The End of the Line
Absentia Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Today is just like another yesterday
To forget and fulfill like the light in your eyes
Deep in your eyes
Forgotten words end everything I once knew
Forgotten words engrave my torn soul
Pain never seems to end... Bleeding for my misdeeds
I would die for you... Now I will die on my own
Is this the end of the line?
Is this the end of my time to cry?
Is this the end of the love I had inside?
It′s time to say goodbye
The mirror always tells the truth
Remove the mask that hides reality
Showing the lies you hide behind the coldest smile
Smiling... but rotten inside
Burning thoughts arise
The mirror of truth will remove
The mask of lies you told
Showing through the last of you grins
Without remorse the truth unfolds
To unveil the deceit of you soul
The lyrics of Absentia's song The End of the Line portray themes of loss, pain, and letting go. The song is about the end of a relationship and the singer's struggle to come to terms with it. The opening lines "Daylight fades when the morning sun is here again / Today is just like another yesterday" set the somber tone of the song, indicating that the singer feels trapped in a cycle of sadness and repetition. The line "Forgotten words end everything I once knew / Forgotten words engrave my torn soul" suggests that the relationship ended abruptly or the memories of the good times have been erased, causing emotional pain.
The singer expresses their remorse and longing through lines such as "Pain never seems to end... Bleeding for my misdeeds / I would die for you... Now I will die on my own / My eternal sleep will help my soul rest in peace." The phrase "Is this the end of the line?" is repeated throughout the song, signifying the end of the relationship and possibly the singer's life. The image of "the mirror of truth" is used as a symbol for facing reality and acknowledging the deceit and pain of the past.
In conclusion, The End of the Line is a poignant expression of the end of a relationship and the difficult emotions that come with it. The lyrics are introspective and genuine, making it a relatable song for anyone going through a breakup or dealing with grief.
