'Til the End of Time
Delerium Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

The lessons were all learned
My soul has charred, what they burned

'Til the end of time
'Til the end of time
(You should apologize)

So silence shamed me, shame
She brought with her doubt and blame

'Til the end of time [Repeat: x4]

Now it's your turn to cry
Spend your life wondering why
You knew





'Til the end of time [Repeat: x4]

Overall Meaning

The song 'Til the End of Time by Delerium is about the lessons learned in life that may cause pain and suffering, but ultimately lead to growth and strength. The line "The lessons were all learned, my soul has charred, what they burned" speaks to the idea that the experiences we go through can leave scars on our souls, but these scars can also serve as reminders of the lessons we've learned. The repetition of "Til the end of time" throughout the song reinforces the idea that these lessons stay with us forever.


The second verse talks about the shame and doubt that can come from experiencing pain and struggling with the lessons learned. "She" in the line "So silence shamed me, shame, she brought with her doubt and blame" may refer to the pain that the singer has experienced. The repetition of "Til the end of time" in this verse and throughout the rest of the song also acts as a reminder that these struggles will continue as we navigate through life.


The final lines of the song are directed towards someone else, telling them that it's their turn to cry and to spend their life wondering why. The singer seems to be saying that they have already gone through the struggles and have learned from them, while the other person has yet to go through the same experiences. The repetition of "Til the end of time" in these final lines could be interpreted as a warning to the other person that their struggles will also be ongoing and long-lasting.


Overall, 'Til the End of Time is a powerful song about the struggles and pain that come with life's lessons, but also acknowledges the growth and strength that can come from them.
