Sambassadeur from Göteborg started out in the small town of Skövde in the autumn 2003 where Joachim, Daniel P, and Anna found themselves studying. The three sambassadeurs got together as they found out that their taste in music were quite the same. The band of Sambassadeur began one night at Joachim’s small apartment where Daniel and Joachim had got together for recording a song. Despite the fact that they were too shy to even look at each other when first playing their songs, the short session resulted in the recording of the song “There you go”.
Later that autumn, Daniel T, a friend of Joachim from Göteborg, joined the band and the days of searching for a bass player were over. After realizing the band having three shows coming up in the spring, Sambassadeur decided to actually start rehearsing. The first show took place at Klubb Mono at Bommens Salonger in Göteborg, and afterwards the band realized their line up with three guitars, one bass, two singers and a CD taking care of the beats actually was working. Now all of the sambassadeurs are living in Göteborg and after releasing two cd-r´s on their own and a 7” single at Dolores recordings, they have found their home on Labrador.
Final Say
Sambassadeur Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I guess they're coming to the chorus now
I really hope they're better this time
'Cause we use to see them through somehow
Remote is what they get from me
I keep my distance trying to believe
Believing is the key they say
I've been watching how they do know
Working overtime for you now
Always ready on standby
Can't believe how hard they try
There's no time for disagreeing
When the scene is so deceiving
Something's lost and nothing's gained
This is my final say
It's hard to be the last to show
Anticipation is so hard to see
If you know don't let it show
Think it over and come back to me
When it's over, when it's done
We'll be together, we will be as one
I feel that I'm back on thin ice
When I look into their eyes
I've been watching how they do know
Working overtime for you now
Always ready on standby
Can't believe how hard they try
There's no time for disagreeing
When the scene is so deceiving
Something's lost and nothing's gained
This is my final say
The Sambassadeur's song Final Say is a thought-provoking track about the complexities that arise when one person's decisions impact another's life. The lyrics suggest that the singer is not entirely confident about how the people in the crowd are going to react to the chorus this time around. Still, the overall tone of the song suggests that he is tired of trying to encourage them to do better. He states that "Remote is what they get from me," suggesting that he is distancing himself from the crowd because he feels that they are not living up to their potential.
The chorus is where the song's main message lies - "There's no time for disagreeing, when the scene is so deceiving, Something's lost and nothing's gained, This is my final say." It seems that the singer is tired of the pretense and facade that people in his life are putting on. He has seen through their facade and is convinced that nothing can be gained from them. He is making a stand for himself and declaring this as his final say. Overall, the song's lyrics show the singer as someone who is willing to take a stance for his own beliefs, even if it means distancing himself from others.
