The End
Planet Funk Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And my head spins the final song
I'll do anything she says
There's something new around the bend
I'm beginning at the end
At the end's where I begin
Sense has gone we're on our way
Stood behind the waterfall
At the end is where we meet
The dawn is runnin' down the street
But they can never catch us now
There's something new around the bend
I'm beginning at the end
At the end's where I begin
The night is late the day is young
My head spins the final song
I'll do anything she says
You know it's been a while since I saw you
At the end is where we meet
The dawn is runnin' down the street
But they can never catch us now
The night is late the day is young
My head spins the final song
I'll do anything she says
There's something new around the bend
I'm beginning at the end
At the end's where I begin
The lyrics to Planet Funk's song "The End" evoke a feeling of living in the moment and embracing the unknown. The song begins with the line "The night is late the day is young," which sets the tone for a sense of adventure and spontaneity. The singer mentions that his head is spinning with the final song, perhaps indicating a sense of urgency or a desire to make the most of the moment. The repeating line "At the end's where I begin" further emphasizes the idea of starting anew or taking a different direction.
As the song progresses, the singer mentions being on their way and possibly under the influence of alcohol ("Just another drink away"). The image of being "behind the waterfall" adds to the sense of secrecy or a feeling of being hidden away. The idea of meeting at the end of something - whether it be the night or some other event - and the dawn "running down the street" suggest a reckless abandon for chasing experiences and not wanting to let go. The song ends with the repeating lines "The night is late the day is young / My head spins the final song / I'll do anything she says," conveying a sense of surrendering to the moment and any possibilities it may hold.
Overall, "The End" speaks to the desire to live in the moment and embrace any possibility that may arise. It captures the feeling of being caught up in the thrill of the moment and the uncertainty of what may come next.
