The song Last Man by Harms Way discusses the pressures and tensions of life, and the inevitability of death. The first verse talks about how tensions are rising and time is running out, while candles burn low, symbolizing the passing of time. The song then speaks about how we, as humans, are in denial about our mortality and must brace ourselves for the final journey. The chorus talks about how we are living in a type of cage or prison, consumed by our own desires and greed. We are starving for something more and turning into the last man, meaning the last person on earth or the last person in a particular situation. The song ultimately conveys the message that we must confront and accept our own mortality, as we all have a final trial to face in the end. It urges us to focus on living our lives to the fullest and not wasting time on things that ultimately do not matter.
