It's Beautiful After The End
We the Kings Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Side by side we'll watch the end our hands are held together
I'll take this one step closer if you will follow me
Yeah we will see tomorrow yeah we will see tomorrow
Our silhouettes will follow closer ready to ascend
Yeah we could be ripped apart from all of this girl from all of this
To prove that we're so beautiful
And that we have a silver screen image of ourselves
This picture shows that we're still here
Our hands are held together we're in this for the long road ahead
It's you and me and no one else dear
This world escapes through the parting of your selfish words
Never ever wanted to remember never ever wanted to remember
This or you I held myself accountable for
Never ever wanted to remember never ever wanted to remember
This or you we're locking all the windows to the cure (they won't give up)
And tying our hands behind our backs (cutting off our)
We're cutting off our air
Let me breathe to open the doors to see your eyes
Something like this I've always wanted to remember
The song "It's Beautiful After The End" by We the Kings is a ballad about facing the end of the world with someone you love. The opening lines establish a sense of impending doom as the singer questions where he and his partner will be when the sun dies out. The chorus then emphasizes the significance of their bond, and their willingness to face the end together.
In the second verse, the lyrics suggest that the pair may be separated despite their efforts to stay together, highlighting the fragility of relationships. The lines "our last effort was always knocked off course to prove that we're so beautiful" imply that the couple's attempts to stay together may have been hindered by ego and societal standards. The lyrics suggest that their love has survived through multiple obstacles, and that it has only grown stronger as a result.
The bridge section contrasts with the rest of the song, focusing instead on the singer's own introspection. The lyrics suggest that the singer may have caused harm to their partner in the past, and that they regret their behavior. As the song comes to a close, the focus shifts back to the present, as the singer begs their partner to "open the doors to see your eyes", expressing their desire to remember this moment forever.
Overall, "It's Beautiful After The End" is a poignant commentary on the importance of human connection in the face of catastrophe, with lyrics that portray love as a powerful force that can outlast the end of the world.
Line by Line Meaning
The sun dies out tomorrow, tell me where will you be
Asking where one's place will be once everything they know and rely on disappears
Side by side we'll watch the end our hands are held together
Facing the end of everything together, with support from each other
I'll take this one step closer if you will follow me
Encouraging the other person to take a risk together, with one person taking the lead
Yeah we will see tomorrow yeah we will see tomorrow
Optimism that there will be a tomorrow to see, despite uncertainty
Our silhouettes will follow closer ready to ascend
Preparing to move on and rise above the end of the world
Yeah we could be ripped apart from all of this girl from all of this
Acknowledging that they could be separated or destroyed by the apocalypse
And our last effort was always knocked off course
Their past attempts to succeed were continuously met with obstacles
To prove that we're so beautiful
These obstacles were overcome to show that they are strong and beautiful
And that we have a silver screen image of ourselves
A glamorous representation of who they are
This picture shows that we're still here
Despite the challenges and hardships, they have persevered and survived
Our hands are held together we're in this for the long road ahead
They are committed to each other and facing the future together
It's you and me and no one else dear
They are the only ones that matter in this journey
This world escapes through the parting of your selfish words
The harsh reality of the world is revealed through selfish actions and words
Never ever wanted to remember never ever wanted to remember
Trying to forget the harsh truth of the world and not confront it
This or you I held myself accountable for
Taking responsibility for the consequences of their actions or the other person's
We're cutting off our air
Their actions are suffocating and restricting them
Let me breathe to open the doors to see your eyes
Asking for forgiveness and clarity in order to move forward
Something like this I've always wanted to remember
At the end of it all, the hope is that they will remember the support and love they had for each other
