Last Kiss
When Came April Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

THERE IS A WAR IN MY HEAD THAT I CAN'T WIN
SO I HAVE SHOWN THE WHITE LONG TIME AGO
I AM IN MY PRISON LOCKED AND I CAN'T FLEE
MY BACKGROUND SHADOWS ME ANYWHERE I GO

IN MY FOUR WALLS OF DISTRESS I LOST MYSELF
AND I AM LOOKING FOR THE ANSWERS TO MY PAIN
I AM A MEMBER OF THE FELLOWSHIP OF SADNESS
I KNOW THAT MY LAST TATTERS OF HOPE ARE SLAIN

IT TEARS ME INTO PIECES
NO ONE CAN CATCH ME WHEN I FALL
NO TIME WITHOUT A THOUGHT ABOUT
WHAT WAS HAPPENING LAST TIME

SLEEPLESS NIGHTS AND SENSELESS TEARS
USELESS FIGHTS AND FUTURE FEARS
I WILL TELL YOU WHAT IT'S LIKE TO BE ALONE
I CAN TELL YOU ALL THESE THINGS YOU DIDN'T KNOW
I DID NOT SAY EVERY WORD YOU WANNA HEAR
ABOUT THE FEELINGS THAT I'VE HAD WHEN I WAS NEAR... BY YOU
I ALWAYS HOPED THERE IS SUN BEHIND THIS CLOUD
THAT ONE DAY YOU WILL TAKE ME TIGHT BY MY HAND
WHAT I REGRET TILL THE END OF MY WHOLE LIFE
I DID FORGET OUR LAST KISS

I AM TRYING TO FORGET IT
MAYBE I AM TRYING TO HATE
JUST FOR SECONDS I CAN FLY
BEFORE REALITY STRIKES BACK

SLEEPLESS NIGHTS AND SENSELESS TEARS
USELESS FIGHTS AND FUTURE FEARS
WERE THEY RIGHT THE DECISIONS THAT I'D MADE (WHAT DO I FEEL)
COULD IT BE, PAIN, SORROW OR JUST HATE (I CAN'T CONCEAL)




IT IS LIKE, I KILLED MYSELF AND DIED (IT SEEMS UNREAL)
I KNOW THAT I HAVE LOST MY FIGH

Overall Meaning

The song Last Kiss by When Came April is a hauntingly beautiful portrayal of a person who is trapped in their own mind and suffering from the pain of lost love. The lyrics speak of a constant war in their head that they know they can't win. The person has given up trying and has shown the "white" flag a long time ago. They feel trapped in their own prison cell and can't seem to escape from the pain that seems to follow them wherever they go.


The song speaks of a deep sense of loneliness, sleepless nights, and senseless tears that seem to have no end. The person feels like they have lost themselves in the four walls of their distress and they are looking for answers but can't seem to find any. They are a member of the fellowship of sadness and know that their last tatters of hope are gone. The person feels like they are torn into pieces, falling and no one can catch them. They are desperately trying to forget their pain and trying to hate but the reality always strikes back.


The song speaks from the perspective of a person who has lost a relationship and regrets never being able to forget their last kiss. They had always hoped that there was a sun behind the cloud and that one day they would be taken tight by their partner's hand. The lyrics speak of a person who can tell so much about their feelings and their pain but never said everything their partner wanted to hear.

now THAT is how you write an actor out of the show without destroying the character's integrity.

Shelby Chaney

YESSSSS thank you!!! I'm grateful for it because like everyone, I always rooted for Japril, but this episode really shows how lazy the writers got when it came to giving any sort of closure for Izzy/Alex/Eva/Riggs/Hahn/etc

Demon

first time for greys anatomy tho lol

M MG

@Demon I don’t know about that. Arizona’s exit, for instance, made sense both personally and professionally for the character.

Demon

@M MG ohh lol I totally forget about that... 💓💓

Sarah Swomley

@M MG it did, but it was all one-sided, we weren't able to see Callie

I don’t care what anyone says these 2 were meant for each-other and by far the best relationship on the entire show
