Phoebe Bridgers - I Know The End

Follow Phoebe Bridgers:

Lyrics:
Somewhere in Germany but I can't place it
Man, I hate this part of Texas
Close my eyes, fantasize
Three clicks and I'm home
When I get back I'll lay around
And I'll get up and lay back down
Romanticize the quiet life
There's no place like my room

But you gotta go
I know, I know, I know
Like a wave that crashed and melted on the shore
Not even the burnouts are out here anymore
And you had to go
I know, I know, I know

Out in the park we watch the sunset
Talking on a rusty swing set
After a while you went quiet and I got mean
Always pushing you away from me
But your comeback was gravity
And when I call you come home
A bird in your teeth

So I gotta go
I know, I know, I know
When the sirens sound you'll hide under the floor
But I'm not gonna go down with my hometown in a tornado
I'm gonna chase it
I know, I know, I know
I gotta go now
I know, I know, I know

Driving out into the sun
Let the ultraviolet cover me up
Went looking for a creation myth
Ended up with a pair of cracked lips
Windows down, scream along
To some America first rap country song
A slaughterhouse, an outlet mall
Slot machines, fear of God
Windows down, heater on
Big bolts of lightning hanging low
Over the coast, everyone's convinced
It's a government drone or alien spaceship
Either way, we're not alone
I'll find a new place to be from
A haunted house with a picket fence
To float around and ghost my friends
No, I'm not afraid to disappear
The billboard said the end is near
I turned around, there was nothing there
Yeah, I guess the end is here
Yeah, I guess the end is here
I guess the end is here
Yeah, I guess the end is here

This song makes me wanna cry and scream and throw shit around my room and lay here and stare at the room with this on repeat.

[mjk]

this song is like being wrapped in your favorite blanket after it comes out of the dryer

[SurtrsVolcanoIsland]

All of us were so stressed out the last 24 hours. The thought of YouTube terminating a channel with nearly a half a billion views. So glad whatever happened was resolved.

[nadinelaxamana]

This song feels like losing something you don’t want to lose :((

[shanyahwhite]

For my fellow introverts or self absorbed people you just know the warmth in your heart from this song.

[river]

No, for me, this song is the feeling of losing childhood and so desperately trying to get it back for hunting that same feeling. 'i know, I know.' is your most inner child reminding adult me that it's ok to feel what I'm feeling. Who knew my inner child would comfort adult me.

[paweloelo]

this song feels like a warm wind and the sight of the fireflies on a july evening

[jrkinmika]

when the "know it's for the better" character leaves the "all i wanted was you" character because the only way to save the world is to leave everyone behind

[kaylapagan]

The way this songs starts with an inside joke and ends with anguised screaming reminds me of a relationship. And I read someone else's comment of how this song sounds like losing something you don't want to lose. I interpret this as a relationship and you're watching it end.

[ghulehqueen]

This song makes me think of the end of the world.
Meteors hitting the earth, wars being fought, people dying left and right.
It also makes me think of the uncertainty that comes with life after death. One of my friends died and was then resuscitated a few minutes later and he told me there was nothing. “One minute I was bleeding out of the floor, and the next they were jolting my heart awake with the defibrillators. There was nothing. I didn’t exist.” In his words.
Since the day he told me that, I’ve been trying to make the most of my life while I still can.

[zoñani]

4:52 sounds so epic! If humanity were to cease bc of these recent happenings, I'd be playing that part max volume lol

[fayetopias]

i’m not exaggerating this is one of the best songs i’ve ever heard

[scaputa]

I cannot listen to this song without crying my eyes out and snotting all over myself. Goddamnit.

Lyrics :

Somewhere in Germany, but I can't place it
Man, I hate this part of Texas
Close my eyes, fantasize
Three clicks, and I'm home
When I get back I'll lay around
And I'll get up and lay back down
Romanticize a quiet life
There's no place like my room
But you had to go
I know, I know, I know
Like a wave that crashed and melted on the shore
Not even the burnouts are out here anymore
And you had to go
I know, I know, I know
Out in the park, we watch the sunset
Talking on a rusty swing set
After awhile you went quiet, and I got mean
I'm always pushing you away from me
But you come back with gravity
And when I call, you come home
A bird in your teeth
So I gotta go
I know, I know, I know
When the sirens sound, you'll hide under the floor
But I'm not gonna go down with my hometown in a tornado
I'm gonna chase it
I know, I know, I know
I gotta go now
I know, I know, I know
Driving out into the sun
Let the ultraviolet cover me up
Went looking for a creation myth
Ended up with a pair of cracked lips
Windows down, scream along
To some America first rap, country song
A slaughterhouse, an outlet mall
Slot machines, fear of God
Windows down, heater on
Big bolts of lightning hanging low
Over the coast, everyone's convinced

Either way, we're not alone

A haunted house with a picket fence
To float around and ghost my friends
No, I'm not afraid to disappear
The billboard said, "The end is near"
I turned around, there was nothing there
Yeah, I guess the end is here
The end is here
The end is here
The end is here
The end is here

This song is so gut wrenching but it low key feels right. It’s one of those songs you listen to when you feel sad but it kinda heals you a bit

[kaitiedelrey]

bro there is nothing like experiencing this song live. with the fire behind her it’s absolutely phenomenal.

[robjgolde]

I’ve only just recently started getting into Phoebe’s music (I had first heard of her a couple years ago just never got around to giving a listen), and while I haven’t heard a song of hers that I didn’t like, this is the song that I wish I could experience for the first time again. The lyrics, the imagery, her vocal delivery, the build up and crescendo, everything about this song is perfection.

[the_mysticalgrape]

This goes really hard on inauguration day.

[_LeThiNgocPhuong]

The scream at the end never fails to make me shiver...

[jayda]

i’m so glad this is finally getting the recognition it deserves.
