Papa Roach: Last Resort Meaning
Last Resort Lyrics
This is my last resort
Suffocation
No breathing
Don't give a fuck if I cut my arm bleeding
This is my last resort
Cut my life into pieces
I've reached my last resort
Suffocation
No breathing
Don't give a fuck...

#2 top rated interpretation:No one has truly hit the nail on the head with this song meaning
so ill try as best I can::
The singer is abviously extremely depressed
all he wants is someone to be there for him::
"wish someone would tell me I'm fine"
and how his life is so fucked up that hios last resort is, well, suicide::
"suffocation, no breathing, don't give a fuck if I cut my arm bleeding. This is my last resort.
i can't go on living this way"
and that absolutely nothing is going right::
"nothing's alright, nothing is fine, I'm runnin and I'm crying"
his depression has been eating at him for so long::
downward spiral, where do I begin? it all started when I lost my mother.
its saying I've been going through all this for so long, why should io have to deal with it any longer. (trust me, Jacoby, I feel your pain!)
this song truly has powerful and meaningful lyrics.
like it's definitely one of my favorite songs. -
So there’s this documentary out there somewhere we’re jacoby says he wrote it when his friend mark was in a really bad state of mind, but since then it has changed meanings for him 3 or 4 times, with his grandfathers suicide and then his own suicidal thoughts. All I can say it this song hits home on so many levels and it really helped me
-
It's about sucide. This song helped me when i was a depressed sucidal teen. I used to blast full and miffed off my parents (who was religious). They hated me for doing it but i was a angry teen (not all like that). It still helps me now get through, I have very severe depression still so if miffed off or depressed listen to this as it will help you.
-
What i was told this song is about is that the lead singer used to self harm and that this song is about him or just about self harm in general.
-
I think this song is a cry for help. Many peple who self-harm are looking for someone to help them, but seeings as they don't come out and say "Help me" no one notices. 'Cuz I'm losing my sight
Losing my mind
Wish somebody would tell me I'm fine
Losing my sight
Losing my mind
Wish somebody would tell me I'm fine' This section of the song is saying that he's not sure sbout whether its worth taking his own life and he just wants someone to hold out their hand and listen and hopefully help. -
Last Resort is about suicide and how he feels how his life is horrible.
Overrated song but good. -
The song is about a friend of his that at one point contemplated suicide. He was pretty far out there at one point. Although this person was an extreemly talented artist, that tended to do drawings that were a bit on the darker side of things. This person has since got their life on track, and suicide wouldn't be an option now. In no way this is about Jacoby's life. Jacoby has always been a vibrant and creative individual. Throughout high school he was very outgoing to say the least.

I know this due to being close to the band in their early days. -
This song is about suicide and Jacoby wrote this song after his friend committed suicide.
-
I believe the song is about trying to deal with emotions.
It speaks of self mutilation 'don't give a f*** if I cut my arm bleeding' and 'mutilation out of sight', which is often seen as a 'Last Resort'.
It seems that the narrator is just looking for some sort of justification for what they are feeling 'wish someone would tell me that i'm fine'.
Emotions can become overwhelming and cause anxiety 'coz i'm losing my sight, losing my mind', possibly spiralling into depression.
I think that most people can relate to this song at some point in their lives (maybe not to the extreme depicted), but there are always times when 'Nothing's alright, nothing is fine'.
I think the ending of the song can be taken in two ways:
I can't go on living this way
Can't go on
Living this way
Nothing's alright
Either that they feel so terrible that they feel like taking their own life, or that they've decided to seek help.
I personally prefer the second option. -
from the music video i guess that the music is not strongly about sucide. i think its about the moments that people are alone angry of something or someone with being lonly and depressed and feeling down.when you have this kind of situation then you would like to insult and talk about sucide when you dont really mean it.but there is part that lyrics is talking about mothers true love when its saying searching for a love but i found the questions and devil when he lost hes mother.actually i think this song is more about feeling alone than being alone i mean when there is lots of peaple around you but they dont care about you.
-
im thinking that he's just tired of all the ups and downs of his emotions, mainly downs, he knows there's people there but doesn't feel them there, or doesn't feel that they truely understand..pushing him to cutting. and thinking about committing suicide just to stop feeling all the pain..he doesn't care..he's lost and cant find his way back..
-
Cut my life into pieces,
This is my last resort,
Suffocation,
No breathing,
Don't give a fuck if I cut my arm bleeding.
Would it be wrong?
Would it be right?
If I took my life tonight,
Chances are that I might.
Mutilation out of sight,
And I'm contemplating suicide.
im thinking that this is enough to tell you it's about suicide.. He's right too -
last resort i think is saying when you reach a point in life when everything is falling apart you tend to get to the last resort where you don't care if you cut and your not sure if anyone cares if you die or not. a point in life where you start to contemplate suicide. saying in the last resort stage you lose sight of whats right and if anyone really cares.

Sorry guys this song really about teenagers and suicide about how many of teen kill themselves in a year.
