The End Lyrics

Now come one, come all to this tragic affair
Wipe off that makeup
What's in is despair
So throw on the black dress
Mix in with the lot
You might wake up and notice you're someone you're not

If you look in the mirror and don't like what...

    Duh
    Guys...c'mon
    The entire CD is a story line
    #1 he's dying
    #2 he's dead (ish) (his pulse stops)
    Then he like remembers his life
    Then in the last one..(AKA this one)
    He is revived by the doctors
    You guys are so oblivious
    And have no appreciation for music
    Sorry if I'm to rough
    -GibsonGirl64
    ^Also my SN if you wanna talk

    I think MRO and shiorysm are right. This song represents the new mcr, they have grown as a band, lyrically and are writing more meaningful music, that's why it is track 1. also it's telling their fans that they shouldn't be like everyone else they need to grow as individuals. Shiorysm is right because I think the song has a double meaning, like it's introducing "the patient" (the character of the whole album).

    I think it's about being dead.

    And how you shouldn't be so pessimistic about it, atleast in the 1st part...

    The first part is like a voice being happy about death.

    The second part is like another voice fearing death.

    It is telling the audience to stop being something their not. Take off the makeup that doesn't show who they really are and mcr is changing to do the same thing. It is like the death of the old.

    This song is just to pull everybody into the patient's story. It's like the beginning, when the patient realized that he was going to die and tries to get out of there, and to call his loved one because he's alone

    'the end' has nothing to do with the rest of "the black parade". It is actually about mcr telling everyone to take of their make-up, mostly their old school fans who wore make-up like gerard did. This is symbolizing the end of the old mcr, and the beginning of the new mcr.
