			Amy's description of the song in a track-by-track post on the band's Facebook:

			{{quote\|“We only get one life, which is so fleeting and fragile. The song is about getting this limited amount of time, and love is so important, these feelings we experience. You can’t live your life afraid to be hurt. You’re going to get your heart broken, but it’s a part of life we all must experience. You have to feel, even if it’s hard, but it’s worth it. That’s the whole point of life.”<ref name=fb />}}

			In a ''Loudwire'' interview in 2018, Amy discussed how the song was very electronic in its demo form and why she re-recorded it on ''Synthesis'':

			{{quote\|There's a song called "The End of the Dream" that I love and it's on our third album. It's one of those songs that when it was being written it was from a place of programs and loops and vocals and synth stuff, and then we turned it into a full on rock song. The tempo changed and and the whole feeling changed. The verse was all groovy and it was pretty cool, but it was just so different from where it started. That can actually be an awesome thing. I love the original version, but there's also something to me that I remember the spookiness of the first verse, the feeling and the gravity of those lyrics. I love those lyrics and miss the way that it felt when it was very sparse. You could hear them and feel them and perform it in a way that was not tied to a beat. It was just full emotion.

			So in this version of it, we stripped it back to that and made it way better than it was in the demo from the early days. We did it though with that in mind that this part that I loved so much ... it was something where I could just go to a place and I'm not tied to a beat or on the click track, nothing. There's just a drone and singing and it feels so good to just start the song off that way and just go into that place and take my time with it and let the song unravel into something bigger.

			Actually, that's the most difficult song to sing every night. It's the highest one. We never performed it back in the day during our self-titled album which that song was on. That was one of the songs that we all loved, but we never played it live because I just felt like I couldn't do it. I'm not going to be able to hit that high, long note over and over again in the middle of the set and have nothing left to do the rest of the show. So we didn't do it. But this time I'm like, "This is all about challenges and stepping up, so I think maybe with the way that it's different and the sparsity of it, I'm going to try to do this."<ref name=orchestraltour />}}

''End of the Dream'' was confirmed to be reworked and included on the orchestral album, ''[[Synthesis]]'', when the track list was revealed through the album's pre-order on September 15, 2017. Many fans speculated whether it would be included since Amy said it's almost impossible to sing live.<ref name=songfacts /> However, it was performed for the first time on October 14, 2017 at the Pearl Concert Theater in Las Vegas, Nevada. This makes ''[[Evanescence (album)\|Evanescence]]'' the only album played live in full to date. Watch a performance of the song [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hfTdprEIcxA here].

	{{quote\|This was one of my first big, clear visions for the record – that intro. The feeling I had when I wrote the lyrics, it felt like this in my heart. So fragile and raw. When we recorded our self-titled album version of the song, we made all kinds of cool production and arrangement decisions with the band, and with our producer. And that song ended up with these pretty slamming, full on verses. The feeling totally changed. I wanted to take it back to its home in my head this time.<ref name=stack />}}		{{quote\|This was one of my first big, clear visions for the record – that intro.

	{{quote\|There's a song called "The End of the Dream" that I love and it's on our third album. It's one of those songs that when it was being written it was from a place of programs and loops and vocals and synth stuff, and then we turned it into a full on rock song. The tempo changed ~~and~~ and the whole feeling changed. The verse was all groovy and it was pretty cool, but it was just so different from where it started. That can actually be an awesome thing. I love the original version, but there's also something to me that I remember the spookiness of the first verse, the feeling and the gravity of those lyrics. I love those lyrics and miss the way that it felt when it was very sparse. You could hear them and feel them and perform it in a way that was not tied to a beat. It was just full emotion.		{{quote\|There's a song called "The End of the Dream" that I love and it's on our third album.

	So in this version of it, we stripped it back to that and made it way better than it was in the demo from the early days. We did it though with that in mind that this part that I loved so much ... it was something where I could just go to a place and I'm not tied to a beat or on the click track, nothing. There's just a drone and singing and it feels so good to just start the song off that way and just go into that place and take my time with it and let the song unravel into something bigger.
