Last Resort
Richard Cheese Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

If you ever leave me, baby,
Leave some morphine at my door
'Cause it would take a whole lot of medication
To realize what we used to have,
We don't have it anymore.

There's no religion that could save me
No matter how long my knees are on the floor

So keep in mind all the sacrifices I'm makin'
To keep you by my side
To keep you from walkin' out the door.

'Cause there'll be no sunlight
If I lose you, baby
There'll be no clear skies
If I lose you, baby
Just like the clouds
My eyes will do the same, if you walk away
Everyday it'll rain, rain, ra-a-a-ain

Sei que seu coração falou de mim
Sei que ele falou que eu tô fazendo falta
Ele falou também que sem mim tá difícil
As noitadas e os amigos não tão ajudando

Sei que seu coração gritou por mim
Na última moda sertaneja que o DJ tocou
Pra piorar era aquela que a gente dançava
A saudade bateu e você chorou
É, eu sei, tá difícil
E se me perguntar como sei tudo isso

É que eu também passei
Por esses maus bocados
Sofri, chorei, largado
E não te esqueci, não, não, não, não

Também passei
E te liguei bêbado fora de hora
Que nem cê tá fazendo agora
Ligando a cobrar
Chorando, querendo me amar

Por esses maus bocados
Sofri, chorei, largado
E não te esqueci, não, não, não, não

Também passei
E te liguei bêbado fora de hora
Que nem cê tá fazendo agora
Ligando a cobrar
Chorando, querendo

'Cause there'll be no sunlight
If I lose you, baby
There'll be no clear skies
If I lose you, baby
Just like the clouds

My eyes will do the same, if you walk away
Everyday it'll rain, rain, ra-a-a-ain

Overall Meaning

The Richard Cheese cover of "Last Resort" begins with a plea from the singer to their lover that if they ever leave, they should leave some morphine behind as it would take a lot of medication for them to realize what they once had together. The singer seems to be acknowledging the end of the relationship and admits that no religion or prayer could save them. Despite that, the singer expresses their commitment to making sacrifices and doing whatever it takes to keep their lover by their side and to prevent them from leaving.

The chorus repeats the same refrain that without the lover, there would be no sunlight, no clear skies, and just like the clouds, the singer's eyes would do the same if the lover walked away. This is a metaphor for the singer's emotional state and how their world feels like it's falling apart without the presence of their lover. The song touches on themes of heartbreak, desperation, and addiction.

Overall, Richard Cheese's cover of "Last Resort" captures the raw emotion and turmoil of a failed relationship. The lyrics express the intense levels of attachment and longing that the singer feels for their lost love, which is a relatable experience for many people who have gone through break-ups.

Line by Line Meaning

If you ever leave me, baby,
If you decide to walk out of my life,

Leave some morphine at my door
Leave some painkillers for me to deal with the heartache you'll cause

'Cause it would take a whole lot of medication
I know it'll take a lot to get over you

To realize what we used to have,
To understand how important what we had was

We don't have it anymore.
And sadly, we don't have it anymore

There's no religion that could save me
There's nothing that could help me cope with losing you

No matter how long my knees are on the floor
Even if I pray for hours on my knees, it won't change anything

So keep in mind all the sacrifices I'm makin'
Please remember all the things I'm doing to try and keep you here

To keep you by my side
I just want you to stay with me

To keep you from walkin' out the door.
I'm doing everything I can to prevent you from leaving me

'Cause there'll be no sunlight
My life will be dark and gloomy

If I lose you, baby
If I can't be with you anymore

There'll be no clear skies
I'll never see the bright side of life

Just like the clouds
Just like the rain clouds

My eyes will do the same, if you walk away
I'll cry and suffer if you leave me

Everyday it'll rain, rain, ra-a-a-ain
I'll be miserable every day without you
