Overall Meaning

The lyrics to How to Destroy Angels' The Loop Closes may seem simple at first, but they hold a deeper meaning. The phrase "the beginning is the end" references the cyclical nature of time, where the end of one cycle marks the start of another. This idea is reinforced by the second line, "keeps coming round again," indicating that time is constantly repeating itself. This can be interpreted as a commentary on the monotony and routine of life, with each day feeling the same as the last.


The lyrics also touch on themes of cause and effect, with the end of one cycle leading to the start of another. This can be seen in the title of the song, "The Loop Closes," indicating that the end of the cycle is the moment when everything comes full circle. The repetition in the lyrics emphasizes this idea, creating a sense of inevitability and the idea that everything is connected.


Line by Line Meaning

The beginning is the end
No matter how something starts, it always seems to eventually come back to its original state or cycle.


Keeps coming round again
The cycle repeats itself over and over, never really leading to any concrete progression or change.

This is to be listened with an open and clear mind freely without comparing it to anything Reznor has done previously and you will recognise the musical genius in him, Atticus and Mariqueen. For me it's a success. Peace.

@Dennis Kuntz II yeah it's 2021 & i'm just now making the connection between this & "into the void." i love how HTDA sounds new & familiar at the same time, even now <3

cant wait for their new album w/ HALSEY

Scorn

You can pretty safely compare it to the Ghosts and enjoy it

TC

Can't forget Sheridan. He brings that TDWS sound back.

Bereeze

Agreed, I don't understand why HTDA gets so much hate

John Montalbano

Chopping and sampling something is a new take on it; what you're saying here is 'this reminded me of this other thing he did, except different, and I couldn't overcome that to enjoy it'

This is a piece of art. This transcends all of the meaningless mundane music videos that abound in today's music market. This is excellent use of video editing. Props to Rob Sheridan for the great work.
