The End
Flick Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

The monster's on the balcony
And he wants to join your party
Do you let him in?
The monster's on the balcony
And swears that you're the enemy
You can't let him win

Doesn't it feel good to be yourself at the end?
Doesn't it feel good to be yourself at the end?

The monster - he's been chasing you
And that I think you know it's true
Or did you let him in?
The monster - he's been after you
And when he catches up with you
You can't let him win

Doesn't it feel good to be yourself at the end?
Doesn't it feel good to be yourself at the end?
Doesn't it feel good to be yourself at the end?
Doesn't it feel good at the end?





Doesn't it feel good?
Doesn't it feel good at the end?

Overall Meaning

The song "The End" by Flick is a haunting exploration of the struggle to maintain one's sense of self in the face of inner demons, represented in the form of a monster. In the opening lines, the monster is described as being "on the balcony" and "wanting to join your party." This could be interpreted as an internal struggle, with the monster representing self-doubt or negative self-talk, trying to invade the singer's mind and ruin their celebration of their own identity. The question posed to the listener is whether to allow this negativity to take hold or to resist it.


The chorus of the song asserts the importance of being true to oneself, even in the face of adversity. "Doesn't it feel good to be yourself at the end?" is repeated several times, emphasizing the payoff of staying true to one's identity rather than succumbing to negative influences. The second verse reinforces the idea that the monster represents a personal struggle, stating that "he's been chasing you" and "he's been after you." However, the song ultimately offers hope that one can overcome these challenges and emerge with a strong sense of self.


Overall, "The End" is a powerful meditation on the importance of staying true to oneself in the face of inner demons. The imagery of the monster on the balcony creates a vivid metaphor for the struggle to maintain a positive sense of self, and the repeated chorus emphasizes the joy that can come from overcoming such challenges.
