“You’ve lied your way / To your own truth / Treat me like something / To be disused.”
The final chorus hits harder than ever, underscoring the song’s ultimate message—severing ties with toxicity and standing firm in self-worth. The abrupt ending leaves a lingering impact, reinforcing the gravity of the words unspoken.
“PTHFNDR – Lines End” is not just a song; it’s a battle cry for those reclaiming their power. With intricate instrumentation, dynamic shifts, and emotionally charged lyricism, PTHFNDR cements their place in the modern heavy music landscape.
