End of the World
Embracing Love in a World Unraveling
Lyrics
It’s all panic and chaos and lonesome and sadness
Expressing a sense of chaos, panic, loneliness, and sadness.
And clouds anchored over the sun
Describing a gloomy atmosphere with clouds overshadowing the sun.
You can paint on a smile, but you can’t shake the heartache
Highlighting the difficulty of concealing inner pain behind a smile.
And I fear that it’s only begun
Expressing a fear that troubles have only just begun.
If this is the end of the world
Contemplating the possibility that it might be the end of the world.
If this is what makes it come tumbling down
Suggesting that certain events or circumstances may lead to a downfall.
If we can’t get it back, if we’re too far off track
Expressing concern about the difficulty of recovering or correcting the situation.
Then I’ll spend my last days as your girl
Committing to spending the last days with a significant other if the end is near.
If you’re lonely and scared of the monsters outside
Sympathizing with someone who feels lonely and scared.
Darlin’ I feel the same
Acknowledging shared emotions of fear and loneliness.
They can give us their worst and threaten our lives
Facing external threats together without compromising the relationship.
But you and I won’t change
Asserting that the core of the relationship remains unchanged despite challenges.
If this is the end of the world
Reiterating the contemplation of the end of the world.
If this is what makes it come tumbling down
Stressing the potential consequences that may lead to a collapse.
If we can’t get it back, if we’re too far off track
Expressing doubt about the possibility of recovery or getting back on track.
Then I’ll spend my last days as your girl
Reaffirming the commitment to be together in the face of adversity.
And if this nightmare ever ends
Expressing hope for the end of a nightmarish situation.
I’ll be with you and we’ll get on with our lives again
Envisioning a future together after overcoming a challenging period.
Oh but if it’s the end of the road
Acknowledging the possibility that it might be the end of the road.
I’ll never stop calling you home
Committing to always consider the other person as home, even if the journey ends.
If this is the end of the world
Repeating the contemplation of the end of the world.
If this is what makes it come tumbling down
Reiterating the potential causes leading to a downfall.
If we can’t get it back, if we’re too far off track
Expressing doubt about the possibility of recovering or getting back on track.
Then I’ll spend my last days as your girl
Renewing the commitment to spend the last days together.
If this is the end of the world
Repeating the contemplation of the end of the world.
If this is what makes it come tumbling down
Stressing the potential consequences that may lead to a collapse.
If we can’t get it back, if we’re too far off track
Expressing doubt about the possibility of recovery or getting back on track.
Then I’ll spend my last days as your girl
Reaffirming the commitment to be together in the face of adversity.
From now ‘til the end of the world
Promising to remain committed from the current moment until the literal end of the world.
Oh I promise I’ll still be your girl
Reiterating the promise to be together even if it's the end of the world.
If this is the end of the world
Repeating the contemplation of the end of the world.
