"last words" is generally about a particular frame of necrophobia: the fear of other dead or dying people. the death of family and friends is always a hard thing, but despite running its course three or four times in my life- pets, grandparents, friends- i'm still feel incapable of navigating it or directly facing it head-on. this song addresses that fear, from the lens of a funeral.
it is also the second single off of my next album, "specters"- a concept album about my fears, some big and some small. please look forward to it.

I love the train ride theme in these specters PVs and how the album cover is a view from the doors of a stopped train
okay i'm really not someone to leave super-long emo comments on songs, but man am i ever feeling this one tonight. so here we go.
i saw another comment describing this song as 'devastatingly beautiful', and...yeah, that about sums it up. i love the atmosphere of the pv and the emotion in Dex's voice, the music that's almost upbeat but not quite...it's all just amazing. this is one of my new favorite songs already.
the main reason i love this is...a little heavy, so just...stop reading if you want.
my best friend killed himself last year, and i haven't been the same since. this song really just summarizes all the feelings i still have over the whole thing. i've mostly moved on- it's been a whole year, after all, and time does heal some wounds.
but the line "i close my eyes, close them tight, and realize...what were the last words on your mind?" literally brought me to tears because there's so many questions i still have that i'll just never get the answers to, and it hurts to know that. his death just left...stains on me, i suppose, and this song makes me feel all of them.
the beginning brings a whole new level of feels too- "stay back, don't touch me, i'm just a little bit paralyzed". it suddenly made me realize how withdrawn i've become since my friend's death- i've gotten scared of growing close to new people, since i'm so afraid to lose them. it's so easy to lose someone or something in a way that ensures you can never get them back. oblivion is always so so close, and sometimes that just slams me into a depressive existential crisis at a thousand miles an hour.
but 'last words' makes it a good kind of hurt, because i miss my late friend, and that's okay. i know there's nothing i can do about it now, except remember him fondly and do my best to keep going. death is something that i don't know how to even think about, and it scares me beyond belief. but right now i'm safe and alive and i have other good friends who take care of me and keep me sane. i'm hurting, but it will be okay.
thank you for this. this stupid comment got long and rambly and i'm sorry for that, but you captured the feeling of this fear perfectly. and i mean that as a good thing- a *great* thing.
you're incredibly talented, and i'm extremely hyped for the rest of specters 💙
oh. my heart,,,, also highkey loving this new train aesthetic you got going on
It’s like a theme across them all…I actually like what someone else said, how it’s almost like they’re all on the same train, and no one really knows how others are feeling.
It's mellow and lonely, stylish and dramatic, jazzy, very attractive song!!!!!!!
The line "a long lost dream on a trip to the gutter now" is absolutely haunting. That and the very end of the song really elevate this song to the next level and drive it home, making it about something so much more than plain grief. It really captures the pity and the existential nightmare that comes with mourning, which just aren't discussed enough.
Gosh, your so talented!
This omg hits hard... Despite being exposed to death time and time again in life, I'll never know how to treat the situation. There's always a level of..."what now?".;
this was simply devastating beautiful. It made me think about how these thoughts affect me as well. Dex is so sad but his voice is still so gorgeous. Combining that with the pv and the intricate lyrics and you've created something few ever do. I love this song and I love the message thank you so much Kenji!!
ALSO the clearness of his pronunciation is G O D tier ❤❤❤
Dex sounds really emotional, which really fits the song! The whole funeral atmosphere and the grief and uncertainty was perfectly captured as well! Also, I love the train theme!
0:15 spooks me each time but this song is beautiful T^T
Of all the songs on specters, I keep coming back to this one. When this came out, I cried so much and still get tearful whenever I listen to it, but it’s become sort of a tool to help me heal. The lyrics really hit home for me, and I just want to say thank you Lupin for creating a song that has touched and comforted so many people
Monochromatic aesthetic? Slay
Ears? Blessed
Dex? Bomb
Overall? Awesome
This really hit me in the feels. Beautiful song!
Vocaphilia You're also pretty good with Dex yourself!
Las canciones de Dex siempre están re buenas (como él) úvù...
Very recently, I went to your channel and, oh my God, how glad I am! Awesome song!!! I love this! ♥️
I almost cried when I connected the dots, funerals are harsh and really difficult to deal with. I’ve lost my little sister(actually cousin) before she was born when I was 7 or so, I still remember her little body ready to go to the ground... I miss you Bea.
Dex looks so cute in a suit. Such an amazing song! ^_^
This song sounds incredible! Love it!
I hope to hear you self-cover this and "wishing well" songs.
I'm already lovin this theme, you're such an inspiration
happy birthday to me!
you've done it again. you never cease to make beautiful songs that I listen to on repeat. can't wait to add this to my "good Vocaloid songs" playlist on spotify
which is just your discography
Woooow Hell of a musician! Just discovered you :)
your music never fails to put me at ease and the particular vibe of these songs really resonates with me, not even starting with the inspiration you're taking and the way you're portraying your fears. thank you for sharing!
This is hitting too close to home for me, nice job!
I love this! so beautiful, great work as always keep it up lupin!
2:44 THAT GLISS!!! really hits!! amazing & heartfelt bops- can’t believe i’m late to this. revisited your channel bc of your covers of Patches and Honey I’m Home. amazing work per usual, nostraightanswer and dex!! 🥰🔥
We out here vibing
You capture a lot of fear in this one song, and thank you for opening your heart to the world, both through your previous songs and through specters. It helps heal, and helps others find catharsis by realizing that they are not alone.
I love this new material, keep it up
-self cover?-
yo i am HYPED for when this album comes out. absolutely fantastic music once again.
Thank you for the good, cathartic cry. Great song.
Love it already
I love the vibes and flow on this one~

