Last You Heard of Me
Reflections on Lost Moments: Last You Heard of Me
Lyrics
Found myself down at the Alibi
Visiting the Alibi, a location, possibly a bar or a place of escape
For the second time this year
Returning to the Alibi for the second time within the year
Wrote my song down, gave it to the guy
Writing a song and handing it over to someone, perhaps a musician or a figure related to music
Then went to grab another beer
Afterward, getting another beer
Sonia's going to the parking lot
Sonia heading to the parking lot, presumably to smoke marijuana
Probably gonna smoke some weed
Anticipation that Sonia will engage in smoking weed
I'd go with but I don't touch the stuff
The narrator refrains from using drugs except when wanting to sleep
Unless I wanna go to sleep
Drug use limited to aiding sleep
You step outside to have a cigarette
Observing someone going out to smoke
Smokers crowd into the street
People gathering in the street for smoking
Digging through your purse for matches when
Searching for matches in a purse
For a second our eyes meet
Eye contact between the narrator and another person in the midst of this
And in the moment I see everything
A moment of profound realization or understanding
Start to finish, sad defeat
Comprehension of a series of events leading to a sorrowful conclusion
Shivering, lying naked next to you
Recollection of an intimate, vulnerable moment of lying naked next to someone
And that's the last you heard of me
Implying that the mentioned event was the last significant interaction with that person
And that's the last you heard of me
Emphasizing again the finality of the mentioned interaction or relationship
And that's the last you heard of me
Repetition to reinforce the idea of being absent or silent thereafter
And that's the last you heard of me
Continued emphasis on the conclusion or absence in the relationship or interaction
