Theory of a Deadman Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
At the end
Say goodbye to all your friends
Here we go watching the sun go 'round
Sitting on a rooftop making time stop
I never wanna come back down, never wanna come down
It's the end of the summer
Those days are gone, it's over now were moving on
It's the end of the summer
But we'll see it all again
So hold on 'till this moment 'till then
It's the end of the summer
Here we stand
In the middle of an empty street
Tell me where you wanna go
I''ll tell you that's where I wanna be
Say goodbye to the warm breeze
We could be almost anywhere
I'll miss you 'till the next time
I hope I see you there
I hope I see you back here.
It's the end of the summer
It's the end of it all
Those days are gone, it's over now were moving on
It's the end of the summer
But we'll see it all again
So hold on 'till this moment 'till then
It's the end of the summer
It's the end of the summer
End of the summer
Ride's almost over
It's getting colder
Take one last look
Before it passes by, before it passes you by
It's the end of the summer
It's the end of it all
Those days are gone, it's over now were moving on
It's the end of the summer
But we'll see it all again
So hold on 'till this moment 'till then
It's the end of the summer
It's the end of the summer
It's the end of it all
Those days are gone, it's over now were moving on
It's the end of the summer
But we'll see it all again
So hold on 'till this moment 'till then
It's the end of the summer
The song “End of the Summer” by Theory of a Deadman is a poignant and melancholic reflection of the end of a season, and the passing of time. The lyrics evoke a sense of nostalgia and longing for the carefree days of summer, marked by the end of a chapter, and the feeling of moving on from people and places. The opening lines, “Here we are/At the end/Say goodbye to all your friends” suggest that the singer is bidding farewell to a phase of their life, and the friends that they associate with it. As they watch the sun go down on a rooftop, they express a desire to hold on to the moment, capturing a sense of wistful melancholy.
The song’s chorus features the repeated line “It’s the end of the summer” as a refrain, emphasizing the finality of the season’s end. The verses detail the singer’s wishes and hopes for the future, as they stand in the middle of an empty street, reflecting on where they have been and where they want to go. They express a desire to be with the person they are addressing in the song, hoping that they will meet again one day. Ultimately, the song is a bittersweet reflection on change and the passage of time, with the end of summer serving as a metaphor for the transitions and transformations we experience throughout our lives.

Here we are
We have reached the end of the summer
At the end
The summer has come to a close
Say goodbye to all your friends
It's time to bid farewell to our companions from the summer
Here we go watching the sun go 'round
We are observing the last sunset of summer
Sitting on a rooftop making time stop
We are slowing down time as we sit on the roof
I never wanna come back down, never wanna come down
I don't want this moment to end.
It's the end of the summer
The summer season is over
It's the end of it all
Everything that involves the summer holiday is ending
Those days are gone, it's over now were moving on
The days of summer are over, and we must move on
But we'll see it all again
We will experience another summer soon
So hold on 'till this moment 'till then
Let's cherish the memories of this moment and wait for the next summer to come.
Here we stand
We are standing on an empty street
In the middle of an empty street
The street is deserted
Tell me where you wanna go
Where do you want to be?
I''ll tell you that's where I wanna be
I want to be where you want to be.
Say goodbye to the warm breeze
We say goodbye to the summer breeze
We could be almost anywhere
We can be anywhere we want to be
I'll miss you 'till the next time
I will long for you until we meet again.
I hope I see you back here
I hope to see you again in this place
Ride's almost over
Our summer vacation is coming to an end
It's getting colder
The temperature is dropping as we move out of summer and into autumn.
Take one last look
Let's take a final look
Before it passes by, before it passes you by
Before this moment ends, and we lose it forever
It's the end of the summer
The summer season is over
But we'll see it all again
We will experience another summer soon
So hold on 'till this moment 'till then
Let's cherish the memories of this moment and wait for the next summer to come.
It's the end of the summer
The summer season is over
End of the summer
The summer has now come to an end.
