Last Time
Echoes of Lost Love: Joy's For Loners' Heartfelt Farewell
Lyrics
(I guess you can remember when we went to the beach
Remembering a past moment at the beach.
Sit on the sand, and we tried to forget about everything.)
Sitting on the sand, trying to forget everything.
From there, that was the time
Referring to a specific time.
We saw eachother for last time
Last meeting or encounter with someone.
Even though it seemed not to be
Despite appearances, it was the final meeting.
And though I like to cry
Expressing a tendency to cry alone.
Myself to sleep on my own
Describing the act of crying oneself to sleep.
I thought you would
Expectation that the person would stay.
Still remain with me
Hope that the person would still be present.
Future seemed bright when you
Recalling a time when the future looked promising with the person.
Were still with me
The positive impact of the person's presence on the future.
But all that remains with me
All that remains are memories from the past.
Is just memories from a past time
Reflecting on memories, not expecting the other person to remember.
(That of course, I don't expect you to remember
Not expecting the other person to remember past events.
All these things happened years ago.)
Events discussed happened years ago.
Last time I checked
Checking the current state of being.
I was all alone
Feeling alone during the last check.
Last time I checked
Reiterating the sense of solitude from the last check.
I was all alone
Emphasizing the loneliness experienced.
I thought that I was oh
Realizing a past misconception or mistake.
So wrong
Recognition of being wrong about something.
Last time I checked
Reconfirming the current state of being alone.
I was on my own
Continuing to feel solitary.
Always feel like I'm stranger
Feeling like a stranger when looking in the mirror.
When I look at the mirror
Experiencing a sense of detachment or unfamiliarity with oneself.
And I try to tell myself "It's allright"
Attempting self-assurance and consolation.
It's so hard to understand that
Struggling to comprehend that it was just a dream.
It's all been a dream in my head
Realizing that everything was a figment of the imagination.
And I can't wake up
Unable to wake up from the dream.
But, I won't compell myself
Choosing not to force oneself to live in a world of falsehoods.
To live in a world full of lies
Resisting living a life filled with lies.
And I try to fill in the gaps
Attempting to fill emotional voids or gaps.
Last time I checked
Repeating the theme of solitude in the last check.
I was all alone
Reaffirming the feeling of aloneness.
Last time I checked
Stating the loneliness in the most recent check.
I was all alone
Reiterating the sense of being alone.
I thought that I was oh
Acknowledging a realization of personal error.
So wrong
Recognizing the gravity of the mistake made.
Last time I checked
Reconfirming the current state of being alone.
I was on my own
Continuing to experience solitude.
(Last time I checked I was...)
Repeating the realization of being alone in the last check.
(Last time I checked I was...)
Reiterating the acknowledgment of being alone in the last check.
