In 2004 she signed a publishing deal with Universal Music Publishing Group and a recording contract with American rock band Linkin Park’s Warner Bros. Records’ label imprint, Machine Shop Recordings. She would later release her debut album, Like Blood Like Honey, under the labels in 2006.

Skylar Grey Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Na-na-na-na, na-na, na-na-na-na
Someone's gonna get hurt
Na-na-na-na, na-na, na-na-na-na
And it's not gonna be me
Good morning gorgeous
I drove your truck in the lake last night
Don't worry, I slept just fine
You keep throwing punches but you won't win this fight
You're just fucking yourself when you don't read the signs
I'm going to the kitchen, coming back with a knife
'Cause I've had enough this time
This is your final warning
There's a dark cloud overhead
This is your final warning
Just remember what I said
Someone's gonna get hurt
Na-na-na-na, na-na, na-na-na-na
Someone's gonna get hurt, na-na-na-na
And it's not gonna be me
Good afternoon dear
How does the rope feel around your neck?
Just one more error
Could be a fatal step
You keep throwing punches but you won't win this fight
You're just fucking yourself when you don't read the signs
I'm going to the kitchen, coming back with a knife
'Cause I've had enough this time
This is your final warning
There's a dark cloud overhead
This is your final warning
Just remember what I said
Someone's gonna get hurt
Na-na-na-na, na-na, na-na-na-na
Someone's gonna get hurt, na-na-na-na
And it's not gonna be me
'Cause you're the one thing
You are, you are the one thing
'Cause you're the one thing
You are, you are
This is your final warning
There's a dark cloud overhead
This is your final warning
Just remember what I said
Someone's gonna get hurt
Na-na-na-na, na-na, na-na-na-na
Someone's gonna get hurt, na-na-na-na
And it's not gonna be me
'Cause you're the one thing
You are, you are the one thing
'Cause you're the one thing
You are, you are the one thing
The song "Final Warning" by Skylar Grey is a haunting warning to someone who has pushed the singer to their limit. The lyrics are intense and describe a situation that has become dangerous. The first verse sets the mood and tells us that "someone's gonna get hurt," but it's not going to be the singer. The second verse gets even darker when she asks how the rope feels around the person's neck. She is clearly fed up with the situation and is prepared to take action to protect herself.
The chorus says "this is your final warning," indicating that the singer has been pushed to her limit and is ready to take drastic measures. She wants the person to remember what she's saying and understand the gravity of the situation. She repeats that "someone's gonna get hurt" but emphasizes that it won't be her.
The final part of the song is a repetition of the chorus, with the addition of the lines "you are the one thing." This could be interpreted as the person realizing that they are the source of the problem and that they need to take responsibility for their actions before it's too late.
Overall, "Final Warning" is a powerful song that touches on themes of self-preservation and standing up for oneself when pushed too far.

Good morning gorgeous
I drove your truck in the lake last night
Hope she was worth it
Don't worry, I slept just fine
Günaydın, kusursuz
Dün gece kamyonunu gölün içine sürdüm
Umarım o buna değmiştir
Endişelenme, iyi uyudum
You keep throwing punches but you won't win this fight
You're just fucking yourself when you don't read the signs
I'm going to the kitchen, coming back with a knife
Cause I've had enough this time
Yumruklar savurmaya devam ediyorsun ama bu kavgayı kazanamayacaksın
İşaretleri okumadığında kendine zarar veriyorsun
Mutfağa gidip, bir bıçakla geri döneceğim
Çünkü bu sefer yeteri kadar anladım

Yukarıda karanlık bir bulut var
Bu senin son uyarın
Sadece ne söylediğimi hatırla
Birinin canı yanacak

İyi akşamlar hayatım,
Boynundaki ip nasıl hissettiriyor?
Tek bir hata daha
Ölümcül adım olabilir
You keep throwing punches but you won't win this fight
You're just fucking yourself when you don't read the signs
I'm going to the kitchen, coming back with a knife
Cause I've had enough this time
Yumruklar savurmaya devam ediyorsun ama bu kavgayı kazanamayacaksın
İşaretleri okumadığında kendine zarar veriyorsun
Mutfağa gidip, bir bıçakla geri döneceğim
