Ending
Isak Danielson Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

we're at the end of the light
she keeps me from closing my eyes
keeps me from sleeping at night
don't let me go
we've been talking a while
looking at everything bright
... she asked me i'm fine
just don't let me go
there came a time
you were the only one
you were the only one
the only one
maybe i could be your only price
maybe you could ...
even when i falling back
he still believ i try
maybe we could be a symphony
and maybe i could lern a play
you could write our story
at the end of the line
she keeps me from holding her tight
trying to make sure she's fine
don't let me go
please let me go
there came a time
you were the only one
you were the only one
the only one
maybe i could be your only price
even when i falling back
he still believe i try
maybe we could be a symphony
and maybe i could lern a play
you could write our story
i just write our way
but live is never ... like
but live is never ... like
she took me ...
lives never ... like
lives never ... like
maybe i could be your only price
maybe you could ...
even when i falling back
you still believe i try
maybe we could be a symphony
and maybe i could lern a play
you could write our story




i just write our way
i just write our way

why do i listen to this and hear a man in doubt about 2 women? the verse one he use "she" .
"She keeps me from closing my eyes
Keeps me from sleeping at night
Don't let me go"

I'm imagining that its the woman he cheated with keep him awake, that he keep thinking about her. and how she wishes he will never let her go.


that might be the reason why the pre-chorus change to "you" meaning his official partner.
"There came a time
When you were the only one
You were the only one
The only one"

how they try to make the relationship work, how his official partner still believe in him and still trying to hold on. doesn't matter he keep cheating and falling for the other woman.
'Even when I'm falling back
You still bеlieve I tried'


that's where he suggest may be they could live like this, with him going back and forth between 2 woman? that by the end he might finally know how to juggling between them
'Maybe we could be a symphony
And maybe I could learn to play
You could write that story
While I just ride the wave (this could mean he took advantage of the current situation)'

even more on this part, when the other woman want to end this, its him who trying to hold on. that he want to make sure she is fine.
'We're at the end of the line
She keeps me from holding her tight
Trying to make sure she's fine
Don't let me go'

and by that, his official relationship stumbled down again and crushing like all the effort now useless. that finally his official partner now want to end this, that finally she stop waiting for him to decide and want him to let her go.
'We took hundred steps back
How you said "goodbye" was sad
Now when I think of it I...
Please let me go''

We're at the end of the line
She keeps me from closing my eyes
Keeps me from sleeping at night
Don't let me go
We've been talking awhile
Looking at everything bright
Wrote and she asks me, I'm fine
Just don't let me go
There came a time when you where the only one
You were the only one
The only one
Maybe I could be your only prize
Maybe you would light it wide
Even when I've fallen back
You still believe I tried
Maybe we could be a symphony
And maybe I could learn to play
You could write that story
While I just ride the wave
We're at the end of the line
She keeps me from holding her tight
Trying to make sure she's fine
Don't let me go
We took hundred steps back
How you said goodbye was sad
Now when I think of it add, "please let me go"
There came a time when you were the only one
You were the only one
The only one
Maybe I could be your only prize
Maybe you would light it wide
Even when I've fallen back
You still believe I tried
Maybe we could be a symphony
And maybe I could learn to play
You could ride that story
While I just ride the wave
But life is never like that
But life is never like that
She took me in and now I feel
Still know life's never like that
Life's never like that, life's never like that
Maybe I could be your only prize
Maybe you would light it wide
Even when I've fallen back
You still believe I tried
Maybe we could be a symphony
And maybe I could learn to play
You could write that story
While I just ride the wave
While I just ride the wave

This voice is pure ecstasy. Very underrated artist.

@heliaalves9062

Severely underrated. I can't believe I've only just found him!

@familyguy6668

If overrated means money , sex , & drugs then underrated doesnt sound so bad. Maybe hes our secret so he can express his soul instead of being a puppet sell out like most artist that end up switching for the clout ...you cant devalue him hes not under anything just cause he doesn't have however much likes you think is enough to be valuable ? We Have music industry making young thug more famous but can his gibberish compete with this ? The media wants to pollute you 💯 Just expressing myself no hate ...
