At the End
The Negatives Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You've been walking along the edge
So it's been said
And you feel so out of place
It's in your head
It's the end of the line
It's the end of the line

I'm taking my time
I've swallowed my pride
If she ever comes back to me
Hello my goodbye
I'm taking what's mine
So I'm starving the memories
It's the end of the line
Only one stays behind

You've been hiding so long in despair
It shows on your face
Even time couldn't heal what was there
It can't be erased
It's the end of the line
It's the end of the line

I'm taking my time
I've swallowed my pride
If she ever comes back to me
Hello my goodbye
I'm taking what's mine
So I'm starving the memories
It's the end of the line
Only one stays behind

It's the end of the line
It's the end of the line
It's the end of the line
It's the end of the line

I'm taking my time
I've swallowed my pride
If she ever comes back to me
Hello my goodbye
I'm taking what's mine
So I'm starving the memories
Oh no no no
It's the end of the line
I'm taking my time
I'm taking my time
Since there's been a lot of these





It's the end of the line
It's the end of the line

Overall Meaning

The Negatives’ “At the End” is a melancholy song about the end of a relationship. The opening lines address the feeling of being disconnected and lost in life, with the lyrics “You've been walking along the edge, so it's been said, and you feel so out of place, it's in your head". The imagery of walking along the edge implies that the singer is a risk-taker or someone who lives life on the edge, but now they feel like they don’t belong anywhere. The second verse further highlights the pain of moving on from a broken relationship, as the singer has been hiding in despair and feels like the scars of past have never healed, despite time passing. The chorus repeats several times to emphasize the finality of the break-up, and the singer trying to make a clean break from their memories and pain.


In the third verse, the singer takes control of the situation, stating, “I'm taking my time, I've swallowed my pride, If she ever comes back to me, Hello my goodbye, I'm taking what's mine, So I'm starving the memories, It's the end of the line, Only one stays behind”. These lyrics are a clear indication that the singer is done with the relationship - they have accepted the end and don't want to dwell on the past anymore. They acknowledge the pain that the memories bring and resolve to move on as they state, “I'm taking what's mine, So I'm starving the memories”. The repetition of the chorus at the end makes the song linger in the listener's mind, and the repeated line “It's the end of the line” puts an exclamation point on the finality of the relationship.
