A Day To Remember - End Of Me 

There was a brilliant comment here once which explained this song so well and it's too bad it's not in the top comments anymore. This song/video is about this boy who is doing the same thing over and over. Even if it's harmful for him he can't stop doing it. The aged man is the future boy who ends up all alone and dies in the end, because he wasn't able to change. Personally I find the idea brilliant because change can be so hard sometimes. We tend to do things over and over again just because we're afraid of change, even if we know we need to change. We're weird creatures sometimes :)

I honestly cant stop listening to this song. My best friend, Andrew committed suicide recently and this was his favorite song.I have always loved this song, and I showed him A Day To Remember, but now this song has a deeper emotional connection to me. Rest in Peac, Drew {6.24.15}

Never would I have imagined almost 10 years later in my mid 20s would these guys music still be getting me through tough times. Thank you fellas

“Don’t say that it’s not fair you’re not the person you wanna be...” hits hard.

People get so upset when bands let their sound evolve over time. It's still cool listening to the old stuff we all fell in love with, but that doesn't mean you can't still fall in love with the new stuff. We expect these bands to just to keep screaming about being angry, but they grow up just like us. The songs become more reflective and deeper, but we can still relate even though we aren't teens listening to them anymore. This has happened to almost every band I listened to back in high school, but I'm glad they are all still making music and living their dreams.

"End Of Me" I took some time away For understanding of what brought us here today Oh, you'll be the end of me I'm never happy like we were happy I'm never sad like we were sad Oh, you'll be the end of me You know me all too well And I can't suppress the memories You're gone and I can tell That I've lost more than you'll ever see Don't say that it's not fair That you're not the person you wanna be 'Cause Oh, you'll be the end of me I know I wasn't perfect, but I kept trying Till I forgot why I stayed Oh, you'll be the end of me Yeah we lost all meaning We lost the magic So good luck to you on your way Oh, you'll be the end of me You know me all too well And I can't suppress the memories You're gone and I can tell That I've lost more than you'll ever see Don't say that it's not fair That you're not the person you wanna be 'Cause oh, you'll be the end of me (you'll be the end of me) I get it, no, I get it Gave more than I took back, oh well (took back, oh well) I get it, no, I get it Can't help those who don't wanna be helped You know me all too well And I can't suppress the memories You're gone and I can tell That I've lost more than you'll ever see Don't say that it's not fair That you're not the person you wanna be 'Cause Oh, you'll be the end of me You'll be the end of me...

Destroys me everytime, This is one of the best ADTR songs IMO

I could listen to this song on repeat all day and never get sick of it.

I cannot stop listening to this song...

One of those "Take an aimless drive on a dark rainy night" kind of songs. I love it

I've said it once, and i'm gonna say it again: Let people interpret the song how they want. There's no right or wrong way to perceive the song. Everyone will look at it differently. That's the beauty in the world. Everyone has their own opinion. If you don't like someone elses view on the song, dont bash them for it, just move along and listen to the amazing music that ADTR has put here for us all to enjoy. Thanks for reading, if you did. Bye :)

Everyone has their own story about this song/video but for me.... I literally lived this music video. From 12-19 my mom drank like a fish to pass out after my Gma died. My grandpa,sister, Dad and aunt all left but forgot me in the process. I considered suicide hundreds of times, begged god every night to not let me wake up the next day. I have a few scars. Some from myself and some from her. I felt so alone and forgotten, so much so that as an adult I can’t be alone, I literally hate it. She attempted suicide. And that part of the video where the paramedics rush in really hits home because I remember that, I felt that. Some days it feels like I made it all up, and some days the wounds feel as fresh as they were then. It still really messes with me from time to time. Now I’m 27 married to a beautiful woman with 2 lovely children. Life couldn’t be much better. Like I said it seems so distant at times, and other days it feels like I’m still stuck. I survived. I pulled myself out of the deepest of depression, and honestly now a days no one even has an idea of what I went thru because I don’t show it. I’m happy and smiling all day. I’m positive constantly all because I refuse to be anywhere near the place I was then. This video really hits home and the song as well. It reminds of the bad days but also reminds me I survived because I was meant to do something meaningful in life.

