"The End" is about losing a friend, a lover, or someone you thought was on your side. The guitar solo in this one says it all. Like memories, the end of these relationships fades after time. Sometimes you just have to end it, there is no “we’ll be friends” or “see you later.” You have to end it for yourself.
lyrics
There are things you never do
To someone, even once, when you do
Everything falls down
And this time, I won’t be around
Chorus:
This is the end!
Don’t tell me you’ll be my friend
This is the end!
This to you is what I send
What was yours, was never mine
And in time, you will find
That it all, was a lie
The memory will fade, and die
Whooa oooooo oh, this is the end
You still don’t seem to understand
You can’t try, even once, when you do
I hate to be around
For this time, you won’t beat me down
