Out of Billie Joe Armstrong's perspective of this song, "In The End," is about his mother's sexual life and the ugly, terrifying men she brought home with her. Billie has even said his mom would be viewed like a prostitute by these fakes and shitbags. The first line of the song, "All brawn and no brains," represents her naive love life. The rest of the song explains this, such as the chorus,

"I figured out what you're all about And I don't think I like what I see So I hope I won't be there in the end If you come around"

that Billie really thinks his mom has been fucked up since Billie's dad died, when he was ten with his other six siblings.
