| The Allman Brothers Band – End Of The Line Lyrics | 14 years ago |
|
This song is the anthem for all who have lived a fast-paced, dangerous lifestyle (I was never afraid of danger ...), and have faced the debilitating uncertainty of consequences for the actions and activities part of such a lifestyle. Facing dire consequences (... the gravity of trouble...), whether physical or human imposed, is such a overwhelming strain on a person's psyche. Usually, those consumed by the prospect of being subjected to such ominous consequences believe that their life, or life as they know it, will soon be over, forever; "The End of the Line." Sometimes, but not always, at the last posible moment, there is a reprieve. The reprieve may not bring absolute amnesty from consequences, but, at least, greatly minimizes the potential consequences to be endured. Upon reflection (oh, when I think about the old days...), after some time has elapsed and the dangerous lifestyle has been abandoned, a person having endured a hardship such as described above must consider why the consequences they faced during their time of trouble wasn't worse, knowing it could have been "The End of the Line." A very powerful song, which is appreciated best by those who have climbed mountains, ..."that have killed a thousand men...", and survived to think about it. |
