"The End of the Game" is a song by the American rock band Weezer, released on September 10, 2019, as the first single from their fifteenth studio album Van Weezer. A music video for the song was released the same day, starring American rock band Cherry Glazerr, although they are not featured on the song. The band performed the song at Jimmy Kimmel Live! the same day the song was released.
Composition
According to Weezer frontman Rivers Cuomo, "The End of the Game" contains at least 100 guitar overdubs. The song has been categorized as alternative rock, power pop, hard rock, and pop metal.
Critical reception
The A.V. Club writer Gwen Ihnat wrote "for those who prefer their Weezer less mellow, more rocking, it's the band's best song in years". Ihnat added "If the rest of Van Weezer sounds as joyously rocking as this keg-stand soundtrack, it could make Pinkerton an even more distant memory (blasphemy, we know). This is the kind of music the sign of the devil was made for, so enjoy."
Lyrics:
Hey Suzy, where you been today?
I'm looking for you every way
No sign of you when I wake up
I'm on an island with no sun
I feel like I've known you my whole life
You got my crying like when Aslan died
Now you're gone
The melody can't find you
I'm incomplete without you
I guess we've reached the end of the game
Ooh-ooh, hit me
I know that you would crank this song
Air-guitaring with your headphones on
We dig the same type of melodies
The ones to get you next to me
I was Mick and you were Marianne
You would harmonize when I felt bad
But now you're gone
The melody can't find you
I'm incomplete without you
I guess we've reached the end of the game
Ooh-ooh, hit me
Ooh-ooh
Am I your go-to, or am I uncool?
With all of these extremes that I go to
All I want is to be wanted by you
All I want is to be wanted by you
But the melody can't find you
I'm incomplete without you
I guess we've reached the end of the game
Ooh-ooh, hit me
Ooh-ooh, hit me
Ooh-ooh, hit me
Ooh-ooh, hit me
Weezer played this song in the hella mega tour, 2020.