The story behind this one is awesome! ADTR!

Why do these bastards want to make me cry.

Man this song is literally one of the best of all time for me. The feeling the realness the emotion the hurt. I love this song

Spotify literally had this as my number one listened to song for years now.. It is in the thousands and for good reason.. I probably watched this video on repeat for hours straight while blackout drunk crying my eyes out.. I am now 8 months sober and still enjoy this song just as much.. In a better place now though! ❤️

I sat there and played from 3:00 to 3:03 over and over again, remembering my friend that would smile to hide her pain, and deny all evidence that would show that she wasn't okay...

I agree with the person below, love does make you go blind. & i never knew or acknowledged how blind i went until i was sitting in a dark place and realized i gave up my career, myself, dignity, confidence to try to make something unfixable work. Sometimes it really is best to let it go. I think everyone thinks that "they're the one", that they can't bear a life without the other person. but things change man. They truly do. & it's not until you find someone else that the feelings grow just as strong. What i'm trying to say is, if you're ever in a position where you know it's not healthy for you, respect yourself enough to walk away. It'll hurt tremendously the first few days but one day you wake up and feel free, no resentment, no love, no bitterness, just free. That day was today for me. & AdTR helps alot in realizing and coping ❤

Maybe the stair scrubbing is just trying to show that he did the same things over and over in his life, things that didn't make him him happy. The love of his life left him because of him never changing his ways. The X's on the wall are days that he wasted in his life doing things that served no purpose. He knew from an early age that he was wasting his life but never/could never change. He finally *realized* that he had wasted his whole life, which is when he "meets" his younger self, and he committed suicide thinking there was no where to go but down..... as in down the negative stairwell that he had been working on his whole life? Just my thoughts.

Probably one of the deepest songs this band has ever written, which isn't a bad thing at all. Good job!

ADTR - End of Me (Lyrics) I took some time away For understanding of what brought us here today Oh, you'll be the end of me I'm never happy like we were happy I'm never sad like we were sad Oh, you'll be the end of me You know me all too well And I can't suppress the memories You're gone and I can tell That I've lost more than you'll ever see Don't say that it's not fair That you're not the person you wanna be Oh, you'll be the end of me I know I wasn't perfect, but I kept trying Till I forgot why I stayed Oh, you'll be the end of me Yeah we lost all meaning We lost the magic So good luck to you on your way Oh, you'll be the end of me Ya know me all too well And I can't suppress the memories You're gone and I can tell That I've lost more than you'll ever see Don't say that it's not fair That you're not the person you wanna be Oh, you'll be the end of me You'll be the end of me I get it, no, I get it Gave more than I took back, oh, well (so back away) I get it, no, I get it Can't help those who don't wanna be helped Ya know me all too well And I can't suppress the memories You're gonna and I can tell That I've lost more than you'll ever see Don't say that it's not fair That you're not the person you wanna be Oh, you'll be the end of me The end of me

One of their best songs to date. So refreshing to know they're from Ocala, FL - right down the road from where I live.

this video explains the way I feel and what I've been through almost perfectly, I don't cry anymore. but every time I see it I want to.. I'm in foster care because this is practically what happened. I'm 17, it's almost over. although I don't have anyone anymore left in my family to go to, and I'll be on my own, I live to make others happy, and I enjoy doing so. :)

Easily one of my personal favorite ADTR songs. I love the entire Common Courtesy album - A masterpiece.

My wife is divorcing me.. and immediately I go To ADTR. I’ve cried a lot of times today, including now.

this song has been on repeat for the last few days. fml. I hope shit get a better. been struggling for to damn long.

