The meaning of the lyrics of the song "The Last Time" by the artist "Within Temptation"

Contents

The song "The Last Time" by Within Temptation tells the story of a painful break-up with a person consumed by self-destructive behavior. The lyrical heroine tried for a long time to help him, to close her eyes to his "demons" - problems, addictions, negative traits. She believed that she could "save" him, but eventually realizes that he chooses to remain captive to his weaknesses, "in love with them to death."

The lyrics vividly express despair and acceptance: "Now I know for the last time / I tried to lift you up and inspire you to fight". The heroine realizes her powerlessness in the face of her beloved's choice and decides to let him go, to remove the veil from her eyes: "My eyes were blinded / And I didn't see you justifying / Yourself for everything you lost in this life".

The chorus of the song is a farewell and a bitter hope that he will change his mind before it's too late: "Life is the choice you make, / I hope you wake up before it's too late...".

For so long I've tried

Could not close my eyes

when you became an outcast in this life

Again and again I try

to understand the demons inside your head

But the truth is

you love them to death

[Chorus:]

Now I know it's the last time I have tried

to lift you up, to make you fight

Nothing is ever easy in life

I can't change it if you don't

have the will deep inside

I have been blind to

how you justify

everything that you've wasted in this life

Got lost in the illusion

I'd find a solution for the demons in your head

But the truth is

you love them to death

[Chorus]

You can blame and you can hide

behind what is wrong and what is right

Life is the choices we make

I hope you'll awake before it's too late

[Chorus]
