According to attendees of fan listening parties in [[2013]] and [[2014]], the song that would eventually become "Eulogy" originally went by the titles "Shining Star" and "The Band We Loved the Most", and featured portions of {{Possessive name|Kurt Cobain}} suicide note in the bridge. The existence of these early titles were confirmed when several title iterations of "Eulogy" were listed on the [[riverscuomo.com demos|riverscuomo.com demo storefront]] in October of [[2020]].

The liner notes for ''Everything Will Be Alright in the End'' groups songs by one of three themes. "Eulogy for a Rock Band" is grouped under the category "[[Patriarchia]]" (songs about Cuomo's relationships with father figures). [[Ryen Slegr]] and [[Daniel Brummel]] of the band [[Ozma]] have writing credits on the song. [[Rivers Cuomo]], when asked about the meaning of the song in [http://blogs.wsj.com/speakeasy/2014/10/07/rivers-cuomo-weezer-interview/ an interview for the Wall Street Journal], said that the song was about one of Weezer's "forefathers":

:''In that case, I was reflecting on one of Weezer’s musical fore-fathers who is in his late stage of his career. Reached the highest highs and I couldn’t help realize that as much as he achieved, there’s gonna come a time when the next generations don’t continue listening to his music. And he will be forgotten, along with the rest of us. And that’s a sobering thought for those of us who are striving now to achieve even a fraction of what he achieved.''

When asked who, specifically, the song was about during [https://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/2mxh4o/i_am_rivers_cuomo_from_weezer_ama/cm8i4e1?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x a Reddit AMA in 2014], Cuomo replied "We'll tell you on the day he dies."


Shortly after ''EWBAITE's'' release, an instrumental-only version of the album was leaked online. In December 2017, an early version of the album was leaked.
The song contains a seemingly ambiguous lyric ("Fifteen/fifty years of ruling the planet"). Though the album version seems to use the lyric "fifteen", the earlier version of the song leaked online seems to use "fifty". The album's liner notes reinforce this ambiguity, displaying lyrics for the song with an inkblot over the word in question. In an episode of the podcast ''[[Post-Pinkerton]]'', host John Carroll observed that Cuomo was known to have listened to the Beach Boys album ''[[Wikipedia:That's_Why_God_Made_the_Radio|That's Why God Made the Radio]]'' via Spotify a year prior to ''EWBAITE's'' release, an album released nearly fifty years into the band's career, suggesting that [[Brian Wilson]] of [[the Beach Boys]], known to have been [[Don't Worry Baby#Liner_notes|a massive influence]] in Weezer's early sound, may be the musician described in "Eulogy".<ref>Carroll, John. "Eulogy for a Rock Band" ''Post-Pinkerton''. 28 August 2019. https://postpinkerton.com/eulogy-for-a-rock-band</ref> In [[2020]], various demos were released as part of the digital compilation ''[[Weezma: Daniel, Ryen & Rivers]]'', including an earlier version titled "Beatle That We Loved the Most," suggesting that the song may refer to a member of the rock band [[the Beatles]] (most likely [[Wikipedia:Paul McCartney|Paul McCartney]]). When asked who, specifically, the song was about during [https://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/2mxh4o/i_am_rivers_cuomo_from_weezer_ama/cm8i4e1?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x a Reddit AMA in 2014], Cuomo replied "We'll tell you on the day he dies."<ref>u/rivercuomo "I am Rivers Cuomo from weezer.

The song contains a seemingly ambiguous lyric ("Fifteen/fifty years of ruling the planet"). Though the album version seems to use the lyric "fifteen", the earlier version of the song leaked online seems to use "fifty". The album's liner notes reinforce this ambiguity, displaying lyrics for the song with an inkblot over the word in question. Though not an explicit confirmation of the album's inspiration, Cuomo is known to have listened to the Beach Boys album ''[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/That's_Why_God_Made_the_Radio That's Why God Made the Radio]'' via Spotify a year prior to ''EWBAITE's'' release, an album released nearly fifty years into the band's career, suggesting that [[Brian Wilson]] of the Beach Boys, known to have been [[Don't Worry Baby#Liner_notes|a massive influence]] in Weezer's early sound, is the musician described in "Eulogy".
 
Various demos were released as part of the digital compilation ''[[Weezma: Daniel, Ryen & Rivers]]''.

