This Is The End Of Your Life
The Juliana Theory Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Hold everything dear, in your hand. In a moment it's gone, everything that you love disappears. Hold everything close, 'cause you may outlast it. Memories are all that remain of the way that it was. Watch it all go by, 'cause it's all that you can do. Everything changes so fast. For better or for worse, it was never up to you. Everything's changing so fast. Hold everything in.
You're a mess. It took years to attain and a second to tear it all down. Burn everything off, 'cause the feeling won't last. Memories are all that remain of the way that it was. Watch it all go by, 'cause it's all that you can do. Everything changes so fast. For better or for worse, it was never up to you. Everything's changing so fast. It's changing now. Listen, every single second counts. Every single moment leads up to now. This is the end of their life. This is the end of your life. This is the end of our life. This is the end of my life.
The lyrics to The Juliana Theory's song "This Is The End Of Your Life" speak to the impermanence of life and the importance of cherishing the things we hold dear. The first verse is a reminder to hold everything close because in a moment it can disappear. The second verse speaks to the fragility of life and how it can take years to build something up, but only a second to tear it all down. The chorus emphasizes the rapid pace of change and how it's never up to us, but we must still hold onto everything we can. The spoken words at the end remind us that every moment counts and they lead up to this moment, right now, which is the end of all our lives.
The song is likely inspired by personal experiences with loss or grief, as well as a recognition of the inevitability of change and the fleeting nature of life. The purpose of the song is to encourage listeners to appreciate what they have in the moment, as it may not last forever, and to reflect on the bigger picture of life and their own mortality.
