End Of The Line
Freternia Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And faced the acid rain
Tried to run on rusty nails
Ignoring all your shame
The twisted feel of need
The beast that lurks within
The moonlight shimmers cross the lands
Creating all your sin
And when the morning comes
The spirits calling out my name
When the darkness falls
The shadows embrace
Lost in the twilight
Visions beyond
Falling through darkness
To face the unknown
The true believers laughing
Still worshiping the sun
The cancer slowly spreading
Their fantasy so dumb
As magic slowly dying
The last of dragons slayed
To see their mighty castle
Consumed by hungry flames
And when the morning comes
The spirits calling out my name
When the darkness falls
The shadows embrace
Lost in the twilight
Visions beyond
Falling through darkness
To face the unknown
Do you know the end gets nearer
Can you feel the final dawn
Their angry faces fading
The elves already gone
Everything you ever knew
Seems so lost and yet so true
Another hero falls
It′s the end of the line
Have you ever faced eternity
Seen the darkness that it brings
And the voice that cause insanity
You always try but never feel
And when the morning comes
The spirits calling out my name
When the darkness falls
The shadows embrace
Lost in the twilight
Visions beyond
Falling through darkness
To face the unknown
Hold on
Were waiting for the dawn
Hold on
The end of the line
The song "End of the Line" by Freternia tells the story of a journey to face the unknown and the realization that everything familiar is becoming lost in time. The first verse describes the pain and struggle that one must endure to embark on this journey, even when feeling ashamed and alone. The character is battling with an internal monster and is haunted by its presence. The moon provides a setting for the character's sin and allows them to feel as if they are not alone in their struggle. The second verse speaks of magic and a fantasy world crumbling away. The magic is dying and the castle of the mythical dragons is consumed by flames. This is symbolic of the death of the character's illusions and dreams, as everything they believed in is being destroyed. The chorus speaks of the spirits calling out the character's name in the morning when the darkness falls and the shadows embrace. The character is lost in the twilight, seeing visions beyond and falling into the darkness of the unknown. The bridge’s lyrics speak of facing eternity, the darkness that it brings and the voice that causes insanity. Despite always trying, the character has never truly felt anything. The final chorus speaks of holding on for the dawn, emphasizing the hope that there may be a new beginning and that something of what was once familiar can still be saved.

Have you touched the mask of pain
Have you experienced true agony and suffering?
And faced the acid rain
Have you confronted hardship and adversity head-on?
Tried to run on rusty nails
Have you attempted the impossible, regardless of the pain?
Ignoring all your shame
Have you pushed aside your fears and doubts?
The twisted feel of need
Have you succumbed to desires that you know are wrong or harmful?
The beast that lurks within
Have you accepted the darker parts of your own nature?
The moonlight shimmers cross the lands
Are you entranced by the natural beauty of the world?
Creating all your sin
Despite the beauty, do you still perpetrate evil deeds?
And when the morning comes
Even after facing darkness, hope may still arise
The spirits calling out my name
Possibly, otherworldly forces call out to comfort you
When the darkness falls
However, the darkness still lingers, waiting for its chance
The shadows embrace
It is not necessarily a time of peace, but of darkness enveloping everything
Lost in the twilight
In this darkness, you may feel lost and confused
Visions beyond
You may even see things that aren't of this world
Falling through darkness
In the midst of all this, you may feel like you're falling
To face the unknown
And you don't know what's waiting for you at the bottom
The true believers laughing
Even in the face of darkness, there are those who persist in their beliefs
Still worshiping the sun
Despite everything, they cling to a hope that may be futile
The cancer slowly spreading
But the root of their hope may be dying, and something toxic is taking its place
Their fantasy so dumb
Their hope may come across as foolish to those who see the world as it is
As magic slowly dying
Even the very essence of their hope may be dying
The last of dragons slayed
The last remnants of their hope appears to be vanishing
To see their mighty castle
Their illusions are being shattered
Consumed by hungry flames
And all that's left is destruction and chaos
Do you know the end gets nearer
Do you sense that your time is running out?
Can you feel the final dawn
Do you feel like the end is drawing near?
Their angry faces fading
As the end approaches, people may grow resentful and angry
The elves already gone
Others may be disappearing, leaving you alone
Everything you ever knew
The world may seem like it's collapsing around you
Seems so lost and yet so true
Despite the chaos, there still seems to be some semblance of meaning
Another hero falls
Even those who were once strong may eventually succumb
It's the end of the line
But even at the end, there is always hope
Have you ever faced eternity
Have you ever contemplated the vastness of time and the universe?
Seen the darkness that it brings
Have you experienced the sense of hopelessness and despair that can come with that knowledge?
And the voice that cause insanity
Have you heard the siren's call that drives some to madness?
You always try but never feel
Do you feel like you are always striving for something, but never fully achieving it?
Hold on
Even in the face of the unknown and despair, don't give up
Were waiting for the dawn
Hold on, and one day the light will come.
The end of the line
Until then, this may be the end of one road, but not the end of the journey as a whole.
