Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Welcome to the end of the world party
Your first move might be your last
This is the night we all leave it behind
Goodbye for the last time
You can tell this is an un average rage
Eighteen living the dream
Welcome to the end of the world party
Your first move might be your last
This is the night we all leave it behind
Goodbye for the last time
We feel so small watching the ball drop,
You wanna dance it's your last chance baby
We feel so small watching the ball drop,
You wanna dance it's your last chance baby
Welcome to the end of the world party
Your first move might be your last
This is the night we all leave it behind
Goodbye for the last time
Will you be invited, your front row seats at the end of the world
The end is near, we start to spin taking our last round
Bring me the dawn if the dead
The lyrics of "End of the World" by Julien-K, which was co-written by Linkin Park members Chester Bennington, Amir Derakh and Ryan Shuck, and Anthony Valcic, are essentially about living in the moment and enjoying life before it all comes to an end. The song begins with the phrase "Bring me the dawn of the dead," which could be interpreted as a reference to the end of the world or to a new beginning. The lyrics then transition to a description of a party taking place as the world ends. The partygoers know that this is their last chance to live life to the fullest, and they're making the most of it.
The theme of urgency is prominent throughout the lyrics. The phrase "Your first move might be your last" is repeated several times throughout the song, emphasizing the idea that every action could be the last. The line "We feel so small watching the ball drop" is a reference to the New Year's Eve countdown, when people gather together to watch the ball drop and celebrate the coming year. However, in the context of the song, it takes on a different meaning. The partygoers know that this is their last New Year's Eve, and they want to make it count. The phrase "Goodbye for the last time" emphasizes the finality of the situation.
Overall, "End of the World" is a song about living in the moment and enjoying life before it all comes to an end. It's a reminder to appreciate the time we have, as it could all be over in an instant.
