Tep No Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm walking out of line, line
No worries on my mind
I wanna feel you trying
It feels like we're the last ones standing
Woah, woah
Could you be the last one, to come in
And fill this heart of mine
Yeah
And fill this heart of mine
And fill this heart of mine
I'm bound to break a dime
I'll leave the past behind, hind
I got you on my mind
But baby it's your love that I'm afraid of
'Cause, feels like we're the last ones standing
Woah, woah
Baby, you're the last one, to come in
Woah,
And fill this heart of mine
We're the last ones standing
Woah, woah
Baby, you're the last one, to come in
Woah, woah
'Cause I found love in you
I found love in you, it's frightening, oh
Yeah I found hope in you
I found hope in you through the lightning
We will strike 'em down
We will strike 'em down (We're the last ones standing)
Whoah, whoah (we will strike 'em)
Baby, you're the last one, to come in
Whoah, whoah (We will strike 'em down)
In Tep No's song The Last Ones Standing, the singer describes feeling a strong connection with someone (“I feel you down my spine”), but also feeling like they are breaking societal norms (“I'm walking out of line”) and leaving their past behind (“I'll leave the past behind”). The singer expresses a desire to feel the other person putting effort into the relationship (“I wanna feel you trying”) and fears being vulnerable (“But baby it's your love that I'm afraid of”). Despite these fears, the singer believes that they are meant to be together in the end (“Could you be the last one, to come in / And fill this heart of mine”).
The chorus emphasizes the theme of being the "last ones standing" and the possibility that the other person could be the one to fill the singer's heart with love. This could mean that they feel a sense of isolation from others or society, but have a strong connection with this one person. The chorus repeats and emphasizes the importance of this potential relationship being the singer's last chance at finding love (“ Baby, you're the last one, to come in / And fill this heart of mine”).
The bridge of the song adds an interesting depth to the lyrics by introducing the symbol of lightning. The singer found love and hope in the other person amidst the uncertainty and unpredictability of life (“Yeah I found hope in you / I found hope in you through the lightning / We will strike 'em down”). This suggests that even though there may be fears and doubts in their relationship, their love can bring them strength and resilience to overcome challenges.
Overall, The Last Ones Standing portrays the complex mix of emotions that come with being vulnerable in a relationship, while emphasizing the transformative power of love.
