“Last to Sleep” opens Fazerdaze’s debut album Morningside by touching on the uncertainty, anxiety (especially in regards to relationships both romantic and platonic) and hope that accompanies young adulthood, setting the main themes for the album as a whole.
[Verse 1]
I'm always gonna be the last one
I'm always gonna be the last to fall asleep
And I can never get close enough
It always feels like you're just out of my reach
And I don't know if it feels so good
Somedays I would let go if I could
[Verse 2]
I feel more than I ever say
I don't want to admit to being afraid
Bottle up my second thoughts
They only try to get caught up in the way
[Chorus]
Breathe in, lights out
Nights in, breathe out
Some things, don't show
Reasons echo
[Verse 3]
Only I'll be the one to blame
Nothing's changed, it remains
Nothing's the same
Do I love this feeling inside?
Or is it just a fucked up peace of mind
[Chorus]
Breathe in, lights out
Nights in, breathe out
Some things, don't show
Reasons echo
Awake and worn out
Fade in, splayed out
Leave me, reeling
Last one sleeping
[Instrumental Break]
[Outro]
Always gonna be the last one
Always gonna be the last one
Always gonna be the last one

The whole album mix is electronic and guitar so it’s half band,...
