End Of An Era Lyrics
One last cue, from love true
To final adieu
Hearts will break for future's sake
But mine just won't take
Can't love if you don't
I can't try if you won't
Oh I know, please just let me go
My dear, 'cause I'd stay near
And lose my self here
Astoria, I'm warning ya
I'm coming for, coming for ya
It's do or die for you and I
And I'll never be taken alive
Here's everything that led me here
But our future still remains unclear
High time I face you, Astoria
So get up and face me, Astoria
Come and face the music, Astoria
(Face the music when it's dire)
It's about fucking time now, Astoria
I'm wasting away here, Astoria (Face the music when it's dire)
Goodbye, Astoria
I'm so afraid of trying something new
'Cause every start begins with saying goodbye to you
Our heart divides an unrequited view
But my heart is overdue
I feel so ashamed
Wish this was easy
I want you to know
This never was the man I hoped to be
by now
(How did we survive?)
We went through hell in Astoria
(How did we survive?)
We lost ourselves in Astoria
(How did we survive?)
I gave in to sickness
Can you find forgiveness
For a dear old friend
So Astoria can end
Release me, Astoria
It's time now, Astoria
I'm in over my head
(End of the line now, Astoria)
(Hope's fading into Astoria)
This is our goodbye
(Never say die
in Astoria)
This is our goodbye
(Never say die in)
Oh, Astoria, Astoria
(Never say die in Astoria)
Astoria, Astoria
(Never say die) In Astoria
If we shadows have offended
I hope your heart can still be mended
I hope you know that I don't blame you my dear friend
Always will
Love you still
But Astoria must end
About End of an Era
"End of an Era" finds Marianas Trench in a pop-minded frame, where a clear central idea and emotional directness are the real strengths. The title gives the song a sharp center of gravity, but the mood is what stays with the listener once the first impression passes. There is a welcome sense of proportion in the way the music presents itself: the hook has room to land, while the surrounding moments support it instead of competing for attention. The best moments are the ones that let the central idea return with a little more weight each time, instead of forcing a bigger gesture. For listeners returning to Marianas Trench, the song offers a compact example of how mood, pacing, and a recognizable point of view can meet in one place. That patience gives the track replay value: it feels immediate, yet it leaves enough space for small details and shifts in feeling to register later. The clarity of that approach is its own strength, because it lets the feeling come through without turning every moment into a dramatic demand. Even when it aims for immediacy, the track avoids feeling disposable because its atmosphere remains distinct after the final note. Its emotional center stays firmly in view throughout.
