bu parçayı diğerlerinden ayıran birkaç özellik var. albümdeki bütün parçalar biraz daha blues, biraz daha tatlış olsa da ''the end'' çok ağır bir parçadır.
bütün albümde müzikal, enstrümental şölen varken bu parçada jim morrison'ın yazarken çıldırdığı ya da çıldırıp yazdığı sözler ön plana çıkıyor. hatta konserlerinde de yerlerde sürünerek falan söylüyor bu parçayı.
parçanın en çok dikkat çeken kısmı da, şu sözlerdir;
-father -yes son -i want to kill you
-mother -yes son -i want to ......aaaaaağğğğğ diye bitiremeden çıldırır, ne diyecekti siz düşünün artık.
we've only ever kissed lying down we've only ever touched when there's no one else around i can be elusive if you want me to i'm not being intrusive i just wish i knew the truth
as to why i wait for you longer than the average person would and why i think about you more than i think one should
our bodies fit together like a make-shift puzzle and it's clear to see why you puzzle me and you turn your frame and you whisper my name as though i am a burden
cause i'm making up for lost time and i'm making up for you and i'm waking up from last night and i'm waking up with you so what's new? so what's new?
i am at your house so i belong to you for now trying to impress you but lord i don't know how i can be a statue if you want me to i'm not being difficult i just need to know the truth
as to why i'm wanting you and i would take you if i could and why i'm still (lay?) here it's something i still haven't understood
our hands rest together like pieces of paper but they're always blank when i hold your hand and it gave you a fright when i stayed the night and you gave yourself to me
cause i'm making up for lost time and i'm making up for you and i'm waking up from last night and i'm waking up with you so what's new? so what's new?
it's not the end it's not the end so don't lets pretend
cause i'm making up for lost time and i'm making up for you and i'm waking up from last night and i'm making up for you so what's new? so what's new? so what's new?
