The End Is Where We Begin Lyrics

Alone in a crowd, a missing planet
You crash to the ground,
You never planned that, It just happened this way.
It happened this way.

The stars in your eyes,
If you believe in death you're certain to die.
If you believe in love you're always alive.
You're always alive.
You're always alive.

Here I am, waitin' for one last chance.
'Cuz this time we got, nothing left to lose.
And everything is ruined.
But the end is where we begin.

You're lost in the clouds.
I climbed a ladder but I can't talk you down.
And all that matters is tomorrow, today.
Tomorrow, today.
Tomorrow, today.

And the winds will lead us somewhere.
And the winds will lead us somewhere. Hey!

You're lost in the clouds.
I climbed a ladder but I can't talk you down.
And all that matters is tomorrow, today.
Tomorrow, today.
Tomorrow, today.

We got a long, long, long,
We got a long, long, long,
We got a long, long, long,
Long way to go.

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

I hate to tell you this but I think this song has a FAR more mythological intereptation than starting over after you hit rock bottom... Look into Starseeds and Oneism and the bill hicks quote

"All matter is merely energy condensed to a slow vibration, that we are all one consciousness experiencing itself subjectively, there is no such thing as death, life is only a dream, and we are the imagination of ourselves....."
