Last Request
Sweatmaster Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Just want to sit next to you
Piss and Garlic
But it's something that you get used to
There comes a time when they sneer right at you
There comes a time they don't look at all
Send me the words God
Even forgive times
You didn't make my will come true
This is the big one; I've talked about this
This is the one and it won't let go
If I got fired, she'd still hold on to me
If I drank too much, she would'nt let me go
If I went crazy she'd pull me down gently
All things I've asked before
You should forget about them
Come now darling
You've heard all of these words before
I need to try to make them mean something
If you got fired, I'd still hold on to you
If you drank too much I wouldn't let you go
If you went crazy I'd pull you down gently
All things I've asked before
You should forget about them
The Sweatmaster's song "Last Request" tells a story about a relationship where the singer wants to sit next to his loved one and declares his willingness to tolerate unpleasant things like "piss and garlic" because he's become accustomed to it. The first few lines suggest that the relationship has changed over time, and there have been moments of doubt and disrespect. However, the singer asks for God's words and promises to believe in him, even if there have been times when he felt like his will was not met. He then declares that the present moment "is the big one" and that it won't let go.
The chorus suggests that the relationship is strong enough to endure the challenges that life throws at them. The singer says that he/she will still hold on to their partner even if they get fired or become an alcoholic, and that they would pull them down gently if they went crazy. The last line of the chorus is what ties everything together: "All things I've asked before, you should forget about them." Here, the singer acknowledges that there have been requests made in the past and that it's not necessary to hold on to them anymore. The chorus suggests that it's not about what has happened in the past or what could happen in the future, but it's about the present moment and the love that they share.
Overall, "Last Request" is an emotional ballad that conveys a sense of commitment, forgiveness, and understanding. It suggests that relationships go through ups and downs, but what matters is that the two people involved are willing to work through them.
