Settling for Love at the End of the World
Love Beyond Apocalypse: National Barks' Ode to Last-Chance Romance
Lyrics
This sinking feeling
There's a sinking, unsettling sensation
Keeps us reminded
Constantly reminds us of something
It's a dopamine drought
There's a shortage of happiness-inducing chemicals in our brains
And the other shoe is dropping
Anticipating something bad happening soon
You huddled over
You're gathered near a fire to keep warm
A burn barrel
Using a fire to intensify emotions regarding personal belongings
To fan the flames on all your things
Attempting to keep memories alive but eventually forgotten
Just to be forgotten
Fearing being disregarded or overlooked
It's scary how American you
Commenting on the fear intertwined with being American
Go on and on about
Continuously discussing something
The way that it ends
Talking about the inevitable conclusion or outcome
You want a second opinion
Seeking another viewpoint but failing to communicate
But I forgot to hit send
Not sending crucial information
Sharing secrets we were taking to the grave
Revealing deeply kept secrets
We found truth in dark rooms
Finding truth in obscured or secretive places
Killed for the thrill of the chase
Being willing to harm for the excitement of pursuit
Packed up our things and headed out
Leaving a place due to lack of self-assurance
Due to the lack of confidence
Feeling overwhelmed by a moment of quiet
We were floored by the score of the
Being shocked by the sudden absence of noise or activity
Momentary silence
Commenting on the fear intertwined with being American
It's scary how American you
Continuously discussing something
Go on and on about
Talking about the inevitable conclusion or outcome
The way that it ends
Asking for love amidst impending disaster
You say you want love at the end of the world
Requesting companionship in trying times
Will you be my girl?
Commenting on the fear intertwined with being American
It's scary how American you
Continuously discussing something
Go on and on about
Talking about the inevitable conclusion or outcome
The way that it ends
Asking for love amidst impending disaster
You say you want love at the end of the world
Requesting companionship in trying times
Will you be my girl?
Commenting on the fear intertwined with being American
