End Of Me Lyrics

Cover art for End Of Me lyrics by Apocalyptica

I have experienced what the singer is going through. The person he's singing about is a narcissist and a drama queen who pulls him into her world. She suffocates him by taking away his very being, thus he walks in her shadow. She uses him only for the purpose of satisfying her insatiable need for attention. She has reflected her inner emptiness onto him to leave him feeling empty as well. This broken woman, for whom he once had sympathy, is driving him away; for she is trapped inside the wreckage of her deep misery and can offer him nothing in return for his love. She stands behind her mask of narcissism as her world falls all around her. She has no empathy for him or anybody else, thus she drives all who love her away. There is nothing the man can do to save her, for all he's tried to do has been wasted and he has no choice but to leave her...otherwise "it will be the end" for him.
