The Bitter End
Sorry no sympathy Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The fact that I am dying
Even if I’m 1,000 miles from my home
My only fear is the fact that we're not trying
And world peace is something we may never know
As the cold consumes my body
I start to lose control
All I wanted was to find myself
You don’t have to listen to my words
If you don’t want to
But when I’m done I’ll be sure to listen
Listen to you
I am the artist of my own reality
With careful hands I sculpted my reflection
Piece by piece at the bitter end
I held the world in my hands
For the first time in my life
I can finally see
That the world is not the problem
The problem was always me
You don’t know me
Well I don’t know myself
You don’t have to listen to my words
If you don’t want to
But when I’m done I’ll be sure to listen
Listen to you
I’ll be sure to listen to you
I’ll be sure to listen to you
Carry me into the sun
Let the light pour through my eyes
Until the dead of night is gone
Carry me into the sun
You're the embodiment of hope
It’s the torch that you hold
I’m a thousand miles from you now
Just know you were my home
The lyrics of Sorry no sympathy's song "The Bitter End" express a sense of acceptance and inner reflection amidst the impending reality of death. The singer expresses fearlessness towards their own mortality, highlighting that their only fear lies in the lack of effort towards achieving world peace. As they confront the coldness consuming their body, they feel a diminishing control, realizing that they have always sought to find themselves, yet their shadow is the only constant they have known.
The song emphasizes the importance of listening, both to the singer's words and to others. They acknowledge that not everyone may want to listen to their thoughts and emotions, but they promise to be there to listen in return. The lyrics also touch upon the concept of self-perception and personal responsibility. The singer claims to be the artist of their own reality, having crafted their self-image piece by piece. However, they come to the realization that the world itself is not the problem, but rather it is their own actions and thoughts that caused their struggles.
The closing lines bring a shift in tone, as the singer asks to be carried into the sun, symbolizing a longing for enlightenment and renewal. They express their belief that the other person is a source of hope and home, even though they are physically separated by a significant distance.
Overall, "The Bitter End" explores themes of self-discovery, introspection, self-awareness, and the longing for connection and understanding. It conveys the message that true growth and change can only be achieved by being open to listening to others and taking responsibility for one's own actions.

I’ll never fear
I am not afraid
The fact that I am dying
Of the certainty of death
Even if I’m 1,000 miles from my home
Regardless of distance from familiarity
My only fear is the fact that we're not trying
Only concerned about lack of effort
And world peace is something we may never know
Realizing the impossibility of global harmony
As the cold consumes my body
When the chill takes over me
I start to lose control
Losing my grip on things
All I wanted was to find myself
My sole desire was self-discovery
But my shadow is all I’ve ever known
Only acquainted with my shadow
You don’t have to listen to my words
No obligation to heed my words
If you don’t want to
If you have no desire
But when I’m done I’ll be sure to listen
Afterward, I will lend an ear
Listen to you
Hear what you have to say
I am the artist of my own reality
I shape my own perception of the world
With careful hands I sculpted my reflection
Meticulously crafting my self-image
Piece by piece at the bitter end
Gradually, even when reaching the difficult point
I held the world in my hands
For once, I had full control over everything
For the first time in my life
A moment of initial realization
I can finally see
I am able to truly perceive
That the world is not the problem
The world itself is not at fault
The problem was always me
I am the source of the issue
You don’t know me
You lack understanding of who I am
Well I don’t know myself
Even I am unaware of my true identity
I’ll be sure to listen to you
I promise to lend my ear to you
Carry me into the sun
Transport me towards the sunlight
Let the light pour through my eyes
Allow the radiance to enter my vision
Until the dead of night is gone
Until the darkness dissipates completely
You're the embodiment of hope
You personify optimism and possibility
It’s the torch that you hold
The symbol of enlightenment you possess
I’m a thousand miles from you now
Currently distanced by a great span
Just know you were my home
Understand that you were my source of comfort
