The Last Night

This is probably one of Skillet's more depressing songs. When I hear this song, I see a girl coming to tell their best friend/boyfriend hinting at suicide.

You come to me with scars on your wrists, You tell me this will be the last night feeling like this. I just came to say goodbye. I didn't want you to see me cry, I'm fine. But I know it's a lie.

He sees her and the results of her depression (scars from cutting) and she tells him that she doesn't feel like trying anymore. She still tries to hide it, though, which suggests that she's takling to someone very close such as a boyfriend. But he sees where she's going with it and worries.

This is the last night you'll spend alone. Look me in the eye so I know you know, I'm everywhere you want me to be. This is the last night you'll spend alone. I'll hold you in my arms and I won't let go. I'm everything you need me to be.

To sum it up, he's saying that whatever she's going through, he plans to do all he can to help her sort it out, and he want's her to know he means it by looking directly at him as he tells her.

You're parents say everything is you're fault, But they don't know you like I know you. They don't know you at all. I'm so sick of when they say, I't s just a phase. You'll be okay, You're fine.

This shows her parents don;'t care enought to find out what's going on. They assume she's bringing it on herself or it's just a phase they all go through and to jsut get over it. She's tired of hearing it and holding it inside.

The night is so long when everythings wrong. You give me your hand. I will help you hold on.

He's saying he knows what it's like to feel alone in the world when time seems to drag on forever. But he's trying to show her there are better solutions than suicide and he wants to show her.

I won't let you say goodbye. I'll be your reason why.

He's not going to let her slip away from life. He wants it to when she looks back on the situation, she'll see him as the one that kept her going.
