Lyrics
Crippled anger from a crippled brain
Expresses feelings of intense anger stemming from a troubled or impaired mind.
Crippled footsteps through a crippled train
Describes the difficulty of moving forward, possibly in life, due to inner struggles.
Bloody headwound leaves a bloody stain
Symbolizes a physical injury that has caused a visible mark or sign.
On a raincoat smelling from the rain
Highlights a raincoat, possibly as a metaphor for protection, marked by the aftermath of rain, indicating exposure to difficult situations.
It's the last train, it's the last train home
Repetitive lines emphasizing the finality of a journey, possibly reflecting a sense of inevitability or closure.
It's the last train, it's the last train home
-Knees together handbag nicely perched
Depicts a woman in a composed manner despite being let down by her significant other.
Her dateline boyfriend left her in the lurch
Her boyfriend has abandoned or disappointed her at a crucial time.
Through the window she keeps her constant stare
Illustrates her persistent gaze out of the window, possibly signifying hope or longing.
Which is funny because there's nothing there
Contrasts her unwavering gaze with the irony that there might not be anything worth staring at.
It's the last train, it's the last train home
Reiteration emphasizing the finality of the train journey, possibly hinting at the finality of situations in life.
It's the last train, it's the last train home
-The carriage lurches like the drunken man
Compares the movement of the train to that of a drunk person, possibly signifying instability or disorder.
Swaying sideways through the wasteland
Describes the train's movement through an area devoid of purpose or value.
While never flinching the wheels keep tight reign
Compares the steady movement of the train's wheels to the girl's resilience in enduring pain.
Like the girl, like the girl, staring through the pain
It's the last train, it's the last train home
Repeated lines emphasizing the finality of the journey, perhaps hinting at seeking solace or a sense of belonging at home.
It's the last train, it's the last train home
-But is that any comfort, is that any comfort?
Ponders if the certainty of reaching home provides any emotional relief or comfort despite the turmoil.
But is that any comfort, is that any comfort?