2019 and these guitar riffs and vocals still kill me!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🤘🏻

I found what director have said about this music video: "End Of Me” by A Day To Remember is a dark video about the two male members of a family dealing the loss of the female figure in their life. Director Shane Drake tells the story of a teenage son who has taken on the burden of responsibility for the family since his mother left. He spends most of his time alone and his only interaction with anyone is when he has to take the lit cigarette out of his sleeping father’s hand, taking a drag for himself before putting it out. He takes out his frustration of the walls, appearing to count the days since his mom left by drawing X marks all over his room. As the song intensifies, his emotions boil over, and he begins the react more violently to the situation by taking a baseball bat to his bed. All of this builds to an unexpected twist ending that’s super fun to see people try to figure out in the comments on RU-vid."

What scares me the most about growing up is that ill make mistakes and end up like this and look back when im 30 or 40 and realize I wasted my life. Im valedictorian of my senior class so far but what does it mean. It really doesnt mean much 5 to 10 years down the road. I have some much hope and dreams I just hope I find the right way to live it all before I die. Being 17 sucks.

2019, still crying 🤘🏼

Shit I still listen to this guys since 2008 they have been getting me through the tough times. It's weird, and don't laugh,, but I feel like I'm growing with the bands music like the rate of my emotional growth is parallel to the maturing of their sound and lyrics. I love this band. McKinnon is definitely and idol of mine.

I cried

Personally, I love this album more than their older stuff. I like hearing Jeremy's normal singing voice and I also like hearing them sing about things in their lives.

Majority people seem to be interpreting this song with there tragic heart break stories and exes, which is fine, but to me this is basically about wasting your life away and never stepping up to change.

You know sometimes a relationship goes from Have Faith In Me to End Of Me

This song is phenomenal. In my opinion, one of their best.

I fell in love with this song from the first time my ears were graced by its amazing sound.

I lost the name for this song and haven't heard it since 2014, I'm really happy I found this song again!

All us broken people, with our broken stories and a broken song to get by with. Feels like home. Even hell can get comfy once you've settled in.

Every time I hear this song, it gives me chills. This song is so bittersweet, I can feel the emotion flowing through it as it's being sung and played.

This song reminds me of when I was obsessed with somebody important I knew. He found out one little lie I told him, but it was a pretty substantial one due to the circumstances. I wanted to die when he basically made it clear that (unless I attend his events and pretend to be someone I'm not, which is worse,) I'll never see or talk to him ever again. He was a close friend of 3 years. So that, being found extremely close to death from a poor choice I made a couple days after that, 2 of my other friends dying in the same week as that, and realizing how much I've squandered my time and money since graduating high school years early made suicidal matters more intense. But each day, with every waking hour, I'm striving harder and harder to make my time important and meaningful because I'm too young to give up and die now. As much as I love this song, I refuse to let someone who, in retrospect, wasn't as good of a person as I made him out to be, be the end of me. I've let go of my obsession, now time to let go of the rest of this depression.

A lot of people see the video as the man's son but I think it's the same person, and the woman that left him was his wife. After he dies, he's wearing a white shirt just like the teen boy and they have the same scar, so he was looking back at himself from a long time ago and now.

listened to this back in 2014 and loved it, complettely forgot this song existed till now.. depression hit me so hard, finally realised the meaning behind this video and song, I could relate. Life sure is a pain.

I’ve heard this song so many times, I listened to it just now. It’s always made sense- today it hit me- I’ve wasted my life away-

Uma das melhores musicas que já escutei em toda minha vida... obrigado!

From all the shit I hear on the radios nowadays I come across this gem, it's honestly a breath of fresh air........

I hope they have songs like this on their new album

9 years ago and this song still hits hard today!!! ❤

"I know I wasn't perfect but I kept trying till I forgot why I stayed" Man this song reminds me of my ex girlfriend. When she went away for college, I always had this thought that she might cheat on me but I always kept telling myself, hey maybe she won't. But in the end she actually did. And I forgave her because I loved her so much that I really wanted a future with her. She would get drunk at her friend's house an a hour away and she would drunk call me to pick her up an hour away. I would because I felt bad. She didn't go back to college but instead she went to a community college. She did started changing for the better I guess. Fast forward a year later I started changing I wanted to be left alone everything she did started annoying me. We always fought about the stupidest things. I didn't want to brake up with her because I felt bad. But in the end she decided to go to the army and we broke up. But I guess what I'm trying to say is that love makes some people so blind that you're willing to forget people that don't deserve it. And sometimes you should end things sooner because sometimes things won't change. Sorry I just felt like telling my heartbreak story haha.

