DECIDE is the second studio album from Djo and is the follow-up to his 2019 album “Twenty Twenty”. The album’s first single “Change” was released June 22, 2022, its second single “Gloom” was released on July 25, 2022, along with its third single "Figure You Out," released August 26, 2022, and lastly "Half Life" was released September 9, 2022, before DECIDE was released on September 16, 2022.
As the follow-up to his previous album DECIDE, Keery produced The Crux with his frequent collaborators Adam Thein and Wesley Toledo at Electric Lady Studios in New York City. Three singles—" Basic Being Basic", released on January 24, 2025, "Delete Ya", February 27, 2025, and "Potion", April 2nd 2025 —preceded the album. To promote The Crux, Djo is embarking on the Back on You World Tour 2025 with Post Animal. On August 1st, 2025, Djo played at Chicago's Lollapalooza for his second time-- first time being earlier in 2022. Later in 2026 he will also play at the South America Lollapalooza dates.
On September 8, 2025, Djo surprise-released Carry The Name and posted an Instagram story asking if he should release more music. Over the next two days, September 9 and 10, he released It's Over and Awake, once again sharing Instagram stories that included the message “More?”. On September 11, Djo announced that something would be released at midnight on September 12, though he mistakenly wrote “pm” instead of “am,” later joking in another story that he didn’t know how to write the time.
Finally, on September 12, 2025, the deluxe edition of The Crux was released, featuring 12 additional tracks, making it Djo’s first album to have a deluxe version. Likely in support of the deluxe edition, on May 2, 2025, Djo announced an extension called the “Another Bite Tour,” which would begin on September 24, 2025 with shows like All Things Go and Los Angeles' Greek Theatre later in October.
End of Beginning
Djo Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
One teardrop from my eye
You better save it for
The middle of the night
When things aren't black and white
Enter, Troubadour
"Remember twenty-four?"
And when I'm back in Chicago, I feel it
Another version of me, I was in it
I wave goodbye to the end of beginning
This song has started now
And you're just finding out
Now isn't that a laugh?
A major sacrifice
But clueless at the time
Enter, Caroline
"Just trust me, you'll be fine"
And when I'm back in Chicago, I feel it
Another version of me, I was in it
I wave goodbye to the end of beginning
(Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye, goodbye)
You take the man out of the city, not the city out the man
You take the man out of the city, not the city out the man
You take the man out of the city, not the city out the man
You take the man out of the-
And when I'm back in Chicago, I feel it
Another version of me, I was in it
Oh, I wave goodbye to the end of beginning
(Goodbye, goodbye)
Overall Meaning
The lyrics to Djo's "End of Beginning" speak to the end of a chapter in life, where someone is leaving their past behind, looking toward the future with a mix of trepidation and excitement. The opening lines of "Just one more tear to cry / One teardrop from my eye / You better save it for / The middle of the night" seem to suggest that the singer has shed a lot of tears already, but that they want to save just one more for those moments of reflection when everything feels more difficult. As they move forward, they acknowledge that life is not always clear-cut or easy: "When things aren't black and white / Enter, Troubadour / Remember 24?".
The song's chorus is about the feelings that come with change, particularly when revisiting a place or situation that was significant in the past. The singer has the sense that they are a different person now, but they are also inextricably linked to their history: "And when I'm back in Chicago, I feel it / Another version of me, I was in it / I wave goodbye to the end of beginning". The overall mood of the song is bittersweet, but there is also a sense of hope, possibility, and growth.
Line by Line Meaning
Just one more tear to cry
This is the last time you'll be upset
One teardrop from my eye
You're only going to cry once
You better save it for
Don't waste your tears
The middle of the night
Only cry when it's most impactful
When things aren't black and white
During uncertain times
Enter, Troubadour
Introducing a new character
Remember 24?
Reflecting on past experiences
And when I'm back in Chicago, I feel it
Being back in a familiar environment brings up emotions
Another version of me, I was in it
Reminiscing on a previous version of oneself
I wave goodbye to the end of beginning
Saying farewell to a new beginning
This song has started now
The journey has begun
And you're just finding out
It's new to you
Now isn't that a laugh?
Isn't it funny how it works out?
A major sacrifice
Giving up a lot
But clueless at the time
Not realizing the extent of the sacrifice
Enter, Caroline
Introducing another new character
Just trust me, you'll be fine
Reassuring someone
You take the man out of the city, not the city out the man
A person's hometown will always be a part of them
Oh, I wave goodbye to the end of beginning
Saying goodbye to the start of a new start
(Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye, goodbye)
