Last Chance Lyrics
This is a pretty straightforward song that says your life is really short, so don't waste it feeling sorry for yourself or playing it safe. As a small example, I played guitar (very badly) many years ago. I have for several years been half-heartedly thinking about getting into it again, but this time, becoming better at it. Listening to this song and considering the lyrics made me decide to stop wasting time and do exactly that.
I always thought this song has a vaguely religious theme to it. Dirt poor people look up to the man who came down from the mountain to explain things, about a short life and making it worth while. Who are we talking about? Moses, Buddha, Jesus? Take your pick.
An inspiring combination of melody and lyric. Shooting Star never got the credit they deserved.
My ear has never been able to discern one line from this song. Is it: Self respect robbed by self content or Self respect robbed by self contempt Either one seems to fit within the context of the song.

i think it deals with people putting up with their shit lives. Explain that you need to go and live the life you want. Take a chance, believe in yourself, drink from the well - experience good things in life before you die.
