Last Stand
stabbed Lyrics

The lyrics of Stabbed's song Last Stand seem to convey a story of betrayal and deception. The singer seems to be addressing someone who has led him into a dead end, leaving him to face his ultimate demise alone. The opening line of "hold your head up high" seems to be an encouragement to keep going despite the pain and obstacles, while "to the lights in disguise" appears to suggest a yearning for something concealed or mysterious. The use of "broken glass" creates a sense of danger, as if the singer is treading carefully in a hostile environment.

The truth behind "your smile" leaves the singer "paralysed" suggesting that the once beautiful and soothing smile has now become a source of pain and misfortune. The lines "what if I could break the ties that bind" and "I could take it all black" signify a desire for freedom and a willingness to face the consequences of breaking free. The use of the phrase "another man" suggests that the person being referred to has moved on and is no longer faithful to the singer.

The chorus is quite potent and emotional, with the singer warning that the other person will end up dead before they even know it. The repeated plea to "turn the dagger in my back" is an invitation for the other person to finish what they started to end the singer's suffering. The final lines of the song create a sense of hopelessness, loneliness and despair with the singer taking one last look while the other person turns away.
