End of the Line
Lysistrata Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You're like the worm punctured by the hook I'm the fish at the end of the line.
It's time to get up and walk home But we still haven't reached the ground The pavement ain't waiting for me Guess we'll be sleeping on the couch
There's no better moment There's no better moment There's no better moment
The silence is surprisingly comfortable This ain't a situation to talk through anyway As the city's pandemonium fades out We're left with the sound of our breath
It's time to get up and walk home But we still haven't reached the ground And the pavement ain't waiting for me Guess we'll be sleeping on the couch
There's no better moment There's no better moment There's no better moment No better time than now...
Drifting through endless oceans Cast the rod across the air
End of the line...
In Lysistrata's song "End of the Line," the lyrics depict a scene where the sofa is compared to a broken elevator crashing through the floor in slow motion. This metaphorical description symbolizes the dysfunctional and stagnant nature of the relationship they are in. The sofa never seems to stop at any landing, just like how their problems and issues never get resolved but instead keep pushing everything out of the way.
As the two lie on the sofa, their legs tangled around each other, the singer compares themselves to a worm punctured by a hook and a fish at the end of the line. This imagery suggests a feeling of being trapped and helpless, unable to escape the repercussions of their actions and choices. It signifies a sense of powerlessness and resignation to the situation they find themselves in.
The song continues with a realization that it's time to get up and walk home, yet they still haven't reached the ground. The pavement, symbolizing stability and security, is not waiting for them, implying that they will have to face the consequences of their actions and find a way to resolve their issues. The repeated line "There's no better moment, no better time than now" reflects a sense of urgency and the need to address their problems rather than prolonging the inevitable.
Overall, "End of the Line" portrays a dysfunctional relationship where the couple feels trapped and powerless, with the understanding that they need to confront their issues and make a change before it's too late.
Line by Line Meaning
The sofa is a broken elevator
Our relationship is dysfunctional and constantly falling apart
Crashing through the floor in slow motion
Our problems and conflicts are causing our relationship to deteriorate gradually
And it never ever seems to stop at any landing
We can't seem to find stability or resolution in our relationship
It just pushes everything out the way
Our relationship troubles are causing disruptions and pushing aside other aspects of our lives
Lying with your head on the armrest
Being physically close, but emotionally distant
Legs all tangled round mine
Our lives and emotions are intertwined, but it's complicated and messy
You're like the worm punctured by the hook
You are vulnerable and affected by the challenges we face
I'm the fish at the end of the line
I am trapped and helpless in this relationship
It's time to get up and walk home
It's time to face the reality and leave this destructive relationship
But we still haven't reached the ground
We haven't found stability or resolution yet
The pavement ain't waiting for me
Life doesn't wait for me to solve my relationship problems
Guess we'll be sleeping on the couch
We'll continue to endure the discomfort and consequences of our failed relationship
There's no better moment
There's no ideal or perfect time to end this relationship
The silence is surprisingly comfortable
The absence of conflict and noise brings a sense of relief
This ain't a situation to talk through anyway
Our problems are too deep-rooted to be resolved through mere conversation
As the city's pandemonium fades out
As external chaos and distractions diminish
We're left with the sound of our breath
We're left alone with the weight of our own choices and emotions
No better time than now...
There's no better time than the present to end this futile relationship
Drifting through endless oceans
Feeling lost and aimless in a vast sea of uncertainty
Cast the rod across the air
Searching for something better or different
Cast the rod across the sky
Yearning for a change or escape from our current situation
We're the beasts at the end of the line
We're trapped in a destructive cycle with no way out
End of the line...
The finality and inevitability of our doomed relationship
