The End Again
Human Kitten Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

The people that you rely on
Might one day have to leave you
And I know it′s a lot of responsibility
To have an illness like this
Something that will tell you
You can't out of bed
No no no, you′re not allowed to smile
You stupid fucking worthless shithead

It's not that I don't want to talk to you
It′s just that I don′t know how to
I've got nothing to say, I′m afraid of everything




I just don't want to tell you that I want to die again
I just wish all the good things didn′t have to end

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Human Kitten's "The End Again" highlight the struggles of someone dealing with mental illness and the fear of relying on others. The first few lines focus on the realization that those the person relies on most could leave at any moment. This can be a daunting thought for anyone, but especially for someone with a mental illness. The weight of responsibility can feel overwhelming, amplified by the fact that the individual's illness prevents them from doing certain things, such as getting out of bed or even smiling. The lyrics highlight the inner turmoil and negative self-talk that may plague someone dealing with mental illness, using harsh language to describe themselves as "stupid fucking worthless shithead."


The second verse delves deeper into the complexity of mental illness, touching on the struggle to communicate with others about what they're going through. The person may feel disconnected from those around them, unsure how to express their feelings or even feeling like they have nothing to say. There is a fear of being vulnerable and opening up about wanting to die again. The final line, "I just wish all the good things didn't have to end," highlights the feelings of hopelessness and despair that can often accompany depression and other mental illnesses.


It's important to note that while these lyrics showcase the struggles of mental illness, they also offer a glimpse of hope. By sharing the experiences with others through music, it provides a means of connection and understanding.

You cannot get out of bed
