End of the Line Lyrics
The nightmare lies in the mourning
when the birds are bleeding
and you hope the day will come
but you’re never gonna live this down
wish it away with the blame
you could just stop breathing now
you didn’t want it enough
and you tap and you cut
and you start with the heavy breathing
you’re parallel to the dark
but they’re still not leaving
but you try and talk
you’ll do anything but you’re never gonna keep it down
don’t leave me now, don’t leave me now
chorus:
it didn’t have to be this way
you know it didn’t have to be
but it’s the end of the line
so goodbye
can you hear me
can you see me
well it’s the end of the line
so goodbye
now you talk to yourself
and you wonder why nothing ever changes
how you’re gonna fall so far so fast
who you gonna blame this on
i don’t care anymore in the morning
when the birds start bleeding now
and it’s all the same
i was faced to the wall
with the mirror crashing down
and you stood so tall
but you fall and you’re never gonna get back up
you didn’t want it enough
am i central now, am i central now i was central how
chorus:
it didn’t have to be this way
you know it didn’t have to be
but it’s the end of the line
so goodbye
can you hear me
can you see me
well it’s the end of the line
so goodbye
no one loves you
up above you
no one hears you
no one sees you
no one loves you
up above you
no one hears you
no one sees you
chorus:
it didn’t have to be this way
you know it didn’t have to be
but it’s the end of the line
so goodbye
can you hear me
can you see me
well it’s the end of the line
so goodbye
when the birds are bleeding
and you hope the day will come
but you’re never gonna live this down
you could just stop breathing now
you didn’t want it enough
and you tap and you cut
and you start with the heavy breathing
you’re parallel to the dark
but they’re still not leaving
but you try and talk
you’ll do anything but you’re never gonna keep it down
don’t leave me now, don’t leave me now
it didn’t have to be this way
you know it didn’t have to be
but it’s the end of the line
so goodbye
can you see me
well it’s the end of the line
so goodbye
and you wonder why nothing ever changes
how you’re gonna fall so far so fast
who you gonna blame this on
i don’t care anymore in the morning
when the birds start bleeding now
and it’s all the same
with the mirror crashing down
and you stood so tall
but you fall and you’re never gonna get back up
you didn’t want it enough
am i central now, am i central now i was central how
it didn’t have to be this way
you know it didn’t have to be
but it’s the end of the line
so goodbye
can you see me
well it’s the end of the line
so goodbye
up above you
no one hears you
no one sees you
up above you
no one hears you
no one sees you
it didn’t have to be this way
you know it didn’t have to be
but it’s the end of the line
so goodbye
can you see me
well it’s the end of the line
so goodbye

You should pass us the other lyrics too.

Wait, it doesn't seem legit.

Well you see, the song is about those nights when you're in a fetal position underneath a blanket and crying yourself to sleep while it's raining outside and you have finals the next day. You didn't even study cause you were too busy crying. And that goldfish you got at the fair? yeah the one where you got stood up by your date and had to eat 3 cotton candies by yourself? it died because it committed suicide. It was so miserable just being in the same room as you. It actually drowned itself. It made it possible. It went through extreme measures just to get away from you. It went out of its way just to escape being within 100 feet from you. But you see, the fish is only a metaphor. It's a metaphor for every single person that's ever met you. And that's another metaphor for every single living thing on this planet which is an extended metaphor for all existing life in the universe except for your teacher because he needs to give you your final which is tomorrow. But after you take that final, he'll hate you just like everyone else does. Cause you fucking failed. And guess what? You forgot to write down that fucking name of yours. And your name? Garbage. Don't forget on your way home when you got pulled over by the police and got an expensive ass ticket that will take the rest of your life to pay off only to realize you don't even own a car and the car you've been driving has been reported stolen and you now need to serve time in jail. Not only that but when you use your only call in jail to call your parents, they tell you to deal with it and there's no way that they'll bail you out because you're adopted and they never actually loved you. Then they proceed to tell the prison warden to keep you there for as long as possible because the world needs one less person like you. Then the person you love fucks your best friend. Except it was never your friend to begin with, just someone you followed around. Then your parents bribe and try to convince the prison warden to sentence you to life in prison or maybe even sentence you to death. And your so-called "friend"? they used you all along just to see your embarrassed and hurt expression when you found out they fucked the person you love. & that my friend, is the full and 100% accurate meaning of the song.
That was easily the most profound thing I’ve ever read in this site. Your comment transcends all rational interpretations of the song and can only be rivaled by the band itself. Never before have I read something so accurate and profound that I’m actually tearing up. Your description of the “fish” and it’s metaphorical nature left me breathless. And who knew that these lyrics were directly manifested within the justice system? I haven’t been touched this intimately from mere words since the inauguration of our very president. No words can describe this momentous feeling I have within my heart. I...

No words can describe this momentous feeling I have within my heart. I want to thank you--please, message me your number and address so I can personally relish in your magnificence.
Anyone going to comment the meaning of the song? considering this is songmeanings.com???
