This is not the end
Krewella Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You close your eyes
And hope that nothing gets through
These walls are high
Got it by a statue
And you've been blind
'Cause it's yourself you consume
But not this time
No I won't let it eat you

Wait, this is not the end
It's where I began
We are up against the world, oh
You know we live for everyday until tomorrow
Hey oh, don't lose your head, we're able
To knock 'em dead
I'll save you
If you're on the edge of Z
This is not the end
This is not the end

This is not the end
This is not the end
This is not the end
This is not the end
This is not the end
This is not the end
This is not the end

The job is through
Yeah, it is done
I own you
This war is won, won
You play your part
Yeah, you hang on
'Cause you'd rather die in my arms
I'll give you nothing but walking dreams
As you sleep, welcome back all your screams
When you wake, play 'em back, split your seems
So you're breaking 'till you bleed

Wait, this is not the end
It's where I began
We are up against the world, oh
You know we live for everyday until tomorrow
Hey oh, don't lose your head, we're able
To knock 'em dead I'll save you
If you're on the edge of Z
This is not the end
This is not the

This is not the end
This is not the end
This is not the end

Wait, this is not the end
It's where I began
We are up against the world oh
You know we live for everyday until tomorrow
Hey oh, hey oh, hey oh, hey oh
Hey oh, hey oh-
This is not the end
This is not the end

End
This is not the end




This is not the end
This is not the end

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "This is not the end" by Krewella speak of overcoming personal struggles and not giving up on oneself. The first verse describes a person closing their eyes and blocking themselves from the world around them, isolating themselves behind high walls. The lyrics suggest that they have been consumed by their own thoughts in the past and have let it take hold of them, but this time, they will not let it eat them. The chorus provides reassurance that this is not the end and where they began, and that they can face the challenges of the world together. The second verse speaks to the idea of being owned by someone who would rather you die in their arms. However, the lyrics inspire a sense of strength and resilience, as the singer promises to fill the person with walking dreams so that they can overcome their fears and push past their limits.


The song itself has a strong electronic dance beat that has become characteristic of Krewella's sound. It was released as a single in 2013 and gained massive success, climbing to number four on the Billboard Hot Dance Club chart. The song has also been remixed by notable DJs such as Vicetone and Culture Code.


Line by Line Meaning

You close your eyes
You try to shut out the world


And hope that nothing gets through
You hope to avoid facing your problems


These walls are high
Your barriers to change are high


Got it by a statue
You got stuck in a rigid way of thinking


And you've been blind
You have been ignorant of the opportunities


'Cause it's yourself you consume
You have been self-destructive


But not this time
You are ready to change


No I won't let it eat you
You have someone to depend on


Wait, this is not the end
This is not the end of the road


It's where I began
It's the start of something new


We are up against the world, oh
We are facing challenges


You know we live for everyday until tomorrow
We live for today and for the future


Hey oh, don't lose your head, we're able
Stay level-headed, we can overcome this


To knock 'em dead
We can come out on top


I'll save you
I will be there for you


If you're on the edge of Z
If you are about to fall


The job is through
The task is complete


Yeah, it is done
It is finished


I own you
You are mine


This war is won, won
Victory is ours


You play your part
You have a role to play


Yeah, you hang on
You hold on tight


'Cause you'd rather die in my arms
You would rather be with someone, even if they're not good for you


I'll give you nothing but walking dreams
I will give you inspiration


As you sleep, welcome back all your screams
All your fears resurface when you're alone


When you wake, play 'em back, split your seems
When you wake up you are at the mercy of your fears


So you're breaking 'till you bleed
You are falling apart


End
It does not end here
