Ava August's single "The End" is an emotionally-charged message of finality to an ex. Reflecting on the difficulties of post-breakup healing, the speaker has a sense of clarity that comes from the realization that they do not deserve the blame for causing pain. Words like "when you've got a scar, left with a broken heart, I really thought it was my fault" put the true weight of the relationship into perspective. When one person feels responsible for keeping the other safe, there's a whole web of personal wellness that gets put on the backburner for the sake of the other. The chorus is a liberating and clear-cut message to the ex, blatantly closing the door to that person and any more hurt they could cause. Listening to this song gives you an important reminder to prioritize yourself when you're in a relationship and to block away the potential for more hurt when you've just left one. It will give you that invigorating feeling of slamming the door in the face of someone who hurt you.
This pop rock track feels like an honest confession, blending Ava's expressive vocals with invigorating instrumentals. The song opens with a captivating blend of percussion, narrative vocals, and gentle guitar. Ava's singing has a textured emotion through the low notes that Paramore fans will love. A massive jump in volume reigns in the chorus, making the verse a perfect build to an energetic release of truth and emotion. In the chorus, the lyrics are powerfully projected over heavy percussion and reverberating guitar that truly reflects the power of her statements. In a boldly therapeutic expression, her voice melismatically soars with the final words of the chorus, "the end". Thrill, power, and authenticity will enthrall you through the sound of this song.
