Last Train
Tiësto Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You and all the stars are making my heart glow, oh oh
Send me in tonight and free my heart and soul, oh oh, oh oh
Tried to stay awake to see the first eyed break, eh eh ey ey
This is all I ever could need to make the most of it
Falling into everything, holding onto one another
Trying to get along in this world full of inconsequence
Falling into everything, holding onto one another
You're on the last train home again
The last train home again
This is the last song played in vain
The last song played in vain
You're on the last train home again
The last train home again
This is the last song played in vain
The last song played in vain
Waiting for a sign to lead me down your road, oh oh
Walking through the Ages wondering where to go, oh oh
Think of all the words you whispered when we woke, oh oh, oh oh
Light up all the sky and know my warm embrace, eh eh, ey ey
This is all I ever could need to make the most of it
Falling into everything, holding onto one another
Trying to get along in this world full of inconsequence
Falling into everything, holding onto one another
You're on the last train home again
The last train home again
This is the last song played in vain
The last song played in vain
You're on the last train home again
The last train home again
This is the last song played in vain
The last song played in vain
“Last Train” by Tiësto is a song about holding on to the moment and the person you love as if it were the last time you’d ever see them. The lyrics suggest that the singer was once lost and unsure of where to go, but has now found direction thanks to their lover’s guidance. The verses talk about how the lover has changed the singer’s life and made them want to hold on tight to their companionship. The chorus, repeating the title phrase “last train home,” suggests that they want to savor every moment they have with this person as if it were their last.
The line “Trying to get along in this world full of inconsequence” serves as a reminder of the fleeting nature of life and how it’s important to find someone to share the journey with. Throughout the song, there is a sense of urgency and desperation for more time with the person they love. The imagery of the "last train home" and "last song played in vain" highlights not only the end of the night but the end of the time together.
In essence, the song is about love, passion, and finding someone who makes life worth the journey. It is a reminder to cherish the moments we have with the people who matter most to us and to live in the present.

This song (and many of Tiësto's songs) have helped me get through some really dark, rough patches in life. Could listen to this over and over again.

This song is the song that made me year, it brought me smiles, it brought me tears, it brought my realisation, it brought me emotion. I never understood the song fully until I realised that the actions in this video are so similar to things I have done others so many times without even a thought. And realised that sometimes it just takes one kind moment, to pass it on to another, if only everyone was so beautiful and so caring the world would be a better place. Tiesto's latest album is the BEST dance album I have ever heard and it is all I listen to over and over and over every day and never tire of it one bit. Tiesto you make the most amazing music my ears have ever listened to, so upbeat, but not only that so POSITIVE because reality is that we live in a world surrounded by negativity in our media, our radios, our magazines and everywhere we go.... we need people like you to keep you going. I could listen to this song on repeat all day long and never tire of it. Such talent and so cleverly constructed video. LOVE IT!!!
