about

Ever feel like you've been cheated? Most of us are all too familiar with that feeling, repeating the same behaviours and getting the same results, always left disappointed. 'Last Chances' is the latest single from NZ-based band REPAIRS. The track centres around Nicola Edwards' looping major key bass line and tempered vocal delivery, quickly joined by a wall of post-punk guitars. Scarcely holding back resentment, the lyrics ruminate on the hope that something will change - but knowing it never does, and never will.

It's a catchy-sad pop song that builds into a final frenzied crescendo, laying bare the frustrations of knowing that you’re stuck in the wrong relationship but feeling powerless to do anything about it.

lyrics

Waiting
Watching and waiting
Sitting and watching and waiting for something to change
Hoping
Wishing and hoping
Wanting and wishing and hoping you'll meet me halfway
Hating
Silently hating
Seething and silently hating the lies every day
Not sure if there's a winner
No love lost but there's a loser
Waiting
Patiently waiting
Sitting and patiently waiting for our chance to change
Hating
Seething and hating
Angry and seething and hating the lies we still say
Not sure if there's a winner
No love lost but there's a loser
But once again
I'm the one who loses
I'm the one who's lost
Losing once again
