Until the End Lyrics
But you're not to blame
Baby I see you for who you are
And a one time tramp,
And an old time movie star.
Of the pickiest kind,
But you always find the ones to keep.
You keep you're head wide open,
'cause ya don't only dream when you're asleep.
But I forget ... all my dreams.
That someday I'd relax a little,
And be more like you.
How silly that thought was,
Needed to stand in my own shoes.
I can see you cry,
Don't even try ... to pretend.
So many times,
Baby don't go back again.
But I remember everything..and every sting.
We'll both stay the same,
As we've always been,
Through the fat and thin,
Until the end,
Until the end.
This sounds like it could be about a significant other but I'm pretty sure it's about her mother or her father, although I'm thinking her mother. It's basically about sticking together through times of need and just confirming that although they are famous and their last names make them iconic, they are still people, still family, and will always be until the end.
yeah, i think it's about her mom too. it seems like it could be about her mom getting hurt by some man who she keeps going back to.
or maybe just a friend who keeps going back to the same person.
It's most def about her mum. The "one time tramp" is referring to the relationship she had with her father (who at the time was married to another). Also, I think the "like a child you forgot" is in reference to the fact that her famous dad didn't really claim her until she was famous and how she doesn't really forgive him.
Well, outside of Norah's real life context, I interpreted this song as a friend singing to a friend. A sort of "we've always been different but we're together until the end" sort of message. And of course, your friend is the one that tells you not to go back to the one who hurts you just because you love him.
