The title of my final song really just comes from two of my favourite words in the english language and a word for finale. It was originally meant to be the ending of Rebirth, but I felt that it worked better as its own, separate entity. The beginning has the “peeling” motion from the introduction, in reverse, to not only close out the album by coming full circle, but also to represent that earthly chaos initially introduced becoming unified into the “void” alluded to in the album name. The only words in the song are the overlapping whispers of, “The end is never the end is never the end…”, which essentially summarises the themes of the second half of the album.
lyrics
The end is never the end is never the end is...
