One of our more somber tracks, Last Day Home is a new entry in our film noir-influenced narrative, it tells a story of deep frustration and extreme desperation. The song was written in a flash of inspiration by our guitarist who was going through tough times. This track’s violent guitar passages and growling vocals are meant to help vent the negativity and channel it to creative anger and rage, while ultimately offering some hints of optimism represented by melodic hooks and inspiring harmonies.
lyrics
[ch]
It's not a song it has no words
This is just my raw breath
It's not a song it has no chords
Just me surviving through this mess.
[1]
They fooled you once
You better run
Run like hell, for your life, don't stop
Don't lose your edge
Never look back
They just wait for your guard to drop.
Don't fall
Asleep
She's always out to get you
Not far
Right here
She's ready if you let her.
[2]
It was only the beginning
Don't expect to get off easy
This pain is here for you to keep
You know she's still not through with you
[ch]
It's not a song it has no words
This is just my raw breath
It's not a song it has no chords
Just me surviving through this mess.
[3]
Don't even start to hope or trust
any single word of excuse
Life is a slut, a femme fatale
Treat her well and you will be used
[ch]
It's not a song it has no words
This is just my raw breath
It's not a song it has no chords
Just me surviving through this mess.
[Bridge]
Have you ever felt as if nothing good
Ever comes your way?
Have you ever thought maybe all this time
You've been in a wrong place?
Have you ever felt as if running on
Backwards in this rat race?
Have you ever thought maybe all this time
There was no other way?
My last day home
[ch] x2
It's not a song it has no words
This is just my raw breath
It's not a song it has no chords
Just me surviving through this mess.
[Breakdown]
No more place to call my own.
This is my last day home.
