Last Transmission
Silence's Heartbreak: Last Transmission by Lines of Flight
Lyrics
It's the silence that breaks your heart
The absence of communication or response is emotionally painful.
Is there anyone out there
Expressing a sense of isolation and a yearning for connection.
Broadcasting live, Ac65
Reference to a live broadcast with the code "Ac65."
I know that when you lie awake tonight
Awareness of someone lying awake, suggesting shared experiences.
That we won't both see the same stars
Recognizing that shared experiences may not always be identical.
I'm fighting to keep the connection alive
Fighting to maintain a connection, possibly in a relationship.
I fear it's fading fast
A fear that the connection is weakening quickly.
Somehow hear me calling you
Desire for the other person to hear the emotional call.
Station to station
Reference to communication between stations or individuals.
Are you receiving me, over
Seeking confirmation of reception.
This is my last transmission
Announcing that this is the speaker's final message.
Can you hear me calling you
Repetition of the call for the other person to hear.
Station to station
Reiteration of station-to-station communication.
Are you receiving me, over
Repeating the request for acknowledgment.
This is my last transmission
Confirmation that this is the last communication.
Power down, wheels up
Powering down and departing, with potential data compromise.
I've left, data compromised
Abandoning a duty or position.
Abandoning my post so
Explaining the decision to leave and the consequences.
Finally we will look up the same skies
Hope for shared experiences in the future.
But when we lie awake at night
Recognizing potential differences even in shared moments.
And we still can't see the same stars
Continued acknowledgment of potential emotional distance.
We'll know the damage silence has done
Acknowledgment of the damage caused by silence.
It tore our together apart
Expressing the impact of silence on a relationship.
So now, hear me calling you
Repetition of the call for the other person to hear.
Station to station
Reiterating the station-to-station communication.
Are you receiving me, over
Requesting confirmation of reception.
This is my last transmission
Final confirmation that this is the last transmission.
Can you, hear me calling you
Repetition of the emotional call for the other person to hear.
Station to station
Continued station-to-station communication.
Are you receiving me, over
Repeating the request for acknowledgment.
This is my last transmission
Reaffirmation that this is the final message.
So now, hear me calling you
Repetition of the call for the other person to hear.
Station to station
Once again, station-to-station communication is emphasized.
Are you receiving me, over
Requesting confirmation of reception.
This is my last transmission
Final declaration that this is the last transmission.
The silence broke my heart
Attributing the breaking of the heart to the silence.
Tore our together apart
Highlighting the impact of silence on the relationship.
The silence broke my heart
Reiteration of the heartbreak caused by silence.
Tore our together apart
Emphasizing the separation caused by silence.
Tore our together apart
Repeating the idea of separation caused by silence.
This is my last transmission
Final repetition of this being the last transmission.
My last transmission
Emphasis on the finality of the message.
My last transmission
Repetition emphasizing the finality of the transmission.
My last transmission
Continued emphasis on the final nature of the communication.
My last transmission
Final repetition, reinforcing the idea that this is the last transmission.
