黄品冠 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Why does the sea rush to shore
Don't they know it's the end of
'Cause you don't love me any more
Why do the birds go on singing
Why do the stars glow above
Don't they know it's the end of
It ended when I lost your love.
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
It ended when you said goodbye
Don't they know it's the end of
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
It ended when you said goodbye
It ended when you said goodbye.
The song "The End of the World" by 黄品冠 is a cover of a popular song first recorded by Skeeter Davis in 1962, written by Arthur Kent and Sylvia Dee. The lyrics describe someone questioning why life and nature carry on as normal despite the loss of love, suggesting that for the singer, the end of their relationship is the end of the world. The repetition of the question "why" throughout the song emphasizes the confusion and disbelief of the singer at the continued existence of the world without their lost love.
The opening lines of the song question the very nature of the world, with the sun still shining and the sea still rushing to shore despite the end of the singer's relationship. The singer then goes on to question the singing of birds and the glow of stars, all while expressing their own confusion and heartbreak at the continuation of life without their former love. The repetition of the chorus further emphasizes the finality and devastation of the end of the relationship.
The overall message of the song is that the pain of a lost love can feel all-encompassing and can bring an end to the world as one knows it. The questions posed by the singer highlight the difficulty of moving on from heartbreak and the feeling that life can never be the same again.
