about

"last words" is about necrophobia, the fear of others' deaths. the death of family and friends is always a hard thing, but despite running its course three or four times in my life- pets, grandparents, friends- i'm still incapable of navigating it. this song addresses that fear, from the lens of a funeral.

it was the second single released from the album. nostraightanswer.bandcamp.com/album/last-words

lyrics

stay back, don't touch me
i'm just a little bit paralyzed
stay back, don't watch me
you'll see everything in my eyes

sun gleaming through the window
failing to light the room
reflecting what i don't know
singing a random tune, ooh

and i reminisce in the stillness
imagine your heart on the balance
while i feel my own break
in a way i feared to know

collect my thoughts
and leave them scattered on the coffin, mm
they're moving on
but now we've gathered on a moment, clinging on

electrified
i close my eyes
close them tight
and realize

what were the last words on your mind?
the last words on your mind

a prayer for another?
or thoughts of a lover?
a wish for a brother?
a long lost dream, on a trip to the gutter now?

and there's no way to explain
just how the red-stained glass
obscures your resting frame

collect my thoughts
and leave them scattered on the coffin, mm
they're moving on, they're moving on, they're moving on

electrified
i close my eyes
close them tight
and realize

what were the last words on your mind?
the last words on your mind

the last words on your mind
the last words... the last words...
the last words... we'll never know
we'll never know
we'll never know
