Blue October - The End Lyrics

Bad ass

"I'll get down to business"
😨😨😨

amazing song

Used to listen to this all the time as a kid. Never knew what it meant.. Still a good song though!

major chills listening to this!!!!

We all have a dark side of the soul. This song resonates that. Doesn't mean he really would ever do what this song suggests. It is the dark fantasy side of the soul.

The best show live!!!

Sssaaaaadvage inside mad heat time song woooh

That voice has some passion pouring out

I looved the ending of this performance!
"Then i put the barrel in my mouth" *BLAAACK*

Its one thing to do a studio song, its another to perform it live almost exactly the same. They're good.

Absolutly FANTASTIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

OMG IKR?!?! The live version is so better than the album version

@Kevin Smith ...this is Master piece 👌👌👌

Every beautiful mind has a dark side

Anyone else get chills when he says “black” 🥶❤️

Anyone else get chills watching this? His voice is just... wow

Such a masterpiece. "All I saw was Black!!!"....

I get chills when I hear that part

Love u brother saw black

Chilling, unnerving, and absolutely brilliant! No one takes their listeners on a journey thru all the levels, emotions, and "feels" like Justin - Purest, deepest, most incredibly open storyteller on the planet.

Jesus christ i didnt know bands could sound this good live

Josh if you have never seen them live it’s an absolute MUST! The best live band performing today hands down!

NpProNeck 100% agree. They are absolutely amazing. I get to see them again in Fall 2019. Counting down the days. Love this band.

Can't wait.

Christ, he nails those vox during this performance. Absolutely chill inducing.

This is one of the most powerful songs ever made about cheaters.

is it though? seems to me like its about a divorcee being unable to cope with his ex-wifes new life

+PRUSER27 it's both. It's a divorce that only happened because of the affair she was having and since they're from Texas by Texas law after a divorce a woman has benefit of the doubt and usually gets the house. So basically the song is about a man who lost his life and love because she cheated and then divorced him and he had to leave because she got the house and he finally snaps.

Ok now that enough you guys come to Calgary I so need to see you guys love, love, love!

Justin, come to Vladivostok
Ruslan. We are waiting for 23.08.2018.
Call.

This my favorite version

We've all felt like this.

Ive heard people say he messed up the scenario when he wrote the lyrics, but they are not listening. He actually says "Think about YOUR answer while I"M face down on the bed" ...meaning he got on the bed and he's over her on top of her looking down. Then he says,(after he shoots her... "I gently stroke her arm as she lies lifeless on her back."
I saw some person on here complain that he said she was face down so why is she on her back. LISTEN BETTER PAY ATTENTION

3/6 vet's will be in the Florida crowd. This is my personal Thailand song.

I disagree. Here are the relevant lyrics, as the majority of lyrics sites have them posted:

"So I'll get down to business
I choose you first, there's a gun, it's at your head
So laugh at me one more time but keep your face inside the bed"
......
"Now think about your answer, laying face down on the bed
I cocked the pistol pulled the trigger and all I saw was red
I gently stroke her arm as she lies lifeless on her back
Then placed the barrel in my mouth, all I saw was black"

I'm pretty sure the narrator isn't on the bed, hovering over his wife. If he was, there would surely be a better way to describe it. "Face down on the bed" doesn't just mean you're facing the bed. It means your face is pressed against the bed. You can't shoot someone from that position. I assume he's standing at the bedside. So either the force of the gunshot rolled her over, or (more likely) he rolled her over himself to take one last look at her after he shot her. Or it could be that the lyrics just don't make complete sense. That wouldn't be unusual for a song. It happens a lot.

By the way, I think the "LISTEN BETTER PAY ATTENTION" was unnecessarily confrontational. Was it not enough to express your thoughts without also yelling at people about how wrong they supposedly were? Especially when it turns out that you were probably the wrong one. ;)

Actually he says “think about your answer while LAYING face down in the bed”

I’ll ask him when I go back stage this year!

Fucking awesome story

One of my favorite songs. I little bit E. A. Poe

bloody hell they are tight live, that was flawless!

See them live you will be blown away!

Super tight!!!! Killer!!!

This song really opens my eyes to humanity

I've seen these live so many times, but there is so much fucking emotion in this video! Fuck yes!

live sounds so good ..... this song was made for fun (from an interview I watched ) this song is just wow. it's like a man screaming he's feeling and no longer cares . maybe this is what women do to men.... we destroy them till they break....

Yepppppppers

No, and I wish you wouldn't think that way. The kind of women who torment men normally select passive guys who will put up with a lot of crap and never lash out. I dated a guy like Justin when I was 16-17 (he was 22-23). He was just batshit crazy. He had a vivid imagination and a very insecure ego that made him paranoid, so he always thought I was cheating on him. He would lose his temper over slights that were too small for anyone else to even notice. He was very violent towards me, so I ended up breaking up with him. A few months after our breakup, he stabbed his roommate to death. So you see, it wasn't me who made him violent, even though I was his favorite target for a couple of years. In any normal story, I would have been the one killed, but somehow I got away from him and he murdered someone else instead of me. Yay for me, right? ;)

Please try to avoid blaming the victim in abusive relationships. It's almost never their fault. The lead singer of Blue October is schizophrenic and probably bipolar too. He has serious mental problems. Most men would never write something this crazy. Someone commented that they'd heard that the band wrote this song as a joke. Yeah, right. What else can you say after you've written and recorded this song? That you were fantasizing about killing your wife and her new lover? No, you can't say that or you'll end up locked away. So you say it was a joke. This song is no joke. It's dead serious. I'm guessing his ex is terrified of him. I hope he's made things right with her.

It wasn’t for fun, he actually was gonna kill her, he just didn’t. Listen to The Flight
