Last Song
Theory of a Deadman Lyrics

The last song
The singer is expressing their regret over missing out on something important.

The light that's in your eyes, like everyone wants it to be Well can't you see that it must be this way Who knows who's wrong or right Just as long as you're here tonight Just like my mother, always taking my likings away When nobody's watching us
The singer sees the desire in someone's eyes that they believe is universal but knows it's necessary for it to be this way. They express that it doesn't matter who has the right opinion as long as they are together. They compare this to their mother always taking away their desired objects when no one is watching.

I missed the last song I blame myself for just standing there too long I missed the last song I blame myself for just standing there
The singer missed something important and regrets it. They blame themselves for not being proactive enough or for wasting too much time.

I miss the love, I miss the holidays I miss my best friend, cheap cigars, stupid kids and movie stars And just like my father, always taking my likings away When nobody's watching us
The artist misses the feeling of love and togetherness that holidays bring. They also miss simple pleasures like spending time with their best friend, smoking cheap cigars, and watching movies. They compare their father to their mother and express how he also takes away their desires when no one is watching.

Why does it feel like this world is just not for us Why does it feel like this world's all they've got for us Why does it feel like nobody's watching us
The artist expresses their disillusionment with the world and the feeling that they don't belong here. They feel like the world only offers them limited opportunities and that no one is observing or caring about their struggles.

I missed her sweet smell, I miss it everyday I miss my best friend, cheap cigars, stupid kids and moviestars And I missed the last song and I miss you And this time this one's for us
The singer misses someone who had a pleasant scent and their best friend. They express that they missed out on something important and also miss the person they are addressing. They reveal that this time something important is happening, and it is for them.

I missed the last song I blame myself for just standing there too long I missed the last song I blame myself for just standing there too long I missed the last song I missed the last song I missed the last song I missed the last song
Repeating the earlier lines, the singer continues to express their regret over missing something important and taking responsibility for their inaction.
