Jami's first recruit was his good friend, bassist Lede, whose skills have been proved on several metal albums in the past years. Their initial idea of making melancholic metal obviously meant that a keyboardist would be needed hence synth player Johnny was recruited. By adding drummer Mika to the line-up and Jani to the guitar Jami had a whole band around him, and End of You had taken its final shape.
With the band formed, they made a video of their song called "Liar" and then little bit after video for thei best demo song "Walking with No One". The video had a positive effect though, raising huge interest among the gothic metal scene. After making the first video End of You recorded a 7-song demo, a demo which was so carefully finished even at its demo stage that Spinefarm Records’ label manager Sami Tenetz took immediate interest in the band. After just a few months of negotiations, End of You was signed to Spinefarm, and the recordings for the band’s first album were started.
In November, 2005 the first single Walking With No One was released in Finland with good success and in March fans will get the much anticipated second single called Upside Down as well as band’s mind-blowing debut album, Unreal. Also known as an excellent live band people can prepare for unique and outrageous live-shows this year throughout the world!
Rome
End of You Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Flying too close to the sun?
Raise your hand and bow to me
Feel your lust, while I'm bleeding
Watching the world
Whole world in my arms
One minute away
Taking my place
In my war
I tell you arise
No time for dying now
People gathering around me
No fate is left for my cause
I choose not to fear you
But I can see it in your eyes
The song "Rome" by End of You seems to be about power, temptation, and the potential costs of pursuing one's desires. The opening lines of "Burn your wings in my flame / Flying too close to the sun?" suggest that the singer (presumably someone in a position of authority or influence) is warning another person against taking too many risks or getting too close to the edge of what is safe or acceptable. The following lines, "Raise your hand and bow to me / Feel your lust, while I'm bleeding," suggest that the singer is also presenting themselves as someone who can satisfy the other person's desires, but who is also bearing a personal cost or sacrifice in order to do so.
The rest of the lyrics seem to depict the singer as someone who is in control of a situation, but who is also potentially vulnerable to attack or betrayal. They describe "watching the world" and holding it "in my arms," indicating a sense of power and control. However, the line "You can't see me hiding" suggests that there may be some element of secrecy or deception involved in the singer's actions. The line "Taking my place / In my war" also implies that there may be some kind of conflict or struggle involved in what the singer is doing. The final lines, "People gathering around me / No fate is left for my cause / I choose not to fear you / But I can see it in your eyes," suggest that the singer is aware of the potential consequences of their actions, but is nevertheless determined to keep moving forward.
Overall, the song seems to be about the complex motivations and risks involved in pursuing power and desire, and the ways in which these pursuits can impact both oneself and others.
