At the End of It All
Combichrist Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I carve your name
Straight across my wrist
Your voice bleeds through
Yelling out my name
Left with a choice
Stand tall or fall down
The laughter in your eyes
Now it's all the same

I would offer you my life
Just to see through your eyes
Just to see the world
As it's meant to be seen
What became of me
It never hurt like this
At the end of it all
A heartless machine
At the end of it all

Now I stand alone
At the end of it all

Everything I need
In front of me
What I want it to be
It cannot be
I never let it out
In secrecy
Within this world
Inside of me





Now I stand alone
At the end of it all

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Combichrist's song At the End of It All seem to describe a narrator who is deeply affected by someone, carving their name across their wrist as an expression of devotion. The person's voice echoes in their mind, with the singer's own self-image tied to this other person, their eyes laughing at them. The lyrics seem to describe a moment of decision, to stand up and be their own person or to give in to the other's power. The second verse seems to imply that the singer is feeling the loss of this other person, and that they feel trapped inside their own head. They do not express these feelings, keeping them locked inside. The end of the song finds the singer alone, standing at the end of it all.


It is unclear who the singer is addressing in the song, but it seems to be someone who has profoundly impacted their life. The lyrics are introspective and express a deep longing to connect with the other person. The imagery of carving their name across their wrist is powerful, symbolizing a willingness to harm themselves in order to show their devotion. The song is melancholic, with an ending that suggests a sense of finality or closure. Overall, the song seems to explore themes of love, loss, and the difficulties of navigating one's own identity when tied to someone else.
