End Of The Line
Desolated Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Pain and anxiety are feelings that I feel
They never wash away
They take me to my fucking grave
Life after death
It′s all the same to me
I walk this road
Now end the fucking hurts

UGH!

What I want is to break free
What I need is for you to see
This light slowly fading
I've reached the end of the line

BUSTED!

Down and down again I′m on the bitter end
Life after death I can't get another life
Strife I strife I strife to end my fucking life
I distract, got nowhere to hide

This is the end of the line
I conform to your precious lies
This is the end of the rope
No remorse for the wicked world

There's a voice in the back of my mind
It′s got me hooked like a puppet of strings
I pray for help as the story unfolds
Due to your life I have no future

This is the end of the line
I conform to your precious lies
This is the end of the rope
No remorse for the wicked world

Listen!

Slowly you can see the pain in my eyes
You know I reached my demise
I take a look into the mirror
I know I′m not made for this world

Survival of the fit

Only the strong survive
FUCK!

Overall Meaning

Desolated's song "End of the Line" is a dark and emotive exploration of pain, anxiety, and the struggle to find freedom and meaning in a world that feels constraining and oppressive. The lyrics suggest that the singer is facing intense emotional turmoil that they can't escape from, no matter how much they try to distract themselves or conform to societal expectations. They feel trapped and hopeless, with no real future to look forward to. At the same time, there seems to be a glimmer of hope in the idea that the pain they're experiencing might inspire some kind of change or growth - even if it's painful and difficult.

The song is full of intense emotion. The repetition of "this is the end of the line" suggests a feeling of finality and despair, while the sudden interjection of "UGH!" and "BUSTED!" adds an almost violent edge to the lyrics. The references to life after death and surviving the "wicked world" suggest a deep existential struggle, while the lines about being a "puppet of strings" suggest a feeling of powerlessness and lack of agency.

Overall, "End of the Line" is a haunting and powerful song that speaks to the deep emotional struggles many people face in life, as well as the desire to break free and find meaning in a world that often feels overwhelming and oppressive.

Line by Line Meaning

Pain and anxiety are feelings that I feel
I experience intense emotional pain and fear

They never wash away
These feelings persist and do not fade

They take me to my fucking grave
These emotions are so intense that they could ultimately contribute to my death

Life after death
Whatever happens after we die

It’s all the same to me
I am indifferent towards the unknown beyond death

I walk this road
I am on a path through life

Now end the fucking hurts
I want to stop feeling this intense pain

What I want is to break free
I desire freedom from my struggles

What I need is for you to see
I want someone to empathize with my pain

This light slowly fading
My hope and positivity are disappearing

I’ve reached the end of the line
I have come to a point of no return

Down and down again I’m on the bitter end
I am in a downward spiral of negativity

Life after death I can’t get another life
There is no second chance after death

Strife I strife I strife to end my fucking life
I am struggling to overcome suicidal thoughts and tendencies

I distract, got nowhere to hide
I am trying to avoid my problems, but they continue to follow me

This is the end of the line
I have reached the point of no return

I conform to your precious lies
I am succumbing to societal pressures and deceit

This is the end of the rope
I am at the end of my resources and capacity to cope

No remorse for the wicked world
I have no sympathy for this cruel world

There’s a voice in the back of my mind
I have an unshakable negative thought constantly present

It’s got me hooked like a puppet of strings
I feel controlled by my negative thoughts and emotions

I pray for help as the story unfolds
I am desperately seeking assistance during this difficult time

Due to your life I have no future
Another person’s actions or existence are limiting my potential

Slowly you can see the pain in my eyes
My suffering is apparent through my physical appearance

You know I reached my demise
I have reached my breaking point

I take a look into the mirror
I reflect on my own existence

I know I’m not made for this world
I feel like I do not fit in with society or existence as a whole

Survival of the fit
Only those who are able to adapt and thrive survive

Only the strong survive
Those who are able to bear hardship and difficulty will prevail

FUCK!
A sudden outburst of extreme emotions

in my opinion the fact that there's a a moshpit with extreme guys in it ROCKS!!! the fact that they kick and hit people who are clearly not willing to go in it... get in the freaking pit, beat each other up (would love to join you guys) but leave the people who don't want to out of it!

I've seen their show in Kuala Lumpur. everyone enjoyed it. the crowd hit whatever they want even hit the other crowd but still they show some respect and there is no hatred. and the best thing is, they were great guys, friendly to the local people made us like them. so please don't judge about the "crowd-killers".

@chanceprice4258

Depending on what shows you go to (and pay for) you have to know what type of bands are gonna be there so you know how hard the pit might get you have to look at the pit in a way that you might deliberately get hit so therefore be prepared swing back get your hands up and hit them or don't pay for these types of shows. mosh pits are getting more and more violent I look at them like a fight that can start at any moment so that's why I push people back when I see a "flailing arm swinging ninja" that's coming in 5feet of me so the people behind me and I have the time and space to not get hit deliberately and if they do get within 3 feet of you get ready to kick that mother fucker.

@cfsoulja3249

+Chance Price That's what I tend to look out for at gigs. I don't tend to crowdkill because I'd rather other people enjoyed themselves. I just do the Hardcore dancing as well as push pits and headbanging. But if some dude came trying to hit me for no reason then I'm gonna react.

Perfectly sums up EVERYTHING that's wrong with our scene today. And I know that Desolated seem to be nice people. What good is that when they promote this bullshit brainless "I'm so brutal I brought 15 teenagers to the hospital" moshpit attitude?
In my opinion, crowdkilling is a phenomen that attracts 2 kinds of people at shows: a) Kids who think it's so damn cool b) "Grown-ups" who get their kicks from their cool mosh moves they practiced at home and attend a show just to make everyone see that they are the alpha male in this pit of brainless idiots and not to actually support bands. You could just play an endless 0-0-0-0 breakdown for 30 minutes and they'd probably still be acting like monkeys in a cage.
Still, the hardcore scene is not about who bought the coolest pair of nike shoes or who lifts the most in the gym. At least not the way I define it and the way I learned about it. It's about community. It's about the exchange of political, ethical and personal views that differ from the so-called mainstream and about living them. It's about respect towards each other and about dedication. And most of all, it's about a relationship between a band and the people in front of the stage. If that relationship is based on moshing and crowdkilling, that's a fucking pity.
