The End
RKVC Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It's up to you to let it go instead.
They told you what you have is all you get...
When you've come this far,
You just want the road to end,
Until you get there and,
You just want the road again.
The end is not the point of getting where you're going.
It's the going and the getting,
Until you get to the end.
You let yourself become something they want,
It's just because they got it all wrong,
All you know, unlearn and forget...
When you've come this far,
You just want the road to end,
Until you get there and,
You just want the road again.
The end is not the point of getting where you're going.
It's the going and the getting,
Until you get to the end.
When you've come this far,
You just want the road to end,
Until you get there and,
You just want the road again.
The end is not the point of getting where you're going.
It's the going and the getting,
Until you get to the end.
This is not the end.
At its core, RKVC's "The End" is a song about overcoming fear and realizing that the journey is just as important as the destination. The lyrics address the negative impact that others' opinions and expectations can have on one's self-view and desires. The singer encourages the listener to free themselves from these constraints and to focus on the present moment, relishing the process of getting where they want to be as opposed to fixating on the endpoint.
The concept of the song is further emphasized by the repetition of the phrase, "When you've come this far, you just want the road to end, until you get there and you just want the road again." This line suggests that the listener may occasionally wish for instant gratification, but ultimately derives more meaningful fulfillment from the journey itself. By choosing to "unlearn and forget" the negative thoughts of others, the listener can have agency in shaping their own path.
One notable feature of the song is its upbeat, almost dance-like melody, which contrasts somewhat with its introspective lyrics. This might suggest the need for the listener to actively change their outlook and take charge of their own experience.

You're so afraid because of something they said,
You are scared because of the words of others.
It's up to you to let it go instead.
It's your choice to stop being affected by what they say.
They told you what you have is all you get...
They limited your potential by telling you you can't have more than what you already do.
When you've come this far,
After all the progress you've made,
You just want the road to end,
You want to reach your goal and be done with the journey.
Until you get there and,
But then once you reach your goal,
You just want the road again.
You realize you miss the journey itself.
The end is not the point of getting where you're going.
The destination is not the sole purpose of your journey.
It's the going and the getting,
What truly matters is the process of getting there.
Until you get to the end.
Until you finally reach your destination.
You let yourself become something they want,
You changed who you are to please others.
It's just because they got it all wrong,
They don't really know what's best for you.
All you know, unlearn and forget...
You need to let go of what you have been taught to learn something new.
This is not the end.
There is more to come and more to explore.
