In the past frame, Victoria sings about having one last time with someone until they fade away, which leads to the inference that it is possibly her last moments with Nicholas.


As Nicholas continues to explore Victoria's home, he discovers various items that might be her memories or have some connection to her, and the house slowly brings her back to life. As he walks into the man's bedroom, he hears a woman screaming as if someone was pleading for forgiveness. However, he can't comprehend what the man is asking for.


The song is intriguing and keeps the audience at the edge of their seats as they try to connect the dots and piece together what might have happened. The pace of the song is slow, and the melancholic tone aptly portrays the emotions of the characters.

Awakened through my eyes
Coming alive in my perception


This house has brought back to life
This residence has revived


An open door
An unlocked gateway


I walk on through
I step forward


Into his bedroom
Entering his sleeping quarters


Feeling as cold as outside
Sensing the same chill as the outdoors


The walls disappear
The barriers vanish


To some woman who's screaming
A female who is shouting


A man pleads forgiveness
A male begs for pardon


His words I cannot hear
His speech is inaudible
