Lyrics
I take a step outside to clear my head
I step outside to clear my head
Breathe in all the bomb smoke
Breathe in bomb smoke, symbolic of destruction
That makes living ppl dead
The consequence of destructive actions affecting living people
I use any excuse to catch a glimpse
Seeking excuses to witness destruction, perhaps out of fascination
Of a mushroom cloud at sunset
Describing the eerie beauty of a mushroom cloud at sunset
A neon doomsday kiss
Portrays a surreal and ominous atmosphere, a metaphorical doomsday kiss
This is the end
This is the end, signaling a significant conclusion
My dearest friend
Referring to someone close as the end approaches
It's a good time
Suggesting an acknowledgment that the end can be a new beginning
To begin again
Reiterating the idea that endings can be opportunities for fresh starts
This is the end
Repeating the theme of the end as a favorable time to start anew
My dearest friend
-It's a good time
-To begin again
-The sanctuary bells are ringing out
Sanctuary bells ringing but emphasizing the illusion of safety
But safety is illusion
Highlighting doubt in faith amidst a seemingly secure environment
And all faith is ripe with doubt
Expressing skepticism and questioning the value of faith
I'm planting roses for the final bow
Symbolic act of planting roses, perhaps for a final farewell
Cemetery planet
Describing a world resembling a cemetery due to destruction
We burned the fucking stage down
Metaphorically burning down a stage, suggesting a dramatic conclusion
This is the end
Reiteration of the end as a favorable time for new beginnings
My dearest friend
-It's a good time
-To begin again
-This is the end
-My dearest friend
-It's a good time
-To begin again
-Begin again
Emphasizing the possibility of starting over
This is the end
Repeating the statement that this is the end
A collective sigh rises from the ppl
Reflecting on the collective sigh and questioning the purpose of life
"What was it all for?"
-And does it matter? It doesn't matter.
-We've been here....
Acknowledging repetition of existential experiences
Before the world stops we climb up to the roof
Describing an ascent to the roof before the world stops
I leave a black hole on his neck + fall thru
Depicting a departure, leaving a mark and falling into the unknown
My funeral playlist on the radio
Funeral playlist on the radio, implying acceptance of the end
Might be late to work I'm enjoying the show
Enjoying the impending end as a spectacle, possibly avoiding responsibilities
In all reality I'm terrified
Expressing fear in reality despite outward composure
But here's to all my loved ones
Toasting to loved ones and anticipating reunion in the afterlife
I'll find you on the next ride
Expressing a willingness to embrace the uncertainty of the next journey
This is the end
Reiteration of the end as a favorable time for new beginnings
My dearest friend
-It's a good time
-To begin again
-This is the end
-My dearest friend
-It's a good time
-To begin again
-It's a good time
Emphasizing the opportune moment to start afresh
To begin again
-It's a good time
-To begin....
Repeating the idea of beginning anew, leaving the statement open-ended
