End Credits
Ken Oak Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

i cant stand this attention
i cant take another day
i keep trying to say the wrong things but you still wont go away

looks like the last scene is over
look at all these empty seats
this horse has been dead a long long time but somehow you still believe

and im sorry
yes im sorry
but its too late to change my mind
the ending credits are rolling up the screen

but you keep waiting for the sequel
you want an episode thirteen
you might dye your hair and change your clothes but to me you look the same

the same girl that i fell for
oh so many months ago
maxed out my only credit card
and you made me use your?

yes im sorry, yes im sorry
but its toooo late to change my mind
the ending credits are rolling up the screen

dont try to tell me it aint over
dont try to tell me you can change
i've seen this movie too many times and it always ends the same

and its too late to change my mind
its too late to change my mind
its too late to change my mind
the ending credits are rolling up the screen

rolling up the screen
rolling up the screen

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Ken Oak's song 'End Credits' paint a vivid picture of a protagonist who is unable to continue with the attention he is receiving from his love interest. It is evident that the attention is overwhelming him as he expresses that he can't stand it anymore and that he keeps trying to say the wrong things, but the other person still won't go away. The singer is also aware that the relationship has come to a dead end, and even though the other person believes otherwise, he knows that they're both just watching the end credits roll up the screen.

The singer apologizes for his actions and admits that it's too late to change his mind, and there's no possibility of a sequel that the other person seems to be waiting for. He emphasizes that the movie has played out too many times, and it always ends the same. As the song concludes, the ending credits continue to roll up the screen, signifying the end of the relationship.

In summary, the lyrics of 'End Credits' convey a powerful message of the end of a relationship where one partner has lost interest, and it's too late to rekindle the relationship. It's a relatable theme that resonates with people who have been in similar situations, and the song's melancholic tone captures the emotions of heartbreak beautifully.
