Life On Ending
Bang Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

For countless hours I think of life
My being seems meant to be
My thoughts are bright my mind is clear
My body shakes with health and fear
Mornings gone the time stands still
I look at life it brings a chill
Before you came I was not known
Now you leave I'm still alone
I see a future burning near
I'm not included you left me here
Time has gone it's closed it's eye
My God I'm scared don't let me die
I know that you don't wanna see me
Walking on your velvet floor
Why don't you even wanna hear me.
Knocking at your golden door
Well there's something I must tell you
Before I go before I go yeah
I've got to leave this place
Gotta see you Lord, Gotta see you lord
Gotta see my lord... Gotta see you lord
Gotta see my lord... Gotta see you lord
I see a future burning near
I'm not included you left me here




Time has gone it's closed it's eye
My God I'm scared don't let me die... die

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Bang's "Life On Ending" are poignant and emotive, speaking to the fear of mortality and the desire to be loved and remembered before one's time is up. The song begins with the singer reflecting on life, noting that their thoughts are bright and their mind is clear, but their body is racked with both health and fear. They feel isolated and alone, with a chill running down their spine as they consider the unknown future. The singer then turns their attention to a specific person, perhaps a lover or friend, who has recently left them behind. Despite feeling abandoned, the singer still sees a burning future ahead of them. They long to be included in this future, but fear they will be left behind yet again. Time, they believe, is closing its eyes on them - a sentiment that speaks to the fleeting nature of life itself. The song ends with the singer imploring their Lord, whoever that may be, for help and guidance.


Overall, "Life On Ending" is a powerful meditation on the transience of life, the fear of being alone, and the longing for love and connection. Its stripped-down, acoustic sound highlights the raw emotion of the lyrics, and the steady beat gives the song a sense of momentum that mirrors the inexorable march of time.

@carterlove7293

Trying to comment on things sometimes instead of only watching them over and over, so here’s a list of all my favorite bits:

- the opening notes, with each little group (especially BEST being in order)
- Grian’s grumpy little face getting put back to yellow after Bdubz killed him
- BEST being wholesome tbh
- the fact you draw Lizzie with fairy wings bc of the Fairy Fort
- Cleo’s little laugh and smile I adore it
- Cleo and Etho getting bubbled up out of the ground for their attack
- slowing the animation down to focus on the four remaining players before the final showdown



@starrad354

For those of you who don’t know:
Grian ~ The person on the thumbnail; the character shown on 0:08
Scar ~ the person with the ‘cross’ on his forehead
Bdubs ~ the person who kills Grian 0:19
Etho ~ has a mask and is part of the frame ‘put your best face on’ at 0:36
Smallishbeans ~ he is the guy with the long beard
MumboJumbo ~ he kills Smallishbeans at 00:28
Solidarity ~ the person on the left at 0:31
Skizzleman ~the person holding the ‘S’ shield at 0:36
Tango ~ the person on the most right holding the ‘T’ shield, noticeably had pointy ears
Bigbst4tz2 ~ the person with the short beard at 0:45
LDShadowlady ~ she is the one with butterfly wings/two buns in her hair
ZombieCleo ~ the character with torn clothes, stitches on her chin and stripes on her legs
Impulse ~ the guy beside Grian at 1:45

The final contestants (the four headshots at the end) were:
Rendog ~ the guy with sunglasses.
PearlescentMoon ~ she is the character with the shoulder-length hair and hoodie
Martyn/InTheLittleWood ~ the person with the exercise headband sort of thing on his head
Smajor1995/Dangthatsalongname ~ he is one of the final contestants; the guy with the dot/crystal things floating on his head

I think that’s everyone hope this helped



@caitlin5485

This is legit fire:

Best parts of it (in my opinion)
0:00 I love how the intro shows the different alliances and players. Goes so well to the beat as well!
0:17 Bdubs killing Grian and Grian looking up after WAS SO SMOOTH. Went perfectly with the beat!
0:27 Mumbo and Scar both have amazing designs. The fact that Scar uses magic instead of lava in the animation just 10/10
0:35 BEST WAS SO GOOD WENT PERFECTLY WITH THE SONG AND THE ANIMATION OF THE LIKE PUTTING SHIELDS UP
0:41 Ren's design is so cool I love it
1:01 GRIAN LOOKS SO SMUG I LOVE IT. The animation really captures how Grian was like when he was a red name!
1:15 Cleo... LOOKED SO BADASS IN THIS PART!!!
1:26 Even though it doesn't really show Scar falling, just the way it was animated makes it feel like he did. Scar's death stare at the end was so good as well !!!
1:31 The fact that (again) Scar uses magic to match with his character... Just those small tricks that make the animation better. Also, Tango (I think it was him) giving the life to Scar... The animation was so good there!
1:42 LITERAL CHILLS GRIAN AND IMPULSE LOOK SO GOOD HERE!!! The fact that they look so badass then the wither comes just AMAZING.
1:53 I thought Bdubs killing Lizzy looked so cool. Then Grian shooting Bdubs...... YES!
2:07 It adds so much how it goes with the beat and then the small animations each one has. Well done!
2:16 GG to Scott!!!! The final animation was so cool. So much suspense leading up to it.

Overall it was AMAZING! The little details you put in it just brought it up to a whole new level. Great job!!!

Scar's design is so cool, and the way he uses magic instead of a normal bucket really adds to how good this animation is!

@Eldritch-Lemon

I agree I think if I recognize scars design it's based off another character named scar in fullmetal Alchemist cuz it looks very similar

@Eldritch-Lemon

Also I don't understand what you mean by bucket I must know

@AnaTheJack

@@Eldritch-Lemon Instead of animating him with a lava bucket they animated him with magic
