Lostprophets,

Did I ever blog about how I was extremely starstruck and joyful when I found their CD that I had thought I had forever lost inside my garage?

Finally after 4 years.

I have to say they would be one of my top favorite bands. Good stuff.
Not sure if they are popular or anything. Perhaps not in the states, since they're from the UK.

I love their song "Last Train Home". Beautiful lyrics.

I was reading a lot of interpretations about this song. Most of them are far from how I interpret it.

I have read these lyrics, over and over again.
This will perhaps be one of the first songs that I ever take time and scrutinize and dig for their deeper meaner.

My interpretation of the main point of this song is how people should not let anything trivial things get them down.
Actually, things that aren't trivial should not bring you down also.
Because there is always a tomorrow.
A tomorrow, a new day to start over.

But some people do not realize it.
All they do is complain ("sing") and dwell upon their problems.
They cannot and will not get over it.
They believe their problems and sadness were thrust upon them with force.
But it is actually their choice that had caused them their own sadness.
They are only bringing it up on themselves by dwelling on it day by day.

On the other hand, they have the choice to just drop it and start fresh.
Some people don't take that choice though.
It is more easy to keep lingering on one thing instead of getting up and start changing.

Also, I forgot to add how the song ridicules about,
How some people who had lost "loves".
Are traumatized and "swear" to never love again.
They are willing to give it all up and never try again.
Just because of that one person.

Just because that happens.
It doesn't mean it will happen all the time or again.

Keep on trying and moving along.

This song really goes with my philosophy on life.

Last Train Home : Lostprophets

To every broken heart in here
Love was once a part
But now it's disappeared
She told me that it's all a part of
The choices that you make, yeah
Even when you think you're right
You have to give to take

But there's still tomorrow
Forget the sorrow
And I can be on the last train home
Watch it pass the day
As it fades away
No more time to care
No more time, today

But we sing
If we're going nowhere
Yeah we sing
If it's not enough
And we sing
Sing without a reason
To ever fall in love

I wonder if you're listening
Picking up on the signals sent back from within
Sometimes it feels like
I don't really know what's going on
Time and time again it seems like
Everything is wrong in here

But there's still tomorrow
Forget the sorrow
And I can be on the last train home
Watch it pass the day
As it fades away
No more time to care
No more time, today

But we sing
If we're going nowhere
Yeah we sing
If it's not enough
And we sing
Sing without a reason
To ever fall in love

But we sing if we're going nowhere
Yeah we sing if it's not enough

And we sing
Sing without a reason
To ever fall in love

But we sing
If we're going nowhere
Yeah we sing
If it's not enough
And we sing
Sing without a reason
To never fall in love
To never fall in love again
To never fall in love again
To never fall in love again..
