{{Quote|“The first verse came to me mostly cooked, the part that I was going to start the song with. It’s funny, because Poppy wrote my words and I wrote hers.

It was this stacking project of adding things based on what each person did, which was really fun and unusual.”}} | |||
Lyrically, the track stemmed from the empowering line ''“The end of you is the start of life for me,”'' which Poppy brought to Lee and LaPlante. “It’s more of a universal message,” suggested Poppy. “I don’t want to classify it, but I know what it means to me. Watching the video of all of us together, it feels strong and powerful: ‘Imagine the things they can do when they’re united!’ It’s grounded in strength.”<ref name="nme" /> | |||

{{Quote|“For me, it’s about taking on the patriarchy. In order to make way for the new, we have to let some old ways die, and I don’t feel that should be as hard as it is.

It’s about challenging the norms and showing how strong we are when unified as women.”<ref name="nme" />}} | |||

Cut myself open, but I wasn’t broken<br> | |||

If I must go, the waves should drag me out<br> | |||
When every lie was kept so close<br> | |||

Crystalline castles<br> | |||
Turned to dust in the palm of your hand<br> | |||

General Information

End of You is a song by Amy Lee, Poppy and Courtney LaPlante that was released on September 4, 2025. It was produced by ex-Bring Me the Horizon member, Jordan Fish.
The trio first teased the collaboration on August 26, 2025, when they posted the same photo on their respective social media accounts featuring the three women standing in a line and facing slightly to the right. Dressed all in black, they each have their long, dark hair flowing freely down their backs.[1] Two days later, a teaser of the song was posted.[2]
The track originated from an idea between Poppy and producer Jordan Fish, with whom Amy Lee collaborated on Hand That Feeds. The two went to Lee's house and began working on the track.[3] Lee on how the song came about:
|
“The first verse came to me mostly cooked, the part that I was going to start the song with. It’s funny, because Poppy wrote my words and I wrote hers. Poppy’s drummer and guitarist did drums and bass, Jordan and Mike [Stringer, Spiritbox guitarist and LaPlante’s husband] ended up doing some guitar, and Courtney did her thing – that was the last layer that came in. It was this stacking project of adding things based on what each person did, which was really fun and unusual.” |

Lyrically, the track stemmed from the empowering line “The end of you is the start of life for me,” which Poppy brought to Lee and LaPlante. “It’s more of a universal message,” suggested Poppy. “I don’t want to classify it, but I know what it means to me.

Lyrics
I toil in silence
Don’t know where my mind is
Numb from the shock of it all
Cut myself open, but I wasn’t broken
Trying to fix what wasn’t wrong
Can you feel it taking over
I know I’m not alone
If I must go, the waves should drag me out
When every lie was kept so close
Burned by the game, for what I chose
Now you’re tossing and turning
I’m pulling the plug on the dream
'Cause the end of you is the start of life for me
How was I to know?
Crystalline castles
Turned to dust in the palm of your hand
But I’m wide awake this time
Burn it down to find
Nothing inside
Can you feel it taking over
I feel it creeping in
I’m back at the edge again
When every lie was kept so close
Burned by the game, for what I chose
Now you’re tossing and turning
I’m pulling the plug on the dream
'Cause the end of you is the start of life for me
The start of life for me
My innocence was blind now I can finally see
The start of life for me
You make me feel so
Wide awake for good this time
You are an echo of a dream as it fades from my mind
Wide awake for good this time
I can finally let go of the shame as I claim my new life
Sung from a fractured lullaby
Innocence draining from our eyes
All I wanted was stolen
I hate all that I believed
Oh
I’m wide awake for good this time
Oh
I’m wide awake for good this time
You’re tossing and turning
I’m pulling the plug on the dream
'Cause the end of you is the start of life for me
