Endzweck Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The strife causes the strife
Only the reflection of sadness in my eyes and I stop my thought
The glorification of destruction
The earth full of sadness
The faith of an empty world
Where are we heading
What do we wish for
Destination
There is pain in my mind, as so your mind
My hand holding a pen, trembles then stops
The sadness, the sadness gets out here now
I will never stop, to walk
through the darkness that comes before us
The lyrics of Endzweck's song, Destination, speak of a sense of aimlessness and despair, of a world filled with sadness and destruction. The singer of the song is plagued by thoughts of the future and the direction in which the world is heading, and seems to find no solace in the reality of existence. The lyrics are infused with a sense of melancholy and resignation, as if the singer has no hope of finding a way out of the despair that surrounds him.
The opening lines of the song, "The thirteen fact has been chosen/The strife causes the strife" suggest a sense of inevitability, as if the singer has resigned himself to a particular fate or series of events. The mention of "reflection of sadness in my eyes" implies a sense of self-awareness, as if the singer knows that his own sorrow mirrors that of the world around him. The idea of the "glorification of destruction" speaks to a sense of nihilism or fatalism, as if the singer sees only destruction as the ultimate end.
The second stanza of the song speaks to a sense of hopelessness and smallness in the face of the larger world. The mention of the "faith of an empty world" suggests a sense of spiritual emptiness, as if the world has lost its way and has no higher purpose. The final lines of the song, "There is pain in my mind, as so your mind/My hand holding a pen, trembles then stops/The sadness, the sadness gets out here now/I will never stop, to walk through the darkness that comes before us" suggest a sense of determination in the face of despair, as if the singer is resolved to continue living despite the sadness that surrounds him.
