The End Justifies The Means
Sunride Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
More precious than fortune and fame is the one that I'm aiming for
Some beg for forgiveness. I have never been down on my knees
Everything they say you obey and everything they ask you to do you will do
It's inside me, can't find it in you
It is in everything I do
What's said and done is justified
All for me and me for myself
The end justifies the means
No need to point the finger. I already know who takes the blame
I was caught red-handed and fair but there's none to feel sorry for
It's late but I move on. I can hear the end calling out my name
Everything they say you obey and everything they ask you to do you will do
It's inside me, can't find it in you
It is in everything I do
What's said and done is justified
All for me and me for myself
It's the thing that makes this all go 'round
The end justifies the means
(I stand up for me - I don't see no one else around - I can't see)
The lyrics of Sunride's song “The End Justifies The Means” suggest that the singer of the song is a person who is misunderstood by society. Many people see the singer as deceitful and selfish, but they are motivated by a desire to achieve a goal that they believe is more important than fame or fortune. The lyrics suggest that this goal drives everything the singer does, and gives their life meaning. They are willing to take risks and break rules to achieve their goal, which sets them apart from others.
The lyrics also suggest that the singer is aware of their own flaws, but they are unapologetic about them. They accept responsibility for their actions, even when they are caught doing something wrong. The singer does not seek forgiveness from others, and instead focuses on moving forward towards their goal. The lyrics of the song seem to suggest that the end justifies the means, and that the singer is willing to do whatever it takes to achieve their goal, even if it means crossing ethical or moral lines.
Overall, the song's message is that everyone has their own motivations and goals, and that society should not judge individuals without understanding their perspective. The singer of the song may be seen as a villain by some, but to themselves, they are the hero of their own story.
