Last Song
Tamzene Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Out of words
Never learned not to sing your name again
'Cause it hurts, never works
So you've brought me to the end

Now you look like a stranger
Why are you holding on to the past?
This is your last song
Threw it on the fire with the rest
This is the last time I let your melody in my head
I put my heart and my soul on the pages
But now they're fading
Last song, I hope you understand

You were trouble, always trouble
Everything you put me through
Couldn't see that side of you
Now you look like a stranger

Now you look like a stranger
Why are you holding on to the past?

This is your last song
Threw it on the fire with the rest
This is the last time I let your melody in my head
I put my heart and my soul on the pages
But now they're fading
Last song, I hope you understand

You didn't listen to my love songs
Didn't appreciate my words
I'll let you miss them now that I'm gone

This is your last song
Threw it on the fire with the rest
This is the last time I let your melody in my head
I put my heart and my soul on the pages
But now they're fading
Last song, I hope you understand

This is your last song
Threw it on the fire with the rest
This is the last time I let your melody in my head
I put my heart and my soul on the pages
But now they're fading
Last song, I hope you understand





This is your last, last song
This is your last song, I hope you understand

Overall Meaning

The song “Last Song” by Tamzene explores the theme of letting go of a toxic relationship. The opening lyrics “Out of words, never learned not to sing your name again, 'Cause it hurts, never works” suggest that despite the singer’s painful experience with this person, they cannot help but think of them and their past together. However, the repetition of the line “Now you look like a stranger” indicates that the person the singer is addressing has changed and is no longer recognizable to them. The lyrics carry an emotional tone of regret and confusion, as the singer struggles with questioning why this person is still holding onto the past.


The chorus, “This is your last song, threw it on the fire with the rest, This is the last time I let your melody in my head, I put my heart and my soul on the pages, But now they’re fading, Last song, I hope you understand,” serves as a declaration of ending things and letting go of their connection. The last line of the song, “This is your last, last song, This is your last song, I hope you understand,” is a final statement to the person, conveying that there is no going back and this is the final goodbyes between the two.
