The Last Word Lyrics

This song is about someone who's been wronged by an ex lover. They're so depressed, they want to kill themselves. They think that's going to be their last word to the world, kind of a 'screw you, I'm leaving' last message. They carve out their lover's name in their arm, just so everyone knows exactly why they killed themselves. Then, in a moment of clarity, they realize that they can't forfeit their life in the name of the enemy. Instead, they're going to enjoy all the beauty that life has to offer while hoping that their ex dies a horrible, horrible death. They will remain to dance upon their grave. I love this message. Why sabotage yourself because of some a-hole, when it's so much better to enjoy life and hope that they suffer?
