Nü Metal: Canción #4: "Last Resort" - Papa Roach

Cut my life into pieces
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 if I cut my arm bleeding
Do you even care if I die bleeding
Would it be wrong
Would it be right
If I took my life tonight
Chances are that I might
Mutilation outta sight
And I'm contemplating suicide

'Cause 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

I never realized I was spread too thin
Till it was too late
And I was empty within
Hungry
Feeding on chaos
And living in sin
Downward spiral where do I begin
It all started when I lost my mother
No love for myself
And no love for another
Searching to find a love up on a higher level
Finding nothing but questions and devils

'Cause I'm losing my sight
Losing my mind
Wish somebody would tell me in fine
Losing my sight
Losing my mind
Wish somebody would tell me I'm fine
Nothing's alright
Nothing is fine
I'm running and I'm crying
I'm crying
I'm crying
I'm crying
I'm crying

I can't go on living this way

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 outta sight
And I'm contemplating suicide

'Cause 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
Nothing's alright
Nothing is fine
I'm running and I'm crying

I can't go on living this way
Can't go on
Living this way
Nothing's alright

Last Resort es el primer single del álbum 3 veces platino Infest, publicado en 2000 por el grupo estadounidense Papa Roach. El sencillo arrasó en EEUU alcanzando el #1 en el chart Modern Rock, además de conseguir un merecido #3 en las listas inglesas.

La canción toma elementos de los géneros Nü Metal y Rapcore, a pesar de su tendencia hacia el rock alternativo a partir de 2002 con su álbum Lovehatetragedy, lo que no quiere decir que suenen peor, ni mucho menos :)

Como curiosidad, se ha especulado mucho sobre el parecido del riff principal de la canción con otros temas de bandas como Iron Maiden o Tourniquet.

¡Que la disfrutéis!
