Their general spirit of freedom, ridicule and genuine love of the art of making a pleasing noise, harks back to a bygone era, before music ate music...
The Feast
The Last Detail Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
and the people gather here
the bitter way we all have seen
is buried in the past
in the hallway and in the rooms
the feast is here it last
so make your move and don't wait too long
because it’s ending soon
We came along to feel the heat
and to make this life a new
I am the fool who’s making jokes
and observe the other guests,
like Prince Charming and Father G.
they're all here to amuse us,
set your sights and don’t wait too long
because it’s ending soon
The world is on the other stage
and we find ourselves in a big white circle,
yes, we will see another day
on this long cold winter,
so make your move and don’t wait too long
we're almost gone
the moment that we share tonight
is the one that makes us blind.
The masquerade will be a success
and the people gather here
the bitter way we all have seen
is buried in the past
in the hallway and in the rooms
the feast is here it last
so make your move and don't wait too long
because it’s ending soon
The world is on the other stage
and we find ourselves in a big white circle,
yes, we will see another day
on this long cold winter,
so make your move and don’t wait too long
we're almost gone
the moment that we share tonight
is the one that makes us blind.
The Last Detail's song, The Feast, is a song about experiencing the euphoria of a party and the fleeting nature of life. The lyrics describe a masquerade party where people gather to have a good time and forget the bitter experiences from their past. The singer encourages the guests to make their move and not wait too long because the party is ending soon. In the second verse, the singer describes observing the other guests, including Prince Charming and Father G, who are there to amuse them. The song then takes a somewhat somber turn as the singer muses on the transience of life. The world is on another stage and they are in a big white circle, but even though they will see another day, the moment that they share tonight is the one that makes them blind.
Overall, the song seems to be about seizing the moment and enjoying life while it lasts. The metaphor of the masquerade party is used to represent the frivolity and pleasure that life can offer, but also highlights the idea that it is a temporary escape from the struggles and hardships of reality.
