Last Train To Forever
Télépopmusik & Angela McCluskey Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Hanging out with strangers that's the way that we begin
Staring at the sun, thinking it's the moon,
A tiny indication it's gonna happen soon.
But not like you expect these silhouettes are getting closer
They bring you what you need never what you hope for.
I guess by now they shoulda told ya
I guess by now they're getting closer.
There's so many things I just don't wanna say,
Like have you got the stuff I need a good day
There's so many things I just don't wanna do
But your way is my way so walk on through
Did you get the letter, the one I never sent ya
I'm all alone on my own misadventure, seeking something
That I don't wanna find, cos if I do there's no rewind.
Spraying our names on the trains in silver and black
Then I make my way back across the tracks
I can always find you wherever you are
There's fire in your eyes in the miracle park
I'm on the very last train to wherever, reckon that
I'll see you sometime like never, not even in
My wildest did I think that it would go like this,
Moving through the air, crazy kinda poet kid
I owe you this I say to myself
I owe you this and nothing else
The lyrics of "Last Train to Forever" reflect the experience of wandering through life without a clear direction or purpose. The reference to spending days "translucent" highlights a feeling of being disconnected from reality and not fully present in one's surroundings. The line "hanging out with strangers that's the way that we begin" suggests a desire for connection, however fleeting or superficial. The singer seems to be searching for something, represented by the silhouettes that are getting closer but never bring what is hoped for. The reference to "spraying our names on the trains in silver and black" can be interpreted as an act of rebellion or marking territory, and the singer's willingness to cross the tracks and seek out the other person shows an eagerness for connection.
The lyrics also contain a sense of regret and missed opportunities. The line "did you get the letter, the one I never sent ya" implies a remorse for not having expressed oneself to the person in question sooner. The phrase "seeking something that I don't wanna find, cos if I do there's no rewind" highlights a hesitation to move forward, possibly out of fear of what may be discovered or lost. The idea of owing someone something stems from a desire to make amends or show gratitude, but the lack of specificity suggests a feeling of indebtedness without a clear way to repay it.
Overall, the lyrics capture a feeling of restlessness and longing for connection, even if it is fleeting or uncertain. The imagery of trains and graffiti evoke a sense of movement and transience, highlighting the impermanence of life and the fleeting nature of human connections.
