VERSE
The End Has No End
The Strokes
One by one, ticking time bombs won
It's not the secret of the government
That;s keeping you dumb
Oh, it's the other way around - wait...
What's that sound?
One by one, baby, here they come.
He wants it easy; he want it relaxed
Said I can do a lot of things, but I can't do that
Two steps forward, then three steps back
...Alright
"Won't you take a walk outside?"
-Oh no.
"Can't you find some other guy?"
-Oh no.
"1 9 6 9 what's that sound?"
-Oh no.
Keeping down the underground
Oh no...
The end has no end the end has no end
The end has no end the end has no end
He want it easy; he want it relaxed
Said I can do a lot of things, but I can't do that
Two steps forward, then three steps back
It won't be easy
"Won't you take a walk outside?"
-Oh no.
"Can't you find another guy?"
-Oh no.
"1 9 6 3 what's that sound?"
-Oh no.
Keeping down the underground
Oh no...
The end has no end the end has no end
The end has no end the end has no end
The end has no end the end has no end
The end has no end the end has no end...

About this Song
The song 'The End Has No End' by The Strokes explores themes of cyclicality and the inevitability of change. Through a repeated and almost hypnotic chorus, the band reflects on how life continues to move forward, regardless of individual moments that might feel final or decisive. It's a meditation on the endless progression of time and how despite endings, there are always new beginnings. Key poignant moments in the song include the exploration of nostalgia, existential contemplation, and the acceptance of life's perpetual motion.
