Lyrics
The descent of the sun
The setting of the sun symbolizes a conclusion.
Colors of yesterday.
Reflecting on the colors of the past.
I come undone.
Feeling disintegrated or falling apart.
I might have lost the way.
Possibly having lost direction or purpose.
Warm and soothing,
Recalling warm and comforting experiences.
Were the colors and the sounds.
The positive elements of the past.
But bleak and dying
The joyous aspects are fading or dying.
Is the merry-go-round.
A metaphor for the transient nature of happiness.
Things were not built to last
Acknowledging the impermanence of things.
For all that we’ve done is lost in the past.
Regret over lost opportunities or actions in the past.
This is the end, my friend, the end.
Declaring the end of a significant phase or relationship.
The ink has dried, there’s nothing more to say.
Indicating closure, with no more to be said or expressed.
The world has changed, ain’t no reason to stay.
Recognizing a changed world and a lack of reasons to continue.
This is the end.
Reiterating the finality of the situation.
No matter who was right, no matter who was wrong
Emphasizing that right or wrong doesn't matter in memories.
A book of memory is now where we belong.
Our memories are now part of a book of recollections.
No matter what you’ve done, no matter what we’ve said
Acceptance of mistakes made by everyone.
We all made mistakes, no hard feelings.
No lingering animosity or resentment.
This is the end, my friend, the end.
Repeating the proclamation of the end.
The ink has dried, there’s nothing more to say.
Reiteration of the finality, emphasizing the dried ink.
The world has changed, ain’t no reason to stay.
Reaffirmation of the changed world and lack of reasons to stay.
This is the end, my friend, the end.
Repeating the end, emphasizing the permanence of the situation.
The ink has dried, there’s nothing more to say.
Restating the conclusion with the dried ink as a metaphor.
The world has changed, ain’t no reason to stay.
Reaffirming the altered world and absence of reasons to remain.
SOLO
Instrumental solo, a musical interlude.
Our forgotten love
Recollection of a love that has been forgotten.
Shadows of yesterday
Shadows representing remnants of the past.
I can still hear you laugh.
Hearing the laughter of a past love like echoes.
Like echoes from the past
Comparing laughter to echoes, emphasizing the past.
In blurred memories
Mixed and unclear memories.
Fragments of truth and lies
Reflections on both truths and lies in memories.
Your stories carved in your body.
Stories etched in physical and spiritual aspects.
In your soul, in your eyes
The end reiterated in the core of the being.
This is the end, my friend, the end.
Repeating the closure, underlining the dried ink.
The ink has dried, there’s nothing more to say.
Emphasizing the finality, echoing the lack of words.
The world has changed, ain’t no reason to stay.
Acknowledging the changed world and lack of reasons to stay.
This is the end, my friend, the end.
Reiterating the end, emphasizing the dried ink.
The ink has dried, there’s nothing more to say.
Reaffirming the world's change and the absence of reasons to stay.
The world has changed, ain’t no reason to stay.
Final repetition of the closure.
This is the end. This is the end.
Concluding with a final declaration of the end.
