Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Some things are best just left unsaid
End of the line one door closes another door closes and now your boxed in
Feel eyes in the trees the foreboding path the turn of the head I hear it laugh it says Hang em Now It says Hang em High When you're done then, Hail to the sky
The lyrics to Ofln - Devildriver's song "End Of The Line" convey a sense of darkness, betrayal, and being trapped in a hopeless situation. The opening lines, "I do declare there's something in the air, I'm burning the candle at both ends, bitter betrayals, skeleton keys, houses to haunt," describe a sense of impending doom and being surrounded by deceit and haunted memories. The singer acknowledges this but seems accepting of the situation, as they say, "Well, it's alright by me."
The lyrics then shift to the theme of "rags to ruin" and "some fool handy choices." This suggests that the singer has made mistakes or poor decisions that have led them to their current state of despair. Additionally, the line "Some would say, not a ghost of a chance" implies that the singer's chances of redemption or escape are slim.
The phrase "the ghosts in my mind, they're one of a kind" suggests that there are haunting thoughts and memories that control and guide the singer's actions. These ghosts tell the singer what to do, yet it leads to a shutdown, implying that their choices have only led to more misery.
The next part of the lyrics, "some things are best just left unsaid," hints at the notion that some truths or secrets are better kept hidden. This further contributes to the overall atmosphere of darkness and secrecy in the song.
The chorus, "end of the line, one door closes, another door closes, and now you're boxed in," illustrates a sense of being trapped, with no way out. The repetition of doors closing symbolizes the closing off of opportunities and a sense of finality.
The final lines, "feel eyes in the trees, the foreboding path, the turn of the head, I hear it laugh, it says Hang em Now, it says Hang em High, when you're done then, Hail to the sky," create a menacing atmosphere. This suggests a presence or unseen force that taunts or commands the singer to inflict harm or punishment upon themselves or others.
Overall, the lyrics of "End Of The Line" paint a picture of a character trapped in a web of betrayal, haunted by their own choices and haunted memories, and forced to face their own destructive tendencies. The imagery evokes a sense of hopelessness and foreboding, drawing the listener into a dark and sinister world.