I never thought ADTR had it in them to make such an incredible video. Not a criticism of them, i've always liked these guys, but their videos have always been on the silly side. I'm glad they've made a video like this. One of the best music videos i've ever seen.

Been listening to ADTR since 1958! Hard to believe it’s been almost twenty years. I only get happier with their music. It keeps getting better.

So it's been six years since this song came out and I just found it. I've been a fan of them since 14 and I am 30. This literally is how I feel about my relationship with my father. He beat people, attempted to take life in general (others, himself, animals...) But he kept swearing he loved all of us. I let him go at 24. When this song came out. If I didn't he would have been the end of me. I love him so much. It hurts every day that I can't talk to him. But if I do I'll fall back into being under his dangerous thumb. I can't do it again.

Okay so you know how people say when you die you see your life flashing before your eyes? Maybe the older man was very depressed knowing he had wasted all his life time away which shows in the scene where he is on the couch and the younger boy walks in and smokes one of his cigarettes,That kid is his flashback of him as a kid and how that kid begun to do things he didn't like and habits he couldn't get his-self out looking at how he is now. Also because of how he never changed his ways and habits his wife decides to leave him, At the end the older man starts searching for things and the first place he looks is under his bed,searching for that bat which used to calm his depression down when he was younger (Which shows when the kid kinda goes crazy and starts smiling) and didn't find it at all. In the end he commits suicide because of how unhappy and in routine his life was,and the scar is a sign of how they are the same person and the last two seconds of the video shows them walking side by side like they are one. Just my conclusion.

this song literally saved my life

Honestly this was one of my lest favorite till I saw the video today.

This video is awesome. Perfect for the song. I think it just means that our biggest mistakes are the chances we don't take. God only promises us today, so live your life to the full with no regrets.

I come back to this song every now and then. It reminds me that I have to keep going, its the only way things will change. I left my home a year ago. I have an amazing family and friends down home, but the past kept bringing me down.

The ending reminds me of the intro to the song You Make Me Sick by Egypt Central, I can't be the only one who hears the similarities

4 years straight I listen to this song a couple of times a day. This is the song that has marked my entire life the most.

This song still hits me deep, like a blow in the chest! Music speaks what some of us cant reveal….

wow such an incredible video. It really made me think of this song in a different way. I know there are different opinions of what the music video is about, but i just wanted to give my opinion... I think it is about a son and father who are dealing with the mother leaving them. The Xs on the wall mark the number of days she has been gone. The son and the father are living in this mindset of grief and sadness and cannot find a way to escape which is symbolized through the house. The son is able to let out his anger and frustration and eventually allows himself to heal."I can't suppress the memories.." When he lets himself feel the emotions he has been holding onto he "moves on". His dying could be a metaphor for letting his depression die and starting to live again. When he leaves the house the father senses he is gone and looks for him. When he is doing so he remembers that he has to live for his son and lets his depression die too. They climb the stairs together to start the journey into their new life. The scars on the hands show they were both hurt in the same way. By feeling rejected by their mother and wife. And the son scrubbing the stairs symbolizes how healing is sometimes a hard and grueling process. Sometimes it can seem impossible, but you will get through it and you will see the light again.

Can't help those who don't wanna be helped. Love this song!

Hello from Russia! This song is so awesome !

This song literally has deep meanings. I have watched this video like so many times but damn , i still love this video and this song. One of their best works out there #adtrrocks!

I can't believe I have never heard this before.

i've known my best friend for 10 and a half years, i felt like i loved her a couple of months after i met her, but i never told her. we stayed friend then became best friends, she was always there for me, listened to every problem i had, helped me out on every situation i've been through, i was so madly inlove with her, i've decided to tell her, but some random guy came into her life and asked her to marry him, she said yes. i've never been more fucked up in my life like i am now and i regret every minute i spent thinking about wither tell her or not. now we dont talk at all and that's killing me. some people might call this gay, i call it sharing cause it helps.

