End of the Road
Aly & Fila Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Lately I've begun to overload
overload
One more straw then it's my time
I'll crash about and claim I'm lettin' go
oh oh oh oh oh
But I'm just losin' my mind

Stop me now
Don't wanna go on livin' like this, like this, like this

Like it's the end of the road
and there's nowhere to go
So I'm dyin'
left all alone
With my thoughts and the birds and they're flyin' away
can't even get the wind to stay
How much longer can I take
this feelin', feelin', feelin'
like it's the end of the road
it's not the end of the road

I think I've turned a new leaf over
it ain't great but it's a start
I feel a shift and when I falter
oh oh oh oh oh
I take a breath from my heart

Try not to think
don't wanna give in to this feelin', feelin', feelin'
Like it's the end of the road
and there's nowhere to go
So I'm dyin'
left all alone
With my thoughts and the birds and they're flyin' away
can't even get the wind to stay
How much longer can I take
this feelin', feelin', feelin'




like it's the end of the road
it's not the end of the road

The second verse shows the singer acknowledging some progress by saying they've turned a new leaf over, but still struggling and needing to take a breath from their heart when they falter.
