Apocalyptica – End Of Me

  Lyric Correction:Hey all, don't post much, but love this song and just wanted say that the line is actually "I can't always erase your memory" instead of "I can't wait to erase your memory." Slight difference, kind of hard to tell but if you watch Gavin's lips in the music video it becomes quite clear. I think it's more poetic and it rolls off the tongue better to boot. Much love, y'all!

  My Interpretation:Perfectly interpreted "rocknow"....i agree completely, there's a U2 line that goes "A victim or a vampire, depends on who is around" which summarises the song and your intepretation.
  
  I have also experienced loving and giving to a person that was only capable of taking and populating her narcisstic world without giving back. And you always believe that you just need to give a little more for her to turn the corner, but her world never fills, it's a bottomless pit that eventually swallows all those around her. The singer is almost there, but is about break free "I'm not the one to save you...", which is the most difficult thing for a man to say to a woman...but really understandable once you've gone thru this...

  Song Meaning:I have experienced what the singer is going through. The person he's singing about is a narcissist and a drama queen who pulls him into her world. She suffocates him by taking away his very being, thus he walks in her shadow. She uses him only for the purpose of satisfying her insatiable need for attention. She has reflected her inner emptiness onto him to leave him feeling empty as well. This broken woman, for whom he once had sympathy, is driving him away; for she is trapped inside the wreckage of her deep misery and can offer him nothing in return for his love. She stands behind her mask of narcissism as her world falls all around her. She has no empathy for him or anybody else, thus she drives all who love her away. There is nothing the man can do to save her, for all he's tried to do has been wasted and he has no choice but to leave her...otherwise "it will be the end" for him.

  General Comment:I guess he just feels like he is getting nowhere in the relationship. Great song.

  General Comment:Looks like a girl who plays with his heart and mind.
  Then, "Suffocated" because of this, he decides to leave her...
  
  ...or at least that what he dreams (I watched a part of Apocalyptica's video where Eicca Toppinen throws a girl directly on the floor, like a dream of revenge).
  
  The video of this song will be officially released on Apocalyptica.com next Friday, July the 2nd.

  General Comment:I can't believe nobody has commented yet...I love this song!!
  
  Also, as far as lyrics are concerned, I believe it's "I can't wait to erase your memory" instead of "I dont want to waste your memory"

    Also...for an interpretation on the lyrics, my impression is that it's about him getting out of a past relationship. Sounds like the person was pretty much no good and basically didn't care or kind of played him. Now he wants nothing to do with them and wants to "erase their memory" as he has to live with what they did to him.
