Maybe This Is The End

Song Meaning

Chris Renzema starts with time running out rather than time standing still — "all my time in hourglasses," an ending he "never saw... coming from the right or from the left." The uncertainty isn't resolved quickly; it repeats through the whole first half of the song.

His chorus doesn't deny the ending — it reframes what an ending actually is: "maybe this is the end, but the end is just another door." Renzema pairs that reframe with companionship rather than isolation: "if we're going hand-in-hand, well, you're everything I wanted and more," someone to walk through the door with rather than face it alone.

Paul describes an eternal dwelling waiting once this "earthly tent" is gone in 2 Corinthians 5:1, and 1 Corinthians 15:55 taunts death itself — "where is thy sting?" — as something that's already lost its power. Renzema's repeated "sure, maybe this is the end" sounds less like resignation by the final chorus and more like someone who's stopped being afraid of the word.

[Verse 1]

Here we are and here we go

All my time in hourglasses

Where I'm headed, I wanna know

Oh, before it passes

[Chorus]

I never saw it coming from the right or from the left

I never saw it coming, I never saw it

I never saw it coming from above or from below

I never saw it coming, but here we are and here we go

[Chorus]

Sure, maybe this is the end

But the end is just another door

If we're going hand-in-hand

Well, you're everything I wanted and more

Sure, maybe this is the end

Sure, maybe this is the end

[Verse 2]

Here we are and here we go

Dust to dust, ashes to ashes

Lightning strikes and I'm waiting for

Oh, the thunder crash

[Chorus]

I never saw it coming from the right or from the left

I never saw it coming, I never saw it

I never saw it coming from above or from below

I never saw it coming, but here we are and here we go

[Verse 3]

Here we go

You're taking my hand

And I'll follow the old road

Here we go

This is another choice

[Chorus]

Sure, maybe this is the end

Sure, maybe this is the end

But the end is just another door

If we're going hand-in-hand

Well, you're everything I wanted and more

Sure, maybe this is the end

Sure, maybe this is the end

[Chorus]

Sure, maybe this is the end

Sure, maybe this is the end
