August Ends Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
trying to hold on to this emotion,
I've lost all faith,
Hawaiian paradise,
but was your choice
And if you wanted to know,
how the story goes,
three simple words will not be heard,
from me
The story of my life,
a picture perfect movie,
not so perfect ending,
the story of my life,
i've watched it slip away,
the glass is now half empty,
to my dreams I'm under you
(to my dreams I'm under you)
I've cast it all away,
things i thought were mine, all mine
(mine, all mine)
any other day,
it frustrates me,
the truth is thats the way we used to be
And if you wanted to know,
how the story goes,
without me,
three simple words will not be heard,
from me
The story of my life,
a picture perfect movie,
not so perfect ending,
the story of my life,
i've watched it slip away,
the glass is now half empty,
to my dreams I'm under you
(to my dreams I'm under you)
And when i close my eyes,
and think of this tragedy,
and everything that you once said,
has now meant nothing to me
The story of my life,
a picture perfect movie,
not so perfect ending,
the story of my life,
i've watched it slip away,
the glass is now half empty,
to my dreams I'm under you
(to my dreams I'm under you)
The lyrics of August Ends's song "Untitled" depict a forlorn mood of a protagonist who has lost faith due to the aftermath of a failed relationship. The first two lines, "Poetically, I admit emotion / trying to hold on to this emotion" suggest that the singer has come to terms with their emotional turmoil and is trying to hold on to those feelings. But the next line "I've lost all faith" showcases their realization that it's time to give up, as they reminisce their past in a "Hawaiian paradise." The line "but was your choice" portrays that the ending of the relationship was not their choice.
The chorus "The story of my life, a picture perfect movie, not so perfect ending, the story of my life, I've watched it slip away, the glass is now half empty, to my dreams I'm under you" reflects on the singer's narrative, that their life story was picture-perfect until the sour end of their relationship. The phrase "the glass is half empty" is a metaphor for their hopelessness, and the line "to my dreams I'm under you" signifies that they are haunted by their past lover in their dreams.
The lover's betrayal is apparent in the lines "And when I close my eyes, and think of this tragedy, and everything that you once said, has now meant nothing to me." The singer is left to ponder the irony of their past lover's words and how they now sound hollow. The chorus repeats, and we end the song with the singer's realization of their suffering and a sense of loss.

The story of my life,
The narrative of my existence,
a picture perfect movie,
was once an ideal and flawless cinematic experience,
not so perfect ending,
but it now has an imperfect conclusion,
i've watched it slip away,
I have seen my life slip through my fingers,
the glass is now half empty,
my perspective has shifted to a negative outlook,
to my dreams I'm under you
I feel trapped under your control.
I've cast it all away,
I have let go of everything,
things i thought were mine, all mine
all of the possessions I once believed belonged to me,
any other day,
on any other occasion,
it frustrates me,
it would bother me,
the truth is thats the way we used to be
however, that is how we interacted with each other in the past.
And when i close my eyes,
Whenever I shut my eyes,
and think of this tragedy,
and reflect upon this awful situation,
and everything that you once said,
and all of the things you used to tell me,
has now meant nothing to me
now carry no significance to me.
