When The End Comes

Andrew Belle's song "When The End Comes" delves into the complexities of love and human connection, particularly in the face of life's inevitable end. The lyrics paint a picture of someone who is mentally and emotionally entangled, struggling with their own thoughts and feelings. The metaphor of being 'locked down inside of your head' and 'tangled up in your own web' suggests a state of inner turmoil and confusion. Despite these struggles, the song emphasizes that love has a transformative power, never leaving a heart unchanged.

The chorus, with its repeated line 'Someday I'll fall into you,' speaks to a deep longing for connection and unity. This sentiment is further underscored by the idea that the singer will find solace and completeness in this union when the end comes. The phrase 'I don't say, I hardly knew ya' suggests a profound recognition of the other person, implying that their bond is so strong that it transcends the need for verbal acknowledgment. This connection is portrayed as a sanctuary, a place where the singer will find peace and fulfillment.

The imagery of living 'out on an island' and 'drowning' despite having lungs full of air highlights the isolation and emotional suffocation that can accompany life's challenges. Yet, the song remains hopeful, focusing on the idea that love can be a guiding force, even in the darkest times. The lines 'The part I'm holding onto would be the part that I'm losing' and 'My heart is going onto you so be the heart that I'm choosing' reflect the vulnerability and commitment inherent in love. Ultimately, the song is a poignant exploration of love's enduring impact, even as we face the end of our journeys.
