At the end of the day,” seems to be used figuratively in the sense of “when all is said and done.
When everything is said and done
Other’s opinions matter none
Advice is given freely, at no cost
But usually, their words get lost
You might listen but at the end of the day
Their words didn’t help; they just got in your way
Eventually, you figure it out on your own
We end up gathering the seeds we have sown
Sooner or later, that decision made
All other voices to the wind now fade
So, when it’s the eleventh hour
Or you are at the end of your rope
Like the cliche at the end of the day
Most opinions don’t instill much hope
