At a show on October 27 in Zagreb, The Cure frontman Robert Smith was emotional. Smith began to cry on “Endsong,” which the band played as a closer to match the title. Fans documented this extraordinary moment.

The more than ten-minute piece begins with an instrumental part. The singing only starts after a good six minutes. With the words “It’s all gone. (…) I don’t belong here anymore” the tears flowed.
The track is said to be on the long – but undated – announced album “Songs Of The Lost World”.
The lyrics of “End Song”
I’m outside in the dark staring at the blood red moon
Remembering the hopes and dreams I had, all I had to do
Wondering what became of that boy in a world he called his own
Yeah, I’m outside in the dark wondering how I got so old
And it’s all gone, it’s all gone
Looking at everyone I’ve loved and it all feels wrong
It’s all gone, it’s all gone, it’s all gone
No hopes, no dreams, no love
And I don’t belong
I don’t belong here anymore
It’s all gone it’s all gone
I will lose myself in time, and it won’t be long
It’s all gone, it’s all gone, it’s all gone
Left alone with nothing, at the end of every song
Left alone with nothing, at the end of every song
Left alone with nothing
