At the End
Embracing Hope: Journey through Life's End in Josh Escalante's 'At the End'
Lyrics
I will see you when it ends
I anticipate meeting you again when everything concludes.
Is this how I meet my end?
Am I facing my demise in this manner?
I guess I am at the end
I believe I have reached the end.
I don't know what to do
I'm uncertain about the appropriate course of action.
Now that I have to choose
Now that a choice is required of me.
Should I keep on fighting
Should I persist in the struggle of this seemingly purposeless existence?
In this meaningless life?
Contemplating the meaning of life and its struggles.
What if I just give in?
What if I surrender to end this suffering?
So I can stop this pain
Considering giving up to alleviate the pain.
I am seeing a light
Noticing a metaphorical light or hope.
I want you next to me
Expressing a desire for your presence in challenging times.
Should I go?
Contemplating the decision to leave.
Should I go?
Repetition emphasizes the internal struggle and decision to depart.
Should I go?
-I should go
-I should go
-I am dying (I will think of you at the end)
Acknowledging the approach of death and reflecting on its inevitability.
I am dying (I will see you when it ends )
-I am dying (Is this how I meet my end?)
-I am dying (I guess I am at the end)
-I now know how you felt
Understanding the emotions of someone else in a similar situation.
I have no air to breath
Feeling suffocated or deprived of essential elements for survival.
No cries for any help
Experiencing isolation and an absence of support.
In a couple of years, I'll be out of thought
Anticipating a mental departure from active thought in the future.
I will fade away
Anticipating a fading away, possibly from life.
Memories of me will fade away
Expecting that memories associated with the individual will diminish.
I wish I could fix that
Expressing a desire to change or fix past actions but realizing it's impossible.
But it can't be changed
Acceptance that some things are irreversible.
My fight cheating death has come to an end
Concluding the struggle against death but not necessarily succumbing.
I am at the end
Acknowledging the arrival at the end of a personal journey.
I think of you at the end
Reflecting on thoughts of a significant other as the end approaches.
I am dying (I think of you at the end)
Reiterating the inevitability of death and its contemplation.
I am dying (I will see you when it ends )
-I am dying (Is this how I meet my end?)
-I am dying (I guess I am at the end)
-Come back into the world
Expressing a desire for a return to the world, a hopeful place.
This place can be hopeful
Encouraging resilience and the revival of hope in life.
Bounce back into the world (Stay alive, stay alive)
-This place still has hope (Stay alive)
-Fight back into the world (Stay alive, stay alive)
-We will make it hopeful (Stay alive)
-Stay alive
Emphasizing the importance of staying alive.
I guess I'll fight death
Committing to fighting against death despite challenges.
I will stay alive
Affirming the decision to remain alive.
I know I can fail
Acknowledging the possibility of failure but committing to try.
But I have to try
Expressing the determination to contribute to repairing the world.
To repair the world
Stating the necessity to stay alive for the greater good.
I must stay alive
Highlighting the importance of personal survival for positive impact.
To restore the hope
Connecting personal survival to the restoration of hope in the world.
That we've torn apart
Recognizing the collective responsibility to mend what has been broken.
I'll fight at the end
Committing to fight for a better outcome at the conclusion.
