The Last Time

from The Last Time by Ionne

/

about

"The Last Time" is the second single from my forthcoming album, Fracture. The song is an ode to loss in a minor key, built on synth arpeggio and piano melody. Borrowing from classical music, techno, and retro hard rock, I wanted to create cinematic moments, for example, the dramatic juxtaposition between percussion and synth suggesting a link between technology and emotion. Curators who have heard the preview say that the result is infectious and pushes my music to new, thrilling places. Check it out and let me know!

lyrics

All we ever feared
Was killing time
Several hundred years
Amount to
Castles that we’ll never own
And songs I write
But cannot sing myself
Our dreams of spaceships
And their secret plans
To take us somewhere else

The mirror’s cold
The glass is too
Tonight I feel so old
So used to
Pain from this malfunction
Filling up my mind
And spilling on our bed
This little robot
Should be sleeping
Should be sleeping
Should be

Locked away in
Solitude
Like the last time
(Just like the last time)
Like the last time
(It’s always like the time)
Full of empty
Platitudes
Like the last time
Like the last time

Fall apart
Like the last time
Like the last time

What else can I drink
To ease my mind
When every thought I think
Returns to
Cards and pictures
Countless roses
Precious moments
Moments laid to waste
Don’t turn your back
Don’t walk away
Don’t be that way
Don’t be your
Self

Locked away in
Solitude
Like the last time
(Just like the last time)
Like the last time
(It’s always like the time)
Full of empty
Platitudes
Like the last time
(Just like the last time)
Like the last time

Fall apart
Look at what it’s done to you
Like the last time
Break my heart
Smile if I’m still hurting you
Like the last time
Like the last time
Like the last time
