Last Resort

Papa Roach’s “Last Resort” (2000) is a visceral nu-metal anthem that brought themes of pain and survival into the mainstream. With its aggressive guitar riff and cathartic chorus (“Suffocation, no breathing!”), the song details a struggle with suicidal thoughts yet offers defiance. It became a generational anthem for angsty youth — a Top 10 rock hit that introduced Papa Roach to the world and remains a late-night mosh-pit classic.
