End Credits
London Symphony Orchestra [Orchestra] Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

When the blood dries in my veins and my
Heart feels no more pain
I know, I'll be on my way,
To heavens door,

I know when I'm not,
I'll be hoping I don't drop,
To a place where I will rise, like before,

I know when I'm not,
I'll be hoping I don't drop,
To a place where I will rise, like before,

I can feel, something happening
That I've never felt before
Hopeless dreaming will start,
Dragging me away from heavens door

I can feel, something happening
That I've never felt before
Hopeless dreaming will start,
Dragging me away from heavens door

When my mind stops thinking,
My eyes stop blinking,
I hope
Somebody's there.

And my heart stops beating
And my lungs stop breathing
In air,
I hope somebody cares,

When the blood dries in my veins and my
Heart feels no more pain
I know, I'll be on my way,
To heavens door,

I know when I'm not,
I'll be hoping I don't drop,
To a place where I will rise, like before,

I know when I'm not,
I'll be hoping I don't drop,
To a place where I will rise, like before,

I can feel, something happening
That I've never felt before
Hopeless dreams will start,
Dragging me away from heavens door

When my mind stops thinking,
My eyes stop blinking,
I hope
Somebody's there.

And my heart stops beating
And my lungs stop breathing
In air,
I hope somebody cares,

When my mind stops thinking
My eyes stop blinking




I know
At the end.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "End Credits" by the London Symphony Orchestra are a contemplation of mortality and what happens after death. The opening lines speak of the inevitability of death and the acceptance that it brings. The lines, "When the blood dries in my veins and my heart feels no more pain, I know I'll be on my way, to heavens door" paint a picture of a peaceful passing. The singer predicts that their soul will rise to heaven after they die. They "will be hoping [they] don't drop to a place where [they] will rise, like before" indicating a fear of being reincarnated and going back to this world.


However, as the song progresses, the tone changes. The singer starts feeling "something happening that [they've] never felt before." They describe this feeling as "hopeless dreaming" that will "start dragging [them] away from heaven's door." The song becomes a plea for someone to be there when the singer dies. They say, "I hope somebody's there" as their eyes stop blinking and their heart and lungs stop functioning. The final lines, "When my mind stops thinking, my eyes stop blinking, I know at the end" show the acceptance of their eventual death.


Overall, the song is an emotional and introspective look at mortality and what happens after we die. The lyrics speak to the idea that death is inevitable and that we should try to live our lives in a way that will allow our souls to rest in peace.
