Beginning Of The End
Absolution Project Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I never thought I’d live to see
The images that I’ve lived to see
Am I hallucinating or has this all been real
A cloud of smoke invades my mind
I sit back and watch the world unwind
And although it’s fascinating, it never quite seems real

Soon this will end...
All the flaws that we’ve embraced are the species that we’ve been
Our world’s going to end...
We might find the reasons why, but it won’t change a damn thing
In the end

I never thought I’d see a time
In my life, to end all mankind
Through our intense debating we’re really enemies
Its do or die and I can’t believe
The end times are actually happening
And although it’s fascinating we’re really enemies...

It’s the end times…

Evolution hides inbred deceptions
As our hopes decline and fade away





Can we evolve through our disdain
While the sands of time pass the days away

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Absolution Project's song Beginning Of The End are a reflection of the end times where the world is on the brink of destruction. The singer expresses their disbelief and shock of living to see the catastrophic events that mark the end of the world. The pictures they have observed are hard to believe, and they ask, "Am I hallucinating or has this all been real?". There is a sense of detachment in their observation of the events, where they describe watching the world unwind as though it is not part of them. They find it fascinating, but it never seems entirely real.


The song speaks about how humanity's flaws have brought about its destruction. The species has embraced its imperfections, leading its world to a disastrous end. The singer observes that it is too late to find the reasons why the world is ending, for it will not change a damn thing. It is a time when people were debating a lot, and these heated conversations turned to hostility, making everyone their own worst enemy. Finally, the singer interrogates if it is time that evolution superseded mankind's deception, as their hopes fade away.
