This Is Not the End Lyrics
tell me
come on tell me what you can
even as you wait for death your wiser then i am
tell me what does it mean to exist
i am not a scientist i must believe theres more to this
and I can not accept
that everything is real
is only what our eyes can see
and our hands can feel
(chorus)
not even earth can hold us
not even life controls us
not even the ground can keep us down
the memories in my head
i just realized the time we spent
you always be close to me
my friend
this is not the end
I see
I can see your so afraid
we are like the silver herd on u even feel obscured
I wish I wish i had some words to give
but all i can think to say
is i will be with you everyday
(chorus)
not even earth can hold us
not even life controls us
not even the ground can keep us down
the memories in my head
i just realized the time we spent
you always be close to me
my friend
this is not the end
la la la la la
this is not the end
la la la l al la
this is not the end
I don't care
I don't care what you believe
as long as you are in my heart
your just as real as me
maybe even more
and one has touched so many lifes
and never never die
(chorus)
not even earth can hold us
not even life controls us
not even the ground can keep us down
the memories in my head
i just realized the time we spent
you always be close to me
my friend
this is not the end
come on tell me what you can
even as you wait for death your wiser then i am
tell me what does it mean to exist
i am not a scientist i must believe theres more to this
and I can not accept
that everything is real
is only what our eyes can see
and our hands can feel
not even earth can hold us
not even life controls us
not even the ground can keep us down
the memories in my head
i just realized the time we spent
you always be close to me
my friend
this is not the end
I can see your so afraid
we are like the silver herd on u even feel obscured
I wish I wish i had some words to give
but all i can think to say
is i will be with you everyday
not even earth can hold us
not even life controls us
not even the ground can keep us down
the memories in my head
i just realized the time we spent
you always be close to me
my friend
this is not the end
this is not the end

small error but thanx XD
probably the best song on the album but not as good as the worst songs onthe first album
i have no idea why it seems like trying to provide hope to a friend whois going to die. it is difficult especially when your friend believes in no possiblity of ever regaining what they will leave behind. i love the part where he says he does not care what she belives some things are true whether you belive in them or not
to me it sounds like he is trying to convince himself just as much as the dying friend that there is more to this.
this is a lovely song. i think without knowing the story behind it you can't appreciate the song as much..it was written for a friend of sam's who's in a coma. she's an atheist and they thought she might die.
even though this song is pretty depressing, it still rocks. i agree that he is trying to convince himself as well. i was wondering who this song was for.
I don't know about that friend in a coma, but for me this is about what happens to you after you die. The singer needs to believe in something after your death, but he's not pressing that opinion on the other (dying) one- "I don't care what you believe / as long as you are in my heart".
I think it's a very deep song, about death, religion, tolerance and friendship/love. Definitely one of my favorites from Bravery.
"we are like the silver herd on u even feel obscured"
That makes no sense.
It's: "You wear it like a silver hood, on you even fear looks good."
I think it is just him reassuring someone who is dying that the times they had together will make (her?) immortal in a sense and that you can never really die because you've touched so many people that (cheesy coming up ->) a piece of you will always be with them even after death, you may not be alive literally but your past actions will keep you alive in other peoples hearts.. But the person telling her all this isn't even sure if he can live with just memories.
This song is about believing in some sort of an afterlife because the notion of death is too hard to fathom.
