Lyrics
This is the last song that was ever written
This marks the end of creative expression; no more songs will be composed.
After this, nothing will rhyme
After this point, there won't be any poetic or artistic coherence.
This is the last time that you'll ever see us
This signifies the final appearance or performance by the artists.
After this, you're gonna go blind
Following this, a metaphorical loss of vision or insight is expected.
This is the last time that there'll be a last time
There won't be any subsequent instances of concluding moments; it's the ultimate farewell.
You'll wake up to the day without it
You'll face a new day without the influence of this song.
This is the last time that you're gonna lose someone
It's the final occasion where you experience the pain of losing someone.
After this, it's you and your friends
Post this event, it's just you and your close companions.
It's you and your friends
The focus shifts to the enduring connection with friends.
This is the last song that was ever written
A reiteration emphasizing the concluding nature of the song.
Melody is over and done
The melody aspect of the song is definitively completed.
All of the words we sing erase each other
All the lyrics sung cancel each other out, suggesting a sense of futility.
You only need songs when you're young.
Songs are deemed necessary only in youth, indicating a shift in perspective.
There was a strange goodbye outside the station.
An unusual farewell occurs at the station, adding a mysterious element.
There was a letter three weeks later in the mail
Three weeks later, a letter arrives, revealing a delayed impact.
We didn't know we knew you 'til we lost you
Realization of the importance of someone after their departure.
You tried to leave us all alone, we wish you had failed
An acknowledgment of the individual's attempt to be solitary, but a wish for failure.
We're gonna sing a song without words
The shift to a song without words symbolizes a departure from conventional communication.
And a tune you haven't heard in a long time
A reference to an unfamiliar tune, suggesting a departure from the norm.
Not since the year you were two
A nostalgic reference to a time long past, emphasizing the rarity of such tunes.
And she sang to you in the wintertime
A recollection of a lullaby in winter, evoking sentimental memories.
And it goes la la la la
A concluding refrain without specific meaning, emphasizing the end of expression.
