Cool Ending
Reel Big Fish Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

So glad you′re gone
(You just)
You led me on
(Where did)
It go wrong?
(Too bad)
For too long
I live
Without you now
I'll get
Along somehow
I don′t care anyway
I just wanted to say that

Everything is cool
How are things with you?
Everything is cool
I wish you were...

(You say)
We'll be friends
(That just means no sex)
I don't care what you say
I′m tired of fuckin′ you anyway
I guess
It is my fault
But do you
Blame you at all?

I'll have
To let you go
I just want you to know that

Everything is cool
How are things with you?
Everything is cool
I wish you were dead

Everything is cool
How are things with you?
Everything is cool
I wish you were...

Everything is cool
How are things with you?
Everything is cool
I wish you were...

Everything is cool

How are things with you?

Everything is cool

I wish you were dead




I wish you were dead, woo
I wish you were dead

Overall Meaning

The song "Cool Ending" by Reel Big Fish is a breakup song that perfectly encapsulates the emotions of getting over a relationship that has been dragging on for too long. The opening lyrics "So glad you're gone, You just led me on" immediately convey the singer's joy of finally being free from their manipulative partner who had been stringing them along. However, the singer questions where things went wrong, indicating a sense of confusion and self-doubt.


The chorus of the song is sarcastic as the singer tries to convince themselves and their ex that everything is alright and they have moved on. The phrase "Everything is cool" is repeated three times, but the repetition and the tone of the song allude to the fact that this isn't true at all. Moreover, when the singer mentions being friends and that that only means "no sex," they are admitting that they still have sexual feelings for their ex and they don't want to pretend they don't. They seem to shift the blame on their ex, implying that they are tired of having sex with them anyway, and they are not interested in mending the relationship.


The chorus of the song ends with the singer saying "I wish you were dead," indicating that they haven't truly moved on from the relationship and harbor some resentment towards their ex. Overall, the song "Cool Ending" is a relatable break-up anthem that draws attention to the complexities of emotions that come with leaving a long-term relationship.
