The End Of The World
毛皮のマリーズ Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Why does the sun go on shining
Why does the sea rush to shore
Don't they know
it's the end of the world
'Cause you don't love me anymore
Why do the birds go on singing
Why do the stars glow above
Don't they know
it's the end of the world
It ended when I lost your love
I wake up in the morning
and I wonder
Why everything's the same
as it was
I can't understand
no I can't understand
How life goes on the way it does
Why does my heart go on beating
Why do these eyes of mine cry
Don't they know
it's the end of the world
It ended when you said goodbye

Don't they know




it's the end of the world
It ended when you said goodbye

Overall Meaning

"The End Of The World" by 毛皮のマリーズ expresses the overwhelming feeling of heartbreak and loss after a relationship has ended. The lyrics convey the singer's confusion and disbelief that life carries on as normal despite the profound impact of the breakup.


The first verse uses the natural elements of the sun and sea as metaphors for the world's continuing existence. The singer questions why the sun keeps shining and the sea keeps rushing to shore, as if oblivious to their personal devastation. This reflects the sense of isolation and disconnection that often accompanies a painful breakup. The repetition of the line "Don't they know it's the end of the world" emphasizes the singer's frustration, as they feel that the world should stop in recognition of their loss.


The second verse deepens the sense of despair, as the singer wonders why the birds continue to sing and the stars still glow. These symbols of beauty and joy contrast sharply with the singer's inner turmoil. The repetition of "Don't they know" further underscores the singer's feelings of disbelief and isolation. The line that follows, "It ended when I lost your love," reveals that the singer sees the end of the world as being synonymous with the end of their relationship. This suggests that their world revolved around their love, and without it, everything feels meaningless.


In the third verse, the singer describes waking up in the morning, only to find that everything remains unchanged. This reinforces the sense of confusion and disbelief, as the singer cannot comprehend how life can carry on as if nothing has happened. The line "I can't understand, no I can't understand" echoes the feelings of bewilderment and inability to grasp the reality of the situation. It reflects the universal experience of grappling with the question of why and how life moves forward even in the midst of personal devastation.


The final verse shifts the focus to the singer's inner emotions. The mention of the heart beating and the eyes crying emphasizes the physical and emotional pain endured after the breakup. The line "Don't they know it's the end of the world, It ended when you said goodbye" serves as a direct plea to the world at large, expressing the singer's longing for societal acknowledgement and understanding of their grief. It highlights the profound impact of the rejection and departure of their loved one, suggesting that the end of the relationship marked the end of their personal world.


Overall, "The End Of The World" captures the deep emotions of heartbreak and the overwhelming sense of loss experienced when a relationship ends. The lyrics explore themes of confusion, disbelief, and the desire for recognition within a world that seems oblivious to personal pain. It paints a poignant picture of a narrator grappling with the irreconcilable differences between their inner turmoil and the continuation of the outside world.
