Lyrics
This is the way that the world ends
This expresses a contemplation on the end of the world.
Making amends so I can disappear
Seeking reconciliation or redemption to vanish or escape.
Making the change, get away a while
Desiring change and a temporary escape from the current situation.
Even me out, to move without fear
Wanting to achieve emotional balance to move forward without fear.
Everything is in a while
Time is a factor in the perspective being presented.
Leaving when it gets too real
Choosing to leave when reality becomes too intense or overwhelming.
Tired of myself again
Expressing weariness with one's own identity or actions.
Taken everything I can steal
Having taken everything possible to the point of stealing.
Who’d you think is winning now
Raising a question about who is currently succeeding or winning.
And does it really matter anyhow
Questioning the significance of the current situation.
This is the way that the world burns
Comparing the world's end to a destructive process like burning.
Where can I turn to keep me honest?
Pondering where to turn to maintain honesty amidst challenges.
In the malaise there is a sad truth
Acknowledging a harsh truth within a sense of unease or discontent.
There’s nothing as cruel as a promise
Highlighting the cruelty of promises, possibly suggesting betrayal.
Everything is in a while
Reiteration of the temporal nature of everything.
Leaving when it gets too real
Consistently choosing to withdraw when faced with harsh reality.
Tired of myself again
Expressing a recurring dissatisfaction with oneself.
Taken everything I can steal
Having exhausted opportunities, even resorting to theft.
Who’d you think is winning now
Raising the question of who is currently achieving success.
And does it really matter anyhow
Questioning the overall significance or impact of the current situation.
Everything is in a while
Reiteration of the transient nature of everything.
Leaving when it gets too real
Consistently opting to leave when reality becomes too intense.
Tired of myself again
Continuing to express weariness with one's own identity or actions.
Taken everything I can steal
Having taken everything possible to the point of resorting to theft.
Who’d you think is winning now
Raising the question of who is currently succeeding or winning.
And does it really matter anyhow
Questioning the ultimate significance or relevance of the ongoing situation.
