Last Word (english)

Rentrer En Soi

Cherished by the circling sun and the sinking moon
The silver sunlight sways

The prayer on the bright sun cherishes the emptiness
There are no words for the sadness

My heart hurts
Because you are drifting away from me
Never to see you again
Never even to touch

Our memories can never be erased

My heart hurts
Because you are drifting away from me
Never to see you again
Sadness fills me up

Why is it that when I picture your smile, tears fill my eyes?

Time tells me that it is the end
My heart hurts
I sink in solitude

I lose focus on the meaning to lie
I lose sight on the reason to believe

There is no tomorrow

    i personlly like the other version of this song better. i see it that although whoever he's singing about seems to be dying/dead, he is the one who is dying in the song. "watashi wa owaru..."

    Ohhh, there are two versions? Then that explains this translation....:

    I went around the sun and moon carrying you in my arms Swaying in the silver rays of sunlight A gallery of bright sunshine, your voice heard in the distance Warmly, kindly

    I want to be near you until the last season Because I've held your hand the whole way

    Disappearing into the scenery Illuminating in your eyes

    I want to be near you until the last season Because I've held your hand the whole way

    I am finished Upon the cold pillow I place your ring Tomorrow won't come again... This warmth is serene, I'm finished, broken, finished

    The morning won't come again

Warren wanted a Beach Boys thing for this one, and Carl Wilson and Billy Hinsche came in, with Carl arranging the vocal parts. The other harmony vocalists (credited as the "Gentlemen Boys") were Jackson Browne, J.D. Souther, Zevon's longtime backers Waddy Wachtel and Jorge Calderon, and Linda Rondstadt/Stone Poneys guitarist Kenny Edwards.

This song is def a twin to "Unfair" (a song she has been quoted as saying is about falling in love with someone who is already in a relationship) so it is presumably about the same person. Given the references to buying an apartment and not being able to see her love interest "after tonight," it's most likely that she's moving away and she'll "wait a day to break the bad news" (i.e. notifying him that she's leaving once she's already gone). And, of course, the fact that she sees in him a fellow "idealist" and "dreamer" (terms commonly given to people with the INFP personality on the Myers–Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI)) portends that she'll always be left wondering if they would've been perfect together.

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.
