About This Track

'End' by The Cure is a 1992 track in which the speaker reaches a point where giving up and going on feel indistinguishable, both becoming a dead end. The lyrics return to the idea that wishes have come true yet offer no escape, wrapping that tired disillusionment in the sense of being stuck in the “same old song”. The refrain of syllables reinforces a looped, mentally worn cadence, turning resignation into something mechanical and inescapable.

"End" is a track by The Cure, released 21st April 1992. Full lyrics are available below. Dork has published 12 articles about The Cure.

Lyrics

End

[Verse 1]

I think I've reached that point

Where giving up and going on

Are both the same dead end to me

Are both the same old song

Do-do-do, do, do, do, do

Do-do-do, do, do, do, do

[Verse 2]

I think I've reached that point

Every wish has come true

Tired, disguised oblivion

Is everything I do

[Chorus]

Please stop loving me

Please stop loving me

I am none of these things

Please stop loving me

Please stop loving me

I am none of these things

I am none of these things

None of these things

[Post-Chorus]

Do-do-do, do, do, do, do

Do-do-do, do, do, do, do

[Verse 3]

I think I've reached that point

Where all the things you have to say

Hopes of something more from me

Just games to pass the time away

[Pre-Chorus]

Do-do-do, do, do, do, do

Do-do-do, do, do, do, do

[Chorus]

Please stop loving me

Please stop loving me

I am none of these things

Please stop loving me

Please stop loving me

I am none of these things

I am none of these things

I am none of these things

[Post-Chorus]

Do-do-do, do, do, do, do

Do-do-do, do, do, do, do

Do-do-do, do, do, do, do

Do-do-do, do, do, do, do

[Verse 4]

I think I've reached that point

Where every word that you write

Of every blood-dark sea

And every soul-black night

And every dream you dream me in

And every perfect free from sin

And burning eyes and hearts on fire

Just the same old song

[Chorus]

Please stop loving me

Please stop loving me

I am none of these things

Please stop loving me

Please stop loving me

I am none of these things

I am none of these things

Please stop loving me

Please stop loving me

I am none of these things

Please stop loving me

Please stop loving me

I am none of these things

I am none of these things

I am none of these things