Goodbye, (?)
So many they were ruling the world with the magic that they made
You had a good run
The girls would scream and the boys would compete to do it just the same
13 years of fucking ruling
But all things fade away now
But all stars fade to black


Adios, Beatle that we loved the most
Adios, to the band we loved the most
This is a toast to what you did
This is a toast to what they did
And all that you were fighting for
And all that they were fighting for
Who could do more when time marches on?
Who could do more?
When time marches on
Worlds come and go
Worlds come and go
We will sing the melodies that you did long ago
But we will sing the melodies that we did long ago


Women screaming
They turned us on with the spiritual sound that inspired us to be real
The guys were copying you
And with the hearts of suffering (?) they challenged us to feel
'cause you moved the people to sobbing, inspiring
But all things fall apart now
You spoke for the world in your songs


Adios, Beatle that we loved the most
Adios, to the band we loved the most
This is a toast to what you did
This is a toast to what they did
And all that you were fighting for
And all that they were fighting for
Who could do more when time marches on?
Who could do more?
When time marches on
Worlds come and go
Worlds come and go
We will sing the melodies that you did long ago
But we will sing the melodies that we did long ago


Ooh, we'll never forget the (?)
Ooh, we'll never forget the jams they made
Ooh, let it fade
Ooh, don't be sad
Ooh, we'll never forget the (?)
Ooh, we'll never forget the jams they made
Ooh, let it fade
Ooh, don't be sad
Ooh, goodbye
Ooh, goodbye


Adios, Beatle that we loved the most
Adios, to the band we loved the most
This is a toast to what you did
This is a toast to what they did
And all that you were fighting for
And all that they were fighting for
Who could do more when time marches on?
Who could do more?
When time marches on
Worlds come and go

====Beatle That We Loved the Most (ver. 21)====
<poem>
<poem>
Goodbye, heroes
Goodbye, (?)
You had a good run
You had a good run
Fifty years of ruling the planet
13 years of fucking ruling
But now your light is fading
But all stars fade to black


Adios, superstars we loved the most
Adios, Beatle that we loved the most
This is a toast to what you did
This is a toast to what you did
And all that you were fighting for
And all that you were fighting for
Who could do more?
Who could do more when time marches on?
When time marches on
Worlds come and go
Worlds come and go
We will sing the melodies that you did long ago
We will sing the melodies that you did long ago


Women were screaming
Women screaming
Guys were copying you
The guys were copying you
As you moved the people to sobbing, inspiring
'cause you moved the people to sobbing, inspiring
You spoke for the world in your songs
You spoke for the world in your songs


Adios, superstars we loved the most
Adios, Beatle that we loved the most
This is a toast to what you did
This is a toast to what you did
And all that you were fighting for
And all that you were fighting for
Who could do more?
Who could do more when time marches on?
When time marches on
Worlds come and go
Worlds come and go
We will sing the melodies that you did long ago
We will sing the melodies that you did long ago


Ooh, we'll never forget the jams you made
Ooh, we'll never forget the (?)
Ooh, let it fade
Ooh, let it fade
Ooh, it's time that we laid you in your grave
Ooh, we'll never forget the (?)
Ooh, let it fade
Ooh, let it fade
Ooh, goodbye
Ooh, goodbye


Adios, superstars we loved the most
Adios, Beatle that we loved the most
This is a toast to what you did
This is a toast to what you did
And all that you were fighting for
And all that you were fighting for
Who could do more?
Who could do more when time marches on?
When time marches on
Worlds come and go
Worlds come and go
We will sing the melodies that you did long ago
We will sing the melodies that you did long ago

====The Band We Loved the Most 6====
====Rock Star (ver. 24)====
<poem>
<poem>
So many they were ruling the world with the magic that they made
Goodbye matey
The girls would scream and the boys would compete to do it just the same
You had a good run
But all things fade away now
10 years fucking ruling the planets
But now your light is fading


Adios, to the band we loved the most
Adios rock star that we loved the most
This is a toast to what they did
This is my toast to what you did
And all that they were fighting for
And all that you were fighting for
Who could do more?
Who could do more when time marches on?
When time marches on
Worlds come and go
Worlds come and go
But we will sing the melodies that we did long ago
We will sing the melodies that you did long ago


They turned us on with the spiritual sound that inspired us to be real
Women were screaming
And with the hearts of suffering (?) they challenged us to feel
Guys were copying you
But all things fall apart now
'cause you moved the people to sobbing, inspiring
You spoke for the world in your songs


Adios, to the band we loved the most
Adios rock star that we loved the most
This is a toast to what they did
This is my toast to what you did
And all that they were fighting for
And all that you were fighting for
Who could do more?
Who could do more when time marches on?
When time marches on
Worlds come and go
Worlds come and go
But we will sing the melodies that we did long ago
We will sing the melodies that you did long ago


Ooh, we'll never forget the jams they made
Ooh, we'll never forget the jams you made
Ooh, don't be sad
Ooh, let it fade
Ooh, we'll never forget the jams they made
Ooh, we'll never forget the jams you made
Ooh, don't be sad
Ooh, let it fade
Ooh, goodbye
Ooh, goodbye


Adios, to the band we loved the most
Adios rock star that we loved the most
This is a toast to what they did
This is my toast to what you did
And all that they were fighting for
And all that you were fighting for
Who could do more?
Who could do more when time marches on?
When time marches on
Worlds come and go
Worlds come and go
But we will sing the melodies that we did long ago
We will sing the melodies that you did long ago
