Here Comes the End
Gerard Way Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

They took a photograph
Of the place you hail
You're never gonna find what you're looking for
And you're never gonna run from the thing you did
Is it true?
Here is me looking at you

I've got a broken mask
A light I'll never need
My finger on the button if you gotta ask
'Cause we got a love that's bigger than World War Three
Is it true?
Here is me looking at you

The clock is moving
Hands to midnight
Can we get through this?
While the walls come down we all pretend
Here comes the end
Here comes the end (now can you feel, can you feel it?)

The time is running out
The days are moving fast
The riot squads are restless and there's no more light
Just the creeping paranoia and the sleepless nights
Look away
'Cause they got nothing to say

The clock is moving
Hands to midnight
Can we get through this?
While the walls come down we all pretend
Here comes the end
What will we do then?
After midnight
Can we get through this?
Will we all fall down? Well that depends
Here comes the end
(Now can you feel, can you feel it?)
Here comes the end
(Now can you feel, can you feel it? Uh-huh)

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh

Here to tell ya
Well, that it's time to stand up (stand up)
'Cause we won't give in (we won't give in)
Well, everybody gets through this
We'll all get through this
(Now can you feel, can you feel it?)
Here comes the end
(Now can you feel, can you feel it?)
Here comes the end
(Now can you feel, can you feel it?)
Well, everybody gets through this




We'll all get through this
Hey, hey, hey

Line by Line Meaning

They took a photograph
Someone took a picture of the place you call home


Of the place you hail
The picture is of the place where you come from


You're never gonna find what you're looking for
You'll never achieve what you're searching for


And you're never gonna run from the thing you did
You can never escape the consequences of your actions


Is it true?
Are these statements accurate?


Here is me looking at you
I'm observing your reaction to what I've said


I've got a broken mask
I have a façade that's fractured


A light I'll never need
There's positivity I'll never experience


My finger on the button if you gotta ask
I'm controlling the situation, so don't question me


'Cause we got a love that's bigger than World War Three
Our emotions are far more significant than any international battle


The clock is moving
Time is ticking away


Hands to midnight
We're approaching the end of something


Can we get through this?
Can we survive what's coming?


While the walls come down we all pretend
As everything falls apart, we try to maintain order


Here comes the end
The conclusion is approaching


Here comes the end (now can you feel, can you feel it?)
The end is imminent; can you sense it?


The time is running out
We're quickly running out of time


The days are moving fast
Time seems to be accelerating


The riot squads are restless and there's no more light
Society is in chaos; there's no hope left


Just the creeping paranoia and the sleepless nights
All that's left is anxiety and insomnia


Look away
Don't pay attention


'Cause they got nothing to say
They have nothing relevant to add


What will we do then?
What actions will we take once the end arrives?


After midnight
Once the deadline has passed


Will we all fall down? Well that depends
Our survival depends on our behavior and attitude


(Now can you feel, can you feel it?)
Can you sense the end approaching?


Here to tell ya
I'm here to inform you


Well, that it's time to stand up (stand up)
It's time to take action and resist


'Cause we won't give in (we won't give in)
We won't surrender


Well, everybody gets through this
Everyone experiences this type of crisis


Hey, hey, hey
An exclamation of encouragement

They took a photograph
Of the place you hid
You're never gonna find what you're looking for
And you're never gonna run from the thing you did
Is it true?

A light I'll never need
My finger on the button if you gotta ask
Cuz we got a love that's bigger than World War Three



Is it true?
Here is me looking at you


The clock is moving
Hands to midnight
Can we get through this?
While the walls come down we all pretend
Here comes the end
Here comes the end

The riot squads are restless and there's no more light
Just the creeping paranoia and the sleepless nights
Look away

While the walls come down we all pretend

Cuz we won't give up
Well yeah everybody get through this

(Now can you feel can you feel it)
Here comes the end
(Now can you feel can you feel it)
Here comes the end
(Now can you feel can you feel it)
Well now, everybody get through this
We'll all get through this

I love how we leave messages addressing Gerard as if he read the comment section of his videos. He probably doesn't read them because he is too busy living his life, but we still write.

It feels like a collective private diary with a bunch of entries with doodled pink hearts:

💕💖💕🖤💛🧡💔💖💕

Dear Gerard,

I miss you, but I hope you are feeling better. Your latest works have inspired me and brought bitter sweet comfort to my soul.

Love,

Me (All of us)

P.S: I'm still here when (if) you decide to come back. I'll always be here.
💔💓💖💘💚💓💙🧡💌💟💝🖤

Like that but over and over again while the years keep on burning in time.

If we get 10 more seasons of umbrella academy, that means we'll have enough music for an album.

Knox Night

Okay but... Season 1 had more than one Gerard Way song, so maybe sooner than 10 seasons? 😜

My parents don't listen to Mcr or the music that Gerard makes but they enjoy umbrella academy so we both watch it together. I'm excited for us next season and the concert that I'm going to in 2021. You saved my life and thank you. Thank you for creating!
