Cover art for Last Generation lyrics by Rasmus, The

Well, I first thought of the end of the world. It's probably just me and my paranoid mind, with all the earthquakes and natural disasters happening. I thought it was about global warming finally causing some big disaster, "a raging ream of light". People are desperately abandoning the technology and industry they have relied on and have destroyed the planet with, "stopped and left the car" and are crawling back into nature's arms to search for safety, "ran into the field". Its definitely the earth's last chance, God has given them a chance to change, but they haven't, "the end of salvation". The family represent the innocent people who will suffer because of the actions of people worldwide. "The last generation" had the power to change things and look after the planet, but they failed and now we look back on the "memories" with envy and bitterness.
