The Finale
The Sing-Off Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

He plants his feet remaining still
A front row seat to incomparable thrill
Reflecting on anything he had ever craved
The sunrise never seemed so sweet,
Entranced by the final ocean breeze,
As the world beneath him starts to shake

Run, run
Run to the hills
Leave behind your dollar bills
The value of paper means nothing now
When everything around you is crumbling down

While finding shelter for the end
They begin reflecting on everything
I mean everything
All the life they spent till then

She turns the page in frantic despair
While hoping that auspicious answers are there
She calls off the search
Accepts her fate
Sits by the window no will to escape

Stay, stay
Right where you are
While death waits outside your door
The sirens are screaming
They're letting you know
To sit back relax and enjoy the show

While finding shelter for the end
They begin reflecting on everything
I mean everything
All the life they spent till then
As rock and ash fall from the sky
So surreal
They hold on to anything
I mean anything
Hoping that life won't pass them by

Non-existing answers
We are now condemned my friends
This is the end

Stay, stay
Right where you are
While death waits outside your door

While finding shelter for the end
They begin reflecting on everything
I mean everything
All the life they spent till then
As rock and ash fall from the sky
So surreal
They hold on to anything




I mean anything
Hoping that life won't pass them by

The second verse follows a woman in despair as she searches for answers before ultimately accepting her fate and sitting by the window with no will to escape. The chorus repeats, emphasizing the theme of staying put while death looms outside the door.


The final verse describes the surreal scene of rock and ash falling from the sky as people cling to anything they can in the hope that life won't pass them by. Ultimately, the song illustrates the idea that in the face of certain doom, humans can only reflect on the lives they've lived and the choices they've made before everything comes crashing down.

SPOILER




Like, forget the whole season... this last performance of Home Free was too awesome. They heard Pentatonix's advice and really did whatever the hell they wanted with the song...
I even got some butterflies when Nick was about to announce the winner, but I kinda knew, I guess we all did... Home Free is for sure the best group this season. Clean sound, awesome lead, MONSTER bass, the BEST beatboxer (IMO better than Kevin), the cleaner harmonies and fuller sound... come on. There was no doubt.

Congratz to all groups, and congratz Home Free, you deserved it



Rahman

I watched other group's performances after watching HF performances for the whole season...gotta say Ten and Vocal Rush are good! Its just Home Free is much better.

1. They have the best bass and beatboxers, pretty similar to Avi and Kevin of PTX in the previous season.

2. Austin sings beautifully, sounds so clean and has great vocal range

3. Rob and Chris are underrated but they are both great singers and able to perfectly harmonize with Austin, the judges took note of that since the first performance.

4. As a group, they've been professionals for longer time than other contestants, they are much more prepared mentally.

5. They evolved through the entire show. Early HF didnt dance as much but you should see how they dance in their last performace.

6. They capitalized on what they are good at, see how much they give Tim's bass singing talent to shine.



Deku ravity

I will explain why Season 4 is better than Season 3

First, the A-, A, and A+
Only 5 groups in season 3 have As but 4 in season 4 but

Season 3 all groups: 16
Season 4 all groups: 10

Next, All performances in Season 3 is 101 in Season 4 is 49

Season 3
Pentatonix: 5
Delilah: 3
Afro Blue: 2 or More
Vocal Point: 1 or More
Darthmouth Aires: 1

Season 4
Ten: 5
Home Free: 3 or more
Vocal Rush: 2
Street Corner Renaissance: 1

Season 3(12 or more/101)there is 89 performances are not A-/A/A+

Season 4(11 or more/49) there is 38 are not A-/A/A+

I know I am comparing them and I know no one cares 😂

Loved the part where Chris and Adam Rupp of Home Free held the trophy together. They started the group - they deserve it!

Scott McClure

MunstersGoHome I am also sure all that live just turned into pure unadulterated detest and jealousy

Scott McClure

MunstersGoHome I agree, Munsters...the losers will go home

Betty Gossell

And I love that Tim encouraged that.........such humility, all of them.

Alex Krauth

Can we all just take a moment to appreciate how humble and encouraging these judges and these contestants are when talking to or about one another?

Alex Krauth

Jaime Dornan Lady not that I know of. This is the TV show they started out on that made them famous.

Jaime Dornan Lady

Alex Krauth Have they ever competed/performed in front of Simon Cowell? I would LOVE to see that & hear what Simon has to say about them. I’m a Home Fry forever now!

Darrell Yancey

my sister is the lead singer for 10 and I am a huge home free fan so it was hilarious when I was up screaming when 10 loss 😂

Manc Yank

Darrell, you have a very talented, beautiful sister. All the group's showcased not only their singing abilities but also their classy behaviour. Their support and friendship with each other made this show extremely enjoyable.

Aprlmoore

Aw bless! Ten really was epic though! I would not have wanted to have judged this!~
