“The End” was released alongside “The Truth” as the first two singles from Battles.
Speaking about the lyrics, Anders says:
It’s about if you know you’re going to die, if you have a little ‘heads up’, so to speak. Like, okay, you’re going to die in five minutes, what are your thoughts? Are you hap...
[Verse 1]
I got a new kind of fear, something you don't wanna view
There's this path that I can see, it leads straight to misery
We can't undo what we have done, just face what's up ahead
We fight and we stumble, the fuse is lit, you better run now
[Pre-Chorus]
I can't tell you what to do, this crossroad is your own
But I know what we'll become, the outlaws on the run
[Chorus]
Do you think about the end?
The words you say with your last breath and the emptiness in space
Do you think about the end? That slow last breath of air
The words you say with your last breath and the emptiness in space
[Verse 2]
What if I say to you: "Let's leave this earth for a while"
A perspective from the hollow and the wheel we can't control
[Pre-Chorus]
I can't tell you what to do, this crossroad is your own
But I know what we'll become, we'll be outlaws on the run
[Chorus]
Do you think about the end?
The words you say with your last breath and the emptiness in space
Do you think about the end? That slow last breath of air
The words you say with your last breath and the emptiness in space
[Post-Chorus]
And the emptiness in space
And the emptiness in space
[Bridge]
When we were young, was this the dream we had?
We're celebrating nothing, we need to find our way back
When we were young, was this the dream we had?
We're celebrating nothing, we need to find our way back
When we were young, was this the dream we had?
We're celebrating nothing, we need to find our way back
[Pre-Chorus]
I can't tell you what to do, this crossroad is your own
But I know what we'll become, we'll be outlaws on the run
[Chorus]
Do you think about the end?
The words you say with your last breath and the emptiness in space
Do you think about the end? That slow last breath of air
The words you say with your last breath and the emptiness in space
The End was written by Niclas Engelin & Howard Benson & Anders Fridén & Björn Gelotte.
The End was produced by Mike Plotnikoff & Howard Benson.
Björn Gelotte said:
“It’s the first track we actually showed people as we gave it a video; it’s energetic, really guitar-heavy and I think in a good way it really summarises, not just this album, but In Flames generally.”
Anders Friden:
“It’s about if you know you’re going to die – well everyone...