2022, song still hits hard just like it did when it first came out.

my god, so much feeling to this song. i bet it was hard for the singer to reflect this memory in his life. I'm watching and almost cried for the guy.. damn dude, keep strong

I love the acoustic guitar at the beginning and how it sets the mood for the rest of the song. That guitar was the one thing that caught my attention.

I pray that anyone of whom stumbles across this video decides to take a stand to change their lives. Even if you are doing great, push it to the limit and ensure that you live this life to the fullest in whatever way you percieve that to be. Spread happiness and understanding, use logic and never give up!

You guys need to understand that relationships under 18 hardly ever work out. I have been through it.. please do not worry everything will eventually happen in time to come. :)

just brilliant!

MEU DEUS EU AMO MUITO ESSA MUSICA tomara que toque ela nos credito final da minha vida kkkk

Oh. My. God. This isn't a song, this is a masterpiece.

This video reminds me so much of my father. He developed epilepsy within the last 7 years partly due to alcoholism. I tried for years to get him to get help and change but he had a lot of demons he was fighting. He was doing better when his best friend Maria came to live with him but when she died he just spiraled. He loved music and used to play guitar a lot when I was small. He passed away about 3 weeks ago from a seizure. He was 50. RIP Dad. I'm going to pick the guitar back up and keep learning for you.

La busqué durante 3 años, nunca la pude encontrar, y hoy por fin la pude encontrar. Me sacó una lagrima.

This is beautiful. Rock can be beautiful in so many ways.

I've been waiting my whole life for a song like this.

lets appreciate how good of actor this kid is

this seriously sent shivers down my spine, one of my favourites on the album, great job guys!

This song always hits home. It hits me pretty hard every time I listen to it

This band will never get old! I love these guys they will probably always be my favorite band.

2019 and this song keeps getting better and better as time goes on.

This song speaks volumes. My girlfriend just broke up with me a couple nights ago over text message. No real reason was given. She has a rough background. Depression, anxiety, trust issues. She cheated on me even. I still stuck around because I love her more than anything else. She was always used, and beaten, and taken advantage of in her previous relationships. When her and I got together, I promised her I would never do anything to hurt her and I would protect her so she didn't have to know that pain anymore. I made her number one in my life. She always took priority. I think I'm just venting at this point, but this song makes me feel understood.

This song makes me cry every time I listen to it. I love ADTR and this song is definitely on top.

the guitar around 2:34 sounds like the beginning of You Make Me Sick by Egypt Central

This song really tugs on my heart strings, so personal and profound . One of your best adtr ! Xx

This song really hits way to close to home.

this is the song I've been looking for all my life

Took me a long time to listen to this song without breaking down crying. Its such a beautiful song

A song I can listen to on repeat.

OMG I LOVE THIS :D Do I'm already gone next :"D

I listen to this song every time I want to cry. Such a good song for these difficult moments..

2yrs later I can finally hear this without crying like a little bitch lmao.

A day to remember me surpreendeu! A coerência da letra com o vídeo ficou muito foda.

I always took this song as someone trying to help a partner, family member or friend that is struggling with mental health. It feels like a song that shows the other side of that, the person that's giving their whole heart and soul to this person to the point it's impacting their own wellbeing. In the video, I feel like this is shown through the scar being on the same hand, like "your pain is becoming my pain." The song feels like a reflection on how much give and take their relationship has, and how quickly things escalated from a close bond to a therapist. "You're gone and I can tell that I've lost more than you'll ever see" really suggests that they can't see this friend or partner as the person they were anymore, because they're so lost. They feel like if they keep trying, keep pushing for someone that isn't receptive, they'll lose themselves too. "I gave more than I took back, cant help those who don't wanna be helped" really empathises this as well. TLDR: feels like someone finally prioritising themselves after being the only form of comfort for someone who is depressed and refuses professional help.

at the age of 17, I listened to this song on repeat in the same depressed state as I am now at 27

ADTR FOREVER

This is just one of those bands that I can always listen to regardless of how I feel or what mood I'm in.
