End Of The Line
VVE Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Need... more and more
Tainted misery.
Bleed... battle scars
Chemical affinity.
Reign... legacy
Innocence corrode.
Stain... rot away
Catatonic overload.
Choke... asphyxia
Snuff reality.
Scorch... kill the light
Incinerate celebrity.
Reaper... butchery
Karma amputee.
Bloodline... redefine
Death contagious deity.
Hooked into this deceiver
Need more and more
Into the endless fever
Need more and more

New consequence machine
You burn through all your gasoline.
Asylum overtime
Nevermind...
You've reached the end of the line.
Time... Choke the clock
Steal another day.
Die... Faithfully
Narcissistic fade away.
Twisted... Jump the rail
Shatter the crowd below.
Breaker... Chase the ghost
From latest high to alltime low.
Hooked into this deceiver
Need more and more
Into the endless fever
Need more and more
New consequence machine
Burn through all your gasoline.
Asylum overtime
Nevermind...
You've reached the end of the line.
Drop the hourglass of time
Spilling sand we will not find
As we gather here today
We bid farewell...
The slave becomes the master.
The slave becomes the master.
The slave becomes the master.
The slave becomes the master
Need more and more
Right now and everafter
Need more and more
New consequence machine
Burn through all your gasoline.
Asylum overtime
Nevermind...
Dead hourglass of time
Sand we will not ever find
We gather here today
Say goodbye
Cause you've reached the end of the line.
The end of the line.
The end of the line.




The end of the line.
You've reached the end of the line.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to VVE's song "End of the Line" are an introspective exploration of the themes of addiction, fame, and mortality. The opening lines, "Need... more and more/Tainted misery," can be interpreted as a reference to the addictive nature of fame and fortune, and the toll it can take on one's mental health. This is further emphasized in lines such as "Rein...legacy/Innocence corrode," which suggest that the pursuit of success can sometimes come at the cost of one's values and ethics. The verse "Choke...asphyxia/Snuff reality" speaks to the suffocating grip of addiction, and the sense of losing touch with the real world.


The chorus, with its repetition of the phrase "New consequence machine/Burn through all your gasoline/Asylum overtime/Nevermind.../You've reached the end of the line," is a commentary on the ruthless nature of the entertainment industry. The line "Nevermind.../You've reached the end of the line" can be read as a warning that, regardless of how high one may climb, the industry will ultimately discard them when they are no longer useful. The reference to a "consequence machine" further emphasizes the idea that the industry operates on a logic of cause-and-effect, with success and failure determined by a complex set of factors that are often beyond the individual's control.


Overall, "End of the Line" is a sobering reminder of the price that many pay in pursuit of fame and fortune. The song suggests that, for all its seductive appeal, success can be fleeting and ultimately hollow, leaving those who have chased it feeling lost and alone.
