LAST STAGE
THE ALFEE Lyrics

The lyrics of THE ALFEE's song "LAST STAGE" reflect the emotions and struggles of an artist on a narrow stage, constantly putting on a fake smile to soothe their shattered heart. They trade their genuine emotions for a bottle of water, implying that they have become a commodity, giving away pieces of themselves in exchange for superficial comfort. The artist questions the purpose behind sacrificing their heart and wonders why they have been sharpening their emotions. They express how time slips away as they sing their dreams and find themselves in the cold wind, watching the sunset on a twilight street, reminiscent of burnt-out love. The lyrics convey a deep sense of loneliness, with the artist crying for everyone and their overflowing tears becoming a symbol of their pain. They declare that it will be the last stage where they will no longer sing the song of love.

The song touches on themes of love, repeated failures, and the weight of pain being poured into their music. The lyrics suggest that the artist is unable to return to a past summer and is left with distant memories and melodies that can never be replicated. They gaze at the starry sky as if praying, yearning for a heart that can never be satisfied. The artist longs for a place to heal their tired body, finding solace in the listener's heart. In the depths of their being, they feel the grip of dreams and the loss of love, causing a constant turmoil. Despite their declaration not to sing the song of love anymore, they acknowledge that they will continue to sing in the listener's heart. The passionate soul within them will burn quietly until the last stage, where they hope to meet the listener again.
