The Last Remaining Light Lyrics

Roll me on your frozen fields
Break my bones to watch them heal
Drown me in your thirsty veins
Where I'll watch and I'll wait
And pray for the rain

Curl like smoke and breath again
Down your throat inside your ribs
Through your spine in every nerve
Where I watch and I wait and yield to the hurt

And if you don't believe
The sun will rise
Stand alone and greet the coming night
In the last remaining light

Seven moons and seven suns
Heaven waits for those who run
Down your winter and
Underneath your waves
Where you watch and you wait
And pray for the day

And if you don't believe the sun will rise
Stand alone and greet the coming night
In the last remaining light

And if you don't believe the sun will rise
Stand alone and greet the coming night
In the last remaining light
Light
Light
Light

What is the Meaning of The Last Remaining Light?

Ah, the thrill of existential dread wrapped in a rock ballad! "The Last Remaining Light" is Audioslave's poetic musing on resilience amidst despair. Imagine rolling on icy fields and breaking bones as a hobby – talk about a tough love approach to self-healing! The song dives deep, literally into veins and metaphorically into the soul, exploring the dark recesses where one waits and watches for some sign of hope (or at least a bit of daylight). It’s an anthem for the stubborn optimists who stand defiantly as they greet the night, refusing to believe that the sun won’t rise again. So, light up your existential candles, folks; this track reminds us that even in the darkest times, there’s always a sliver of light worth standing alone for. #Resilience #ExistentialRock #LastLight
