End Of An Ending
System Syn Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The veins of where my thoughts ran cold
The frozen current that should have marked the end
Was alive beneath the surface
But that wasn't what you wanted afterall
Afterall, oh afterall these years
So I forgive you for your brevity of words
And the ice
the truth
And I've told you many times before
That I can't speak what I'm feeling
And through some words will crest the surface
They are only a distraction
From the knots that twist and coil
In my heart and in my lungs
Tying off my useless
voice
And I'll never learn to come clean
If the slightest truth destroys me
Once again, yes once again
I should have held my tongue
Once again I will close up
And retreat into the silence
Where the water's warm and shallow
Where the sun shines off the surface
A mirage of my contentment
So just forget that for a moment
You caught a glimpse of who I was

This is a testament to the fact that, despite his struggles, there is still some vitality that sustains him.
However, he realizes that this vitality and his innermost thoughts are not what others wanted from him after all. He is forgiving of their brevity of words and icy demeanor, but acknowledges that the truth lies within the depths of his heart. He acknowledges his difficulty in expressing these emotions and opens up about his struggle to communicate what he feels. And though he attempts to speak and express himself through words, he realizes that they are only a distraction from the deeper, more complex emotions that twist and coil within him, tying off his useless voice. He becomes resigned to retreating back into the darkness and silence, where the waters are warm and shallow and the sun shines on the surface, a mirage of contentment.
Overall, the lyrics of End Of An Ending are a poignant glimpse into the emotional turmoil of the artist's psyche.

Line by Line Meaning
Are you drawn to where the waters deepest
Are you intrigued by the depths of my emotions?
The veins of where my thoughts ran cold
The places in my mind where my emotions no longer flow freely
The frozen current that should have marked the end
The numbness I should have felt to signify the end of our relationship
Was alive beneath the surface
But my emotions were still there, hidden below the surface
But that wasn't what you wanted afterall
But you didn't want me to express those emotions
Afterall, oh afterall these years
After all this time we've been together
So I forgive you for your brevity of words
I forgive you for not expressing yourself enough
And the ice that encases as long as you will always know the truth
And the barrier of emotions that still surrounds me, but you still know the truth
And I've told you many times before
I've expressed this to you numerous times in the past
That I can't speak what I'm feeling
That I have difficulty expressing my emotions
And through some words will crest the surface
Although some of my emotions may be expressed
They are only a distraction
They only divert attention from the deeper emotions within
From the knots that twist and coil
From the complex emotions that are difficult to express
In my heart and in my lungs
Within me, deep inside my emotions and my being
Tying off my useless voice
Restricting my ability to express myself
And I'll never learn to come clean
I will never learn to be transparent with my emotions
If the slightest truth destroys me
If the smallest revelation of my true emotions will hurt me too much
Once again, yes once again
Once again, as it has happened before
I should have held my tongue
I should have kept my emotions hidden
Once again I will close up
Once again I will keep my emotions inside
And retreat into the silence
And fall back into a state of emotional numbness
Where the water's warm and shallow
Where my emotions are less complex and less painful
Where the sun shines off the surface
In a place where it's easier to pretend that everything's okay
A mirage of my contentment
A false image of my happiness
So just forget that for a moment
Forget the truth for a brief time
You caught a glimpse of who I was
You briefly saw my true emotions and who I really am
