Before The End
Embracing Love Amidst Chaos: Before The End
Lyrics
Go spend your dollars, on bullets and time
Encouragement to spend resources on destructive elements like bullets and time.
Go waste your lateness on liquors and crimes
Encouragement to waste time on vices like alcohol and criminal activities.
You can do anything that comes to your mind
An assertion of freedom to do anything that comes to mind.
But I've come to tear my roots from the vine
Expresses a desire to break away from one's origins or past.
It was rolling in tall grass far across the Great Plains
Reflects on a past experience in an open, natural environment.
Now it's just a fence line like silence to break
Contrasts the previous experience with the present, symbolized by a fenced boundary.
We all just want to know love
Repetition emphasizing the universal desire for love before an impending end or conclusion.
We all just want to know love
-We all just want to know love
-We all just want to know love
-Before the end
Reference to the urgency or inevitability of an ending.
Don't watch the war it's burning along
Advises against witnessing the destruction caused by war.
Let's just pretend we could change with a song
Suggests a belief in the power of music or art to effect change.
Some stubborn men fight just to pass the night long
Some individuals engage in pointless conflict to pass the time.
And I could keep screaming 'til' the terror is gone
Expresses a willingness to persist in fighting until fear or terror dissipates.
I know I could never compare the pain in your heart
Acknowledges the inability to comprehend another's pain.
The cave is the cave is just armor that's gone too far
Suggests that protective barriers or behaviors may become excessive.
We all just want to know love

-Brought my daughter into the world
Shares the experience of bringing a child into the world without clear moral justification.
Don't know if I'd call it moral in fact
Expresses personal reflection on the act of bringing life into the world and a hope for understanding or forgiveness.
It was a purely selfish act
-But I hope in time we can all get past that.
-It was a setup for more than and all that you can imagine
Implies dealing with challenging situations beyond imagination and striving to protect against them.
But I do my best, do what I can to keep those monsters away
