“For me, this song is more relevant than ever when you look at today’s society. Someone who believes in themselves, pursues their own goals and wants to achieve something is often laughed at or not taken seriously. You hear comments like: “You’d be better off learning a proper trade” or are simply labelled a weirdo. It was no different for me back then. But the initial laughter later turned into envy and resentment. Last Man Standing is precisely about this journey and about staying true to your own path despite all the opposition.”

Lyrics:

Words cut like knives in a world of grey.
They said I’d fall, they said I’d break,
I’ve learned from every scar they have made.
In the mirror, there’s a war inside,
I can’t escape, I cannot hide.
They burn, I scream out loud. I live, I rise.

Every shadow they have cast
makes the spirit build at last.
I break, I stand, never follow their command.

I‘m the last man standing,
when the worlds keep demanding.
Break my bones, not my will,
Bleeding truth, I’m fighting still.
I‘m the last man standing, this is not my ending.

From the ashes, I command.
I‘m the last man… standing!

They treat me like I don’t belong,
But I keep writing my own song.
They say “You better stop, just give it up!”
Suppression whispers in my ears,
But courage kills the voice of fear.
They laughed and twisted my name.
Don‘t play their game.

Every shadow they have cast
makes the spirit build at last.
I break, I stand, never follow their command.

I‘m the last man standing,
when the worlds keep demanding.
Break my bones, not my will,
Bleeding truth, I’m fighting still.
I‘m the last man standing, this is not my ending.
From the ashes, I command.
I‘m the last man…

Every night I close my eyes
to heal my heart from all the lies.
Break the noise and breathe away
For another fight, for another day.

I‘m the last man standing,
when the worlds keep demanding.
Break my bones, not my will,
Bleeding truth, I’m fighting still.
I‘m the last man standing, this is not my ending.
From the ashes, I command.
