At The End Of The Day
Old Gray Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
and i'm trapped beneath ice and snow.
where my words are spoken
through broken teeth that chatter
so shatter my frozen heart
so shatter watch these bones as they fall apart
we'll stand as tall as mountains
we'll talk of love and all that fuels
and find the courage to scream
bury me with the great ships at the bottom of the sea
and let these waves wash over us so we can finally see that
we are not alone.
there's so much more for us
despite the distance
we're still one at heart
i'm afraid of the future
but I have sutures to mend our broken hearts
The lyrics of Old Gray’s song “At the End of the Day” expresses the emotions of a person who has gone through a tough phase in life and is struggling to cope with its aftermath. The opening line “My lungs are empty and I'm trapped beneath ice and snow” portrays the feeling of suffocation and being stuck in a situation without any escape. The following lines “where my words are spoken through broken teeth that chatter so shatter my frozen heart” suggest that the person is trying to express themselves but are finding it difficult due to their emotional trauma. The use of imagery “broken teeth that chatter” and “frozen heart” highlights the severity of their emotional state.
The lyrics then speak of standing tall together, with references to “talking of love” and “finding the courage to scream” to express how togetherness and support can help overcome these difficulties. The lines “bury me with the great ships at the bottom of the sea and let these waves wash over us so we can finally see that we are not alone” suggest an openness to the possibility of moving on, embracing change, and finding comfort in knowing that others have faced similar struggles.
Finally, the song acknowledges the fear of what the future may hold, but also holds hope that wounds can heal through the use of “sutures to mend our broken hearts”. The lyrics of Old Gray’s song “At the End of the Day” ultimately express a message of hope, resilience, and the importance of support during difficult times.

Lyrics:
My lungs are empty and I’m trapped beneath ice and snow, where my words are spoken through broken teeth that chatter. So shatter my frozen heart; watch these bones as they fall apart. We’ll stand as tall as mountains, with our arms reaching towards the west. We’ll talk of love and all that fuels us and find the courage to scream: “Bury me with the great ships at the bottom of the sea and let these waves wash over us so we can finally see that we are not alone. There’s so much more for us; despite the distance, we’re still one at heart.” I’m afraid of the future but I have sutures to mend our broken hearts. And I'm afraid of the future but I have sutures to mend our broken hearts.
