"The Finish Line" karya Snow Patrol adalah lagu yang menggugah pemikiran yang menyelidiki tema harapan dan kekecewaan. Liriknya yang puitis dan mendalam menggambarkan perjalanan emosional seseorang yang bergulat dengan perasaan terasing dan kerinduan akan makna dalam hidup. Bait pembuka membawa pendengar pada suasana yang suram dan terpencil, di mana individu tersebut merasa terisolasi dan kehilangan arah. Namun, seiring berkembangnya lagu, muncul secercah harapan di tengah kegelapan, menyarankan bahwa akhir dari perjalanan ini mungkin menandai awal baru yang menjanjikan.
The Finish Line Lyrics
Snow Patrol
The earth is warm next to my ear
Insect noise is all that I hear
A magic trick makes the world disappear
The skies are dark, they're dark but they're clear
A distant motorcade and suddenly there's joy
The snow and ticker tape blurs all my senses numb
It's like the finish line where everything just ends
The crack of radios seems close enough to touch
Cold water, cleaning my wounds
A sad parade, with a single balloon
I'm done with this, I'm counting to ten
Bluest seas, running to them
I feel like I am watching everything from space
And in a minute I'll hear my name and I'll wake
I think the finish line's a good place we could start
Take a deep breath, take in all that you could want
Insect noise is all that I hear
A magic trick makes the world disappear
The skies are dark, they're dark but they're clear
A distant motorcade and suddenly there's joy
The snow and ticker tape blurs all my senses numb
It's like the finish line where everything just ends
The crack of radios seems close enough to touch
Cold water, cleaning my wounds
A sad parade, with a single balloon
I'm done with this, I'm counting to ten
Bluest seas, running to them
I feel like I am watching everything from space
And in a minute I'll hear my name and I'll wake
I think the finish line's a good place we could start
Take a deep breath, take in all that you could want
