End of the World
Countdown to Chaos: Embracing the End with New Medicine's Anthem
Lyrics
I hear the countdown
I am aware of the impending event
Am I the only one?
Am I the sole person feeling this way?
Is it in my head,
Is this anticipation only in my thoughts?
Four, Three, Two, ONE!
Counting down from four to one, building suspense
Yeah
Expressions of excitement or anticipation
Yeah
-Yeah
-Every morning
Referencing the start of the day
Los Angeles
Describing the environment in Los Angeles with a destructive tone
Sun is shining on dreams of the hopeless
-California, burn it to the ground
-Lets see the ashes all fall down!
-Someone give me somethin I can scream out loud!
Expressing a desire for something intense to vocalize
Lets go crazy, waiting on the big show
Encouraging a wild and carefree attitude in anticipation of a significant event
Lets go crazy, everybody let go!
-What if there is no tomorrow?
-For you and me baby, here we go girl
-Party til the end of the world!
-The end of the world
Emphasizing the impending "end of the world"
I'm holding your hand, we're in the front row
Symbolic imagery of being together in challenging times
Stars are falling, and I'm never gonna let go
-Sound the warning, if they only knew
-I'll be okay as long as I've got you
-Someone give me something I can scream out loud!
Expressing the need for an intense outlet or release
Lets go crazy, waiting on the big show
Encouraging a wild and carefree attitude again, emphasizing the uncertainty of the future
Lets go crazy, everybody let go!
-What if there is no tomorrow?
-For you and me baby, here we go girl
-Party til the end of the world!
-The end of the world
Reiteration of the impending "end of the world"
Tick tock times up, god already hung up
Signifying the end of time, acknowledging deception and farewells
Tell the lies, say goodbye, Tell me when it all falls down!
-Lets go crazy, waiting on the big show
Repeating the theme of going crazy and partying in the face of uncertainty
Lets go crazy, everybody let go!
-What if there is no tomorrow?
-For you and me baby, here we go girl
-Lets go crazy, waiting on the big show
-Lets go crazy, everybody let go!
-What if there is no tomorrow?
-For you and me baby, here we go girl
-Party til the end of the world!
-The end of the world
Reiteration of partying until the end of the world
Party til the end of the world
Repetition of the idea of partying until the end
The end! The end! The end! The end!
-Party til the end of the world
Emphatic declaration of reaching the "end" during the party
