The Last Of Humankind
The Sole Survivor: Reflections on a Desolate World
Lyrics
Now that all my enemies have died
Reflecting on the absence of adversaries or opposition.
As I stand surrounded by blood
Contemplating the aftermath of a violent and bloody situation.
Was ever an ideal worth fighting for?
Questioning the value and significance of the pursued ideal.
The only survivor
Expressing being the sole survivor of a catastrophic event.
Holding a sword in my hand
Holding a weapon, possibly symbolizing the weight of survival.
The last of humankind
Identifying oneself as the last remaining member of the human race.
On a wasted and empty land
Describing the desolate and barren state of the surroundings.
Not that all my people have died
Acknowledging the loss of one's community or group.
As I lie here on the mud
Lying in the mud, possibly wounded or exhausted.
Should I unsheath the blade one last time?
Contemplating whether to use a weapon one final time.
Nothing to hold onto
Expressing a sense of emptiness and lack of emotional attachment.
Nothing to live for
Conveying a feeling of nihilism, with no purpose to live for.
Nothing to be shared
Highlighting a lack of possessions or shared experiences.
Nothing to be cherished
Emphasizing the absence of meaningful things to hold dear.
Nothing to cling to
Stating there is nothing to hold onto or rely on.
Nothing to dream of
Expressing a lack of aspirations or dreams.
No home to return to
Describing the absence of a home to return to.
No shelter to be found
Indicating a lack of shelter or protection.
No battle to be fought
Noticing the absence of battles or challenges to face.
No home to return to
Reiterating the absence of a home to return to.
The only survivor
Repeating the idea of being the only survivor.
A field of corpses in front of me
Observing a field of deceased individuals.
The last of humankind
Reaffirming being the last representative of humanity.
Life does not make sense to me
Expressing a sense of existential confusion or despair.
