Last Chance
The Creepshow Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
To make it happen
You keep on falling behind
You look so sorry through my eyes
Well you've been pushing
More than you should've been
You've given up for the last time
Fooled so many with your lies
Your dust is clouding up in sight
(up in sight)
Seemed like a darker road with time
(road with time)
Can't always see
But I hear all the victims cry
Just watched you die another time
The time is coming
So done with running
To face the truth
And realize well it ain't working
Been given chances
So many chances
You've given up for the last time
Now take a breath
And close your eyes
Your dust is clouding up in sight
(up in sight)
Seemed like a darker road with time
(road with time)
Can't always see
But I hear all the victims cry
Just watched you die another time
Should have seen it coming
From the moment you let go
And thought there would be nothing left to lose
Watched it all go down
See it's burning now
And there ain't no one to blame but you
Your dust is clouding up in sight
(up in sight)
Seemed like a darker road with time
(road with time)
Can't always see
But I hear all the victims cry
Just watched you die another time
Just watched you die another time
The Creepshow's song "Last Chance" tells the story of a person who has let go of their last opportunity to make things right. The lyrics suggest that the singer has made mistakes and has been given multiple chances to rectify them, but failed to do so, resulting in the loss of trust and credibility from those around them. The line "You broke your last chance to make it happen" highlights the disappointment and frustration felt towards the singer.
The song goes on to portray the effects of the singer's actions on the people around them, as the dust clouds their sight and the victims cry. The line "Can't always see, but I hear all the victims cry" suggests that even though the consequences of their actions may not always be visible, they are nonetheless affecting those around them. The repetition of the line "just watched you die another time" adds weight to the fact that the singer has lost their chance and faces a bleak future.
Ultimately, the song is a warning to those who take their chances for granted and fail to make the most of the opportunities offered to them. It highlights the importance of taking responsibility for one's actions and learning from mistakes, rather than repeatedly making the same errors.
