Intro : From the water From the rock and the dirt, you were The first person on earth Oh the mountains And the oceans witnessed your birth The first person on earth By a river, on the banks of a sandy shore Untouched, clean, fresh and pure The first person on earth In the light of the sun you emerged To see the good in the world before the pain and the scourge The first person on earth In the quiet, in the calm, before the storm You heard the dream for a love that never dies in a poem The first person on earth And I'm in love with you, I'm in love with a dream That can not be realized, held or seen By the last person on earth After the earthquakes, the hurricanes, the fires and floods I'm jaded, cynical, angry and glum The world's too absurd and obscene for true love And more than happy to let me become The last person on earth To let me stand on a rock, the muddy waters surround Abandoned, alone, the end soon to come As the last person on earth As the waters rise at the end of the world Thought I bear the weight of the rock and the dirt I know I'm worthy of your love As the last person on earth As the waters rise at the end of the world Thought I bear the weight of the rock and the dirt I know I'm worthy of your love As the last person on earth

À propos de la chanson

La chanson évoque l'émergence d'un être humain, le premier sur Terre, né dans un cadre naturel pur et majestueux, entouré de montagnes et d'océans. Au fil des vers, elle contraste cette innocence originelle avec la réalité actuelle, marquée par la douleur et le désespoir. L’artiste exprime un amour pour ce rêve d’une connexion véritable, vis-à-vis de l'absence de cette authenticité face aux catastrophes qui ravagent le monde. Dans cette lutte entre idéal et désillusion, la voix chante la quête d'amour et de valeur, même dans les moments de solitude et d'abandon.
