Last of Days Lyrics
Something causing fear to fly
Rising like a dark night
In silence
Traveling like a broken boat
Heading for the sky
And I’m an island
I watched you disappear into the clouds
Swept away into another town
The world carries on without you
But nothing remains the same
I'll be lost without you
Until the last of days
The sun is in the east,
Rising for the beasts
And the beauties
I wish that I could tear it down,
Plant it in the ground to warm your face
I built myself a castle on the beach
Watching as it slid into the sea
The world carries on without you
But nothing remains the same
I'll be lost without you
Until the last of days
Until the last of days
Through walls and harvest moons
I will fight for you
The world carries on without you
But nothing remains the same
I'll be lost without you
Until the last of days
Until the last of days
Rising like a dark night
In silence
Traveling like a broken boat
Heading for the sky
And I’m an island
Swept away into another town
But nothing remains the same
I'll be lost without you
Until the last of days
Rising for the beasts
And the beauties
I wish that I could tear it down,
Plant it in the ground to warm your face
Watching as it slid into the sea
But nothing remains the same
I'll be lost without you
Until the last of days
Until the last of days
I will fight for you
But nothing remains the same
I'll be lost without you
Until the last of days
Until the last of days

Gah, stupid people. Not every song is about Jesus. I hate it when people try to relate everything to God and the bible and all that. Gah! It's obviously about a guy who she loved went away and everyone forget about him, but she misses him like hell. I can relate to THAT.
i love this song...i love the lyrics...i love the music...i love how it sounds...twinkly. =] and it's really easy to relate to.
someone she loves leaves and without him in her life the world still goes on living everyday just the same, everyone except for her. and shes lost with out him.
correct lyrics from "afinefrenzy.com":
something’s causing feet to fly, rising like a dark knight in silence traffic’s slow with broken boats heading for the sea and I’m an island
I watched you disappear into the clouds swept away into another town
the world carries on without you but nothing remains the same I’ll be lost without you until the last of days
the sun is in the east, rising for the beasts and the beauties if only I could tear it down, plant it in the ground to warm your face
I built myself a castle on the beach watching as it slid into the sea
the world carries on without you but nothing remains the same I’ll be lost without you until the last of days until the last of days
through wars and harvest moons I will wait for you. the world carries on without you but nothing remains the same I’ll be lost without you until the last of days until the last of days
This song is so sad. I think it is about someone close to her dying. "I wish that I could tear it down, Plant it in the ground to warm your face" She wants to plant the sun in the ground to warm his cold face in death. It's beautiful.
this song is definitely about someone who is dying or has died. "i watched you disappear into the clouds swept away into another town">> the person is going up to heaven

if you can relate to that theory then thats fine. but what right do you have to say that its only about a boy and that anyone who tries to link it to their faith is 'stupid' ? i am not religious myself but i would much rather think that this song is about faith than another song about a guy.
This song reminds me of a friend that recently died. I'm pretty sure that it's also about somebody close to her that died, as opposed to something religious such as Jesus. True believers in Jesus wouldn't feel "lost without you until the last of days" as they believe that Christ is with them at every step.
Good point actually. I never looked into the lyrics very much.

When I heard this song, I felt that I could immediately relate to it. To me, this is a song about someone who has died. My Dad passed away from cancer a few years ago. We were very close, every day he would come to me with new ideas of what I should or could do in my life and he was this huge source of confidence and was really the only other person that could dream with me and enter that world. Anyway, when he died, it felt that almost everything in me went with him, and I just lost every dream I had ever had.
So, the lyrics: "Something's Causing fear to fly rising like a dark night in silence..." To me it makes me think of my inability to move forward and shine like I used to, feeling hindered and scared. "heading for the sky and I'm an island" - still trying to move up and forward, but you're alone.
"I watched you disappear into the clouds, swept away into another town" is about knowing that the person is gone, but it's so impossible to grasp, you can only think of it as moving away.
"the sun is in the east....plant it in the ground to warm your face" is clearly about warming someone from the cold of death. The sun rises for everyone else, and everything else, but the person who is speaking is not saying that the sun is rising for them because they are still in that dark, watching the sun rise from their dark place.
"I built myself a castle on the beach, watching as it slid into the sea" it's building a castle with that person that you love, but nature just pulls it away likes it's nothing. It doubles as building of castles of sand... building castles because they're beautiful, but knowing that you're building a castle that can fall and be pulled away, building something beautiful but preparing yourself knowing what comes in the future can be pulled away.
"through walls and harvest moons I will fight for you" this is as time goes on, you fight to hold on to that person, and moons change, and your darkness changes, and you fight through the walls you created afterwards, in order for you to move on as well.
For me, this last part is where I'm at. I met someone two months before my father died, and spiritually I think he is just like my Dad, very kind, gentle, enthusiastic, a child at heart, and I know if they had ever had the chance to meet, my father would have loved him. After five years, he's been with me, been patient, and I am finally letting myself move on to fully attach to him. Moving forward
The chorus speaks for itself and no one can be replaced, and you learn to cope and move forward, but it doesn't disappear.
The world carries on without you But nothing remains the same I'll be lost without you Until the last of days
