There Is An End Lyrics
Words disappear
Words once so clear
Only echoes passing through the night
The lines on my face
Your fingers once traced
Fading reflection of what was
Thoughts rearrange
Familiar now strange
All my schemes drifting on the wind
Spring brings the rain
With winter comes pain
Every season has an end
I tried to see through the disguise
But the clouds were there
Blocking out the sun
Thoughts rearrange
Familiar now strange
All my schemes drifting on the wind
Spring brings the rain
With winter comes pain
Every season has an end
There's an end
There's an end
There's an end
There's an end
There's an end
Words once so clear
Only echoes passing through the night
Your fingers once traced
Fading reflection of what was
Familiar now strange
All my schemes drifting on the wind
With winter comes pain
Every season has an end
But the clouds were there
Blocking out the sun
Familiar now strange
All my schemes drifting on the wind
With winter comes pain
Every season has an end
There's an end
There's an end
There's an end
There's an end

From comments I made for the film "Broken Flowers" that featured this song...
The music contributes greatly to the overall theme that people are often damaged by living and loving. The opening song, "There is an End" by the Greenhornes with Holly Golightly, is relevant to the central theme. The verse, "The lines on my face, your fingers once traced, fading reflection of what was" show the impact of what Murray has done to all the women in his life.
I love this song. I reckon it's about the end of a relationship. But I don't see how:
I try to see through the disguise, But the clouds were there, Blocking out the sun (the sun).
comes into it. Thoughts? Is it that she's trying to see the good stuff only she can't because she's still sad over the end of the relationship - the bad part?
I think it's the opposite. More than the end of a relationship, I see it like the end of the illusion that relationship had. That strophe could be about someone who tried to see the real person who is his/her lover, but the idealization (the clouds) blocks it... In fact, I could tell every verse has melancholy, sadness and realization of some kind of truth, but there's hope and the idea that "nothing lasts forever" =)
