End Of The World
Farewell to Love: Exploring the Emotional Sunset in Herman's Hermits' 'End Of The World'
Lyrics
Why does the sun go on shining?
Questioning the continuity of the sun shining despite personal emotional distress.
Why does the sea rush to shore?
Raising a similar question about the relentless nature of the sea rushing to shore.
Don't they know it's the end of the world
Expressing disbelief that the world seems oblivious to personal pain and considers it the end.
When you don't love me anymore?
Highlighting a personal emotional crisis where love has faded and the world feels different.
Why does my heart go on beating?
Questioning the continued beating of the heart in the face of emotional devastation.
Why do these eyes of mine cry?
Asking why tears continue to flow from the eyes despite the end of the relationship.
Don't they know it's the end of the world?
Reiterating the disbelief that the world continues despite the personal emotional ending.
It ended when you said goodbye
Stating that the world truly ended at the moment of the heartbreaking goodbye.
I wake up in the morning and I wonder
Expressing confusion and questioning the lack of change in the world after a significant personal event.
Why everything's the same as it was
Reflecting on the persistence of the familiar despite the personal upheaval.
And I can't understand, no, I can't understand
Emphasizing the difficulty in comprehending the continuity of life despite personal loss.
Why life goes on the way it does
Expressing puzzlement at the relentless progression of life despite personal turmoil.
Why do the birds go on singing?
Questioning the singing of birds despite the perceived end of the world.
Why do the stars shine above?
Asking why stars continue to shine above despite personal darkness.
Don't they know it's the end of the world?
Repeating the disbelief that the world persists despite personal emotional devastation.
It ended when I lost your love
Affirming that the world truly ended with the loss of love.
Don't they know it's the end of the world?
Rhetorical question, reiterating the idea that the world should acknowledge the personal end.
It ended when you said goodbye
Reaffirming that the world ended with the painful goodbye.
