Composition

The track was solely written by Halsey and produced by her, Alex G, and Michael Uzowuru. "The End" is an acoustic and folk ballad that features the singer's "raw" vocals and an acoustic guitar.[1] Lyrically, the track focuses on the singer's health struggles and topics of existentialism.[2][3]

In the song's pre-chorus and chorus, the narrator portrayes the feeling of love that "is healing and transcends the body's limits". The second verse describes Halsey talking to her doctor and telling them "I'm not bitter 'cause I finally found a lover/Who's better for my liver, and now I'll finally recover". The song ends with the singer "adresses[ing] her own mortality" and "a suggestion that [she] is not nearly done fighting", "When I met you, I said I would never die/ But the joke was always mine 'cause I'm racing against time/ And I know it's not the end of the world, but could you pick me up at eight?/ 'Cause my last treatment starts to day".[1][4]
