悲しみの果て
エレファントカシマシ Lyrics

The lyrics of "悲しみの果て" or "At the End of Sadness" by エレファントカシマシ are a reflection of the singer's feelings about moving beyond grief. The opening lines express uncertainty about what lies beyond the sadness - the singer doesn't know and hasn't seen it before. However, the one thing that he is certain of is that your face will appear and disappear, making it clear that the person he's thinking of is the one who has passed away.

Continuing on, the lyrics suggest that sadness won't last forever, and laughter will eventually follow tears. The singer cites someone who has told him that there will be laughter, indicating that he may be seeking comfort from others. He then predicts that when he returns to his normal self, it might seem like he's laughing at the situation.

In the second half of the song, the singer plans to create a comfortable space in his room with flowers and coffee. He then repeats the idea that he doesn't really know what's at the end of sadness but suggests that it can lead to wonderful days ahead. The repetition of the phrase "oh yeah" at the end signifies that he is now confident and positive about the future.
