The End of All Things Lyrics
Whether near or far
I am always yours
Any change in time
We are young again
[Chorus]
Lay us down
We're in love
Lay us down
We're in love
[Verse 2]
In these coming years
Many things will change
But the way I feel
Will remain the same
[Chorus]
Lay us down
We're in love
Lay us down
We're in love
About
“The End Of All Things” is an ode to Brendon’s wife, Sarah. Brendon reportedly wrote the song in lieu of wedding vows.
In a track-by-track interview for the album with Rock Sound, Brendon said he wrote the song to express
how in love and infatuated [he] was with her and [his] respect for [their] relationship and her.
Brendon’s inspiration for the dark, haunting style of the track is derived from one of his favorite songs “Lovesong” by The Cure.
Brendon chose “The End Of All Things” as the final track because he “wanted to end [the album]… on a somber note” as opposed to concluding in a bombastic manner.
The happy couple

When asked by American Songwriter what a song on the record that he’s very proud of is, Urie replied with:
The last song for me was something I’d never done before on a record, which was a very, very slow ballad that I wrote about my wife. And it was very honest, very confessional. It was just a new way of going about it. I literally played there chords looped over and over and I just sang this thing and it was very bare bones which, for me, is kind of rare because I usually produce a beat and then I’ll write something else over it.
Excluding the bonus tracks, this is the last song on the album.
When asked by The Edge about his favorite song on Too Weird To Live, Too Rare To Die!, Urie stated:
It’s hard to pick out of all of the new songs. It’s like picking your favourite kid! Surprisingly for a lot of people my favourite one is the last on the record, for a lot of reasons. Firstly, it’s one of the more ‘different’ songs, way more different than anything that we’ve done, it’s just three piano chords – very sad and sombre with this very beautiful message behind it. ‘The End Of All Things’; it’s a play on the end of the record, the end of a lot of things dynamically.
