End of the Line
Goliath And The Giants Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
She know's he's late, he's always late, so every time she sees the man she says,
You miss what, is not yours
You miss what , is not yours
You miss what , is not yours
This is the night before, she knocks uppon his door, She sits at home drinkin' what if she's not sure. But she has decided, this is the end of the line Ed,
You miss what, is not yours
You miss what , is not yours
You miss what , is not yours
But you don't miss what's right before you, what right before you what's right
You don't miss what's right before your eyes.
The bus arrives, with none inside, she closes her eyes to go to where they hide
Now she's the queen, on the bus in her dream,
And of course the man is no where to be seen.
You miss what, is not yours
You miss what , is not yours
You miss what , is not yours .
But you don't miss what's right before you, what right before you what's right
Now you don't miss what's right before you, what's right before your eyes.
You miss what is not yours
( you don't miss what's right before you, what's right before you, what's right)
You miss what is not yours.
The lyrics of "End of the Line" by Goliath And The Giants explores the theme of missed opportunities and the consequences of taking things for granted. The singer sings about a woman who is waiting for a man who is always late. She is uncertain about their relationship and is tired of waiting. The repetition of "You miss what is not yours" suggests that the man is unaware of what he has and is taking her for granted. The woman has decided that this is the end of the line and decides to move on.
The second verse describes the woman's actions the night before she makes her decision. She drinks while waiting for the man to arrive, but he never comes. She has decided that she needs to move on from the relationship. The third verse describes a dream that the woman has while riding the bus. In her dream, she is the queen of the bus, and the man is nowhere to be found. This could suggest that she has found empowerment and independence without the man in her life.
The chorus "But you don't miss what's right before you, what's right before your eyes" suggests that the man is not appreciating the woman and the love that she has to give. He is blinded by his own selfishness and misses out on something that he may regret later on.
