End of Time
Serj Tankian [2013] Jazz-Iz-Christ Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
hatred in me
fall asleep
never awake
take time
hatred abound
fall away
end of times
end of times
end of times
you'll never see me again
take to the streets
hatred in you
fall further
never give in
take a hint
hatred within
fall into
never wake up again
In the lyrics to "End of Time," Serj Tankian addresses the themes of hatred, sleep, awakening, and the end of times. The repetition of phrases and words creates a sense of urgency and finality. The song starts with the lines "Take away hatred in me, fall asleep, never awake." Here, Tankian seems to be expressing a desire to remove the negativity and animosity within himself, to escape into a state of unconsciousness where he can find peace and avoid facing the harsh reality.
As the song progresses, Tankian shifts the focus onto others, saying "Take time, hatred abound, fall away, never alive." Here, he suggests that everyone is consumed by hatred, causing them to lose their sense of vitality and purpose in life. The repetition of "end of times" emphasizes the theme of an impending apocalypse or the idea that time is running out. The final lines of the song, "Take to the streets, hatred in you, fall further, never give in," imply that even amidst chaos and hatred, Tankian encourages others to resist the temptation to surrender or conform.
Overall, "End of Time" by Jazz-Iz-Christ (a side project of Serj Tankian) explores the destructive nature of hatred, the longing for escape or relief, and the importance of resilience in the face of adversity.
