Iris
Until The End Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Until the end of me,
You′ll be the death of me.
I dare you to cross the line again,
Cause deep down inside,
There's something that waits to be-

Broken Inside,
Feeling alive.
Forced to defy,
Who casts me aside.
I′m waiting to be,
Broken Inside,
Losing my mind.
Gasping for life,
Crashing through tides.
That drive me to find,
The darkness behind,
Will never run dry.
But all still stand.

Until the end of me,
(I swear.)
You'll be the death of me.
(I dare.)
I dare you to cross the line again,
Because deep down inside,
There's something that waits to be;
Cross the line again.
Because deep down inside,
There′s something that waits to be broken.

The thinning line between,
You and my sanity,
Is quickly fading.
Takes just a breeze to cause a storm,
The thinning line between,
You and my sanity,
Is quickly fading.
Takes just a breeze to cause a storm,
Takes just a breath to cause a scream,
It takes me to cause a tragedy.

Until the end of me,
(I swear.)
You′ll be the death of me.
(I dare.)
I dare you to cross the line again,
Because deep down inside,
There's something that waits to be;
Cross the line again.




Because deep down inside,
There′s something that waits to be broken inside.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics in "Iris" by Until The End convey a sense of defiance, desperation, and inner turmoil. The singer addresses someone who they dare to cross the line again, even though they know that this person could be the death of them. The words "Broken inside, feeling alive" suggest a kind of paradoxical existence in which the singer is simultaneously struggling with inner pain and yet still seeking some kind of vibrant experience. The repetition of the line "I'm waiting to be broken inside, losing my mind" contributes to a sense of emotional chaos and instability, as though the singer is teetering on the brink of a breakdown.


The chorus of the song states that until the end of the singer's life, this person will be the death of them, and they dare this person to cross the line again because there is something inside of them that is waiting to be broken. The second verse portrays a sense of a thinning line between the singer's sanity and this other person, and the idea that even a small breeze could cause a catastrophic storm. The final lines of the chorus reiterate the idea that something inside of the singer is waiting to be broken.
