“Das Letzte Mal” (“The Last Time”) is Tim Bendzko’s heartfelt goodbye to a love that keeps draining his energy. Picture someone standing in front of a window on a rainy morning: memories fall like raindrops, each one reminding him of unsaid words and wasted moments. With every chorus he vows, this is it—the final song, the final time he will confess how deeply he loved, how much he missed, and how many hours he lost thinking about the past.
Despite the sorrow, Bendzko’s tone is decisive. He stops blaming himself, puts on a brave face, and refuses to let the other person twist his words again. The repetition of “das war das letzte Mal” is both a farewell and a self-empowering mantra, turning heartbreak into a fresh start. By the end, the listener feels the mix of pain and liberation that comes from finally closing a chapter that has lingered too long.
