This song is about suicide. It takes the perspective of someone who feels frustrated and confused to the point that ending it all seems like a valid option. In in interview Esparance said that "Last Resort" was so popular because the meaning of the track struck a note with fans: "I think the lyrics had a lot to do with it. Because originally the song was about a friend of ours that we grew up with, and he was going through a rough time in his life. And there was that suicide element to it, just like growing up and the struggles of life and questioning whether or not you want to keep going on, and I think a lot of people connected with that. For the kids who had also gone through those kinds of feelings, those kinds of emotions, the lyrics really helped connect with that song."

Papa Roach - Last Resort
This was the first major-label release for Papa Roach; they recorded for
an independent label for 5 years before signing with Dreamworks.
Tobin Esperance (the bassist of the band) says the band did not expect "Last Resort" to be as big as it
was: "No one ever thought it was going to be a huge, huge hit, but I
guess you never expect anything, really, when you're first starting
out."