i love this song so much, been listening on repeat a lot since it came out! it speaks to me a lot as someone who also lost a person dear to me..
thank you for the wonderful work as always!! (:
Oh boi. That hits *hard*
Nice, love it
This is groovy as hell omggggg
This is very beautiful and very sad! Keep it up

Underrated and amazing song, Love it
Ooooh this is so nice
Really loving the track!
This is gorgeous
that was really pretty, good job!
I think I'm late but this is very beautiful, you gained my sub, keep on it !
My goodness, you truly never disappoint...!
Thank you for creating music. Might seem small but i dont find things i enjoy so often. So thank you very much!!
This is beautiful
That's 3am in my place :c
I know the song is great and all but have you ever imagine having to tune your own voice??? I think it would be pretty surreal
like it！❤
I'm playing this at my funeral
i love you
aaaaa!!!!
these are my 'last words', please 'dont watch me die'.
OMG. I just realised something about the pvs in all the songs in specters. All of them are set on trains. I think it's meant to symbolize moving on, right?
Not quite. It's more about how fears are a regular thing, how anyone around you on public transit can have a fear or two that really gets at them, but they just don't talk about it. And you wouldn't know what kind of fears those people have unless you asked- you can't judge based on appearances alone.
Can someone post the lyrics?
Better do a cover of this hun
pls do a self cover~
I was wanting to sing this song for my school’s talent show, and I wanted to play the piano to go along with it since I hear piano in it. I was wondering if you had the piano sheet music for it? Also, amazing song! I really love it! :3 @Nostraightanswer
I actually don't have the sheet music; I could generate one I think, but I can't guarantee how playable it actually is.
nostraightanswer That’s fine! Thank you so much!
nostraightanswer How long does it take usually?
@@ramonaredrose7521 Hi, sorry. I don't actually think I'll be able to properly transpose this to sheet music after all. Run into an issue about it. I'm very, very sorry!
nostraightanswer I know I’m a bit late- but better late then never right? It’s alright! Don’t worry about it! Thank you for trying though, I really appreciate it ^^
i want to like this but its at 666 likes im crying
Mietta Kerper i screenshot it. it’s now immortalized. please smash that like- one like’s additional tick in the yt algorithm is far more important than maintaining aesthetics sadly
@@nostraightanswer i completely agree with you, but now that you screenshot it, i pressed the like button with more courage :'D thanks for replying!! also this song is an absolute masterpiece, keep up with the amazing conent!
