Keane - Love Is the End (lyrics)

"Love Is the End", a song that could easily wipe out half of those so-called "love songs". It doesn't deal with the general believing of love but with friendship, which is itself one of the purest forms of love:
"''Love Is the End'' I think is a great way to finish the album. What is says more than anything is love will out, love is the most important thing. And I think it is a great way to end the record, because there are so many questions being asked about where we are going as a species, and who we are as human beings and the notion, that hippie-ish notion that love can win is something that personally, I hold in high regard. I feel it is very important. For us as a band, that song came out of the tricky times we've had as a band. You know I think for us, as a band, the love we have for each other and the love for our music was the thing that got us through in the end. And so I do think it is a powerful thing to have at the end of the album. In a philosophical sense I think it is a very potent song. And it ends with a gong." (Tom Chaplin)
Thus, "love is the end" shall be read as "love is the purpose". A concept commonly used on Keane songs is "home" (notably on "Fly to Me" and "Hamburg Song") and it is a reference for their childhood in Battle. "Home" thus means themselves.

One of the greatest bands of our time....musically without fear and deeply honest in their lyrics. Moving, inspiring and all with such genuine emotion....
