Love at the End of the World
Love Beyond Apocalypse: Samuel White's Ode to Lasting Bonds
Lyrics
I spent some days sitting all alone
The speaker spent some time by themselves.
Check the news and then I moan
They checked the news and expressed distress or dissatisfaction.
Considered all the ways to get out
The speaker considered various ways to escape or survive.
But there are none, I'm done no doubt
Realized there are no viable options left.
The TV says asteroid inbound
The TV reports an incoming asteroid, but the speaker remains stoic.
I don't cry, I make no sound
They do not outwardly express emotions despite the impending danger.
For now I know
The speaker has come to a realization.
I love you so
Expresses deep love for someone.
I'm on the phone to my old man
The speaker reaches out to their father for help.
Help me, Daddy, if you can?
Asking for assistance from their father figure.
But now I know
Reiterates the profound love they feel.
I love you so
Emphasizes the depth of their affection.
They tried to build a powerful plane
Reference to an attempt to build an escape vehicle.
To fly away and start again
The intention was to restart life elsewhere.
It didn't work, the money ran dry
However, the plan failed due to lack of funds.
So told us to say goodbye
They were instructed to bid farewell.
Now if you have them, find your friends or significant other
Encourages people to reach out to loved ones.
Find your Sister or Brother and tell each other that you love one another
Emphasizes the importance of expressing love to family and friends.
For now I know
Reaffirms the depth of the speaker's feelings.
I love you so
Expresses love strongly once again.
What is that in the sky?
The speaker notices something alarming in the sky.
Oh my God, I'm going to die
Expresses fear or realization of impending doom.
For now I know
Reiterates the strong affection they feel.
I love you so
Despite imminent danger, the speaker strongly declares their love.
If today is the day, and now is the time
If the end is near, the speaker wants closeness and comfort.
Come put your hand softly in mine
Invites someone to share a tender moment.
Lock our lips, close our eyes
Desires to share a passionate kiss.
Fly away to clearer skies
Metaphorically aiming for a better place together.
Look my dear, we are fine
After the scare, reassures that everything is okay.
No disaster, lost no time
No catastrophe occurred, no time was lost.
It looks like we just survived
Feels like they've survived the apocalypse.
The end of the world, no surprise
The end of the world wasn’t surprising.
For now I know
Repeated declaration of profound love.
I love you so
Emphasizes deep affection once again.
