Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Stand the man
I'm seeing in the mirror
I try, I try to get my mind right
But it never gets much clearer
Maybe I should see somebody
'Cause I can't keep this up
Is telling me to stop
All my friends they left me for dead
And I don't have a clue where I am
I lost my keys, now all I got left
Is ten missed calls and one last cigarette
All my friends they hate me again
I get too drunk when I get depressed
I lost my shit now all I got left
Is ten missed calls and one last cigarette
I can't, I can't, I can't
Pay the rent 'cause I wasted all money
I try, I try to laugh off my life
But lately it's not funny
Maybe I should see somebody
'Cause I can't keep this up
Everything inside my body
Is telling me to stop
All my friends they left me for dead
And I don't have a clue where I am
I lost my keys, now all I got left
Is ten missed calls and one last cigarette
All my friends they hate me again
I get too drunk when I get depressed
I lost my shit now all I got left
Is ten missed calls and one last cigarette
All my friends they left me for dead
And I don't have a clue where I am
I lost my keys, now all I got left
Is ten missed calls and one last cigarette
All my friends they hate me again
I get too drunk when I get depressed
I lost my shit now all I got left
Is ten missed calls and one last cigarette
All my friends they hate me again
I lost my shit now all I got left
Is ten missed calls and one last cigarette
Maybe I should see somebody
'Cause I can't keep this up
Everything inside my body
Is telling me to stop
The Band CAMINO's "1 Last Cigarette" is a raw and honest depiction of a person who is struggling to keep up with life's demands. The song's opening lines "I can't, I can't, I can't, stand the man I'm seeing in the mirror" immediately convey the singer's feelings of self-loathing and helplessness. The verse goes on to describe how the character tries to find a way out of the mental and emotional distress, but to no avail. He talks about the need to seek help, but the singer seems to be trapped in a vicious cycle, where he is unable to break free from his destructive habits.
The chorus of the song emphasizes the main theme of the track: the singer's feeling of isolation and alienation from his group of friends, who have left him to his own devices. He is left wandering aimlessly, lost and confused, with just one last cigarette and ten missed calls. The second verse builds on this theme, revealing that the singer has lost control of his life and is unable to pay his rent or find any meaning in his life. He again talks about how he needs help, but even he knows that he can't keep this up anymore.
The song addresses various themes, including addiction, depression, and loneliness. It serves as a poignant reminder that sometimes we need to seek help when we are faced with mental and emotional challenges. The Band CAMINO's melodic and straightforward style of songwriting combined with their powerful and soulful performance makes "1 Last Cigarette" a powerful and introspective musical exploration of a person's mental and emotional struggles.
