End of the World
Ash Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Is this the end of the world?
Is this the end of the world?

I'm feeling low today,
Is this the latest fashion.
What do the papers say,
Well then I'm bored already.
I could die, would anybody really notice
I can't relate today,
I've never felt so lonely.
Is this the modern world,
I feel I'm dead already.
That's the catch, it's such a beautiful confusion

Is this the end of the world?
Is this the end of the world?
Is this the end of the world?
Aaaah Ahhhh

I breathe a motorway,
Just for the sake of breathing.
I turn the TV on,
Don't know what to believe in.
Aaaa ahhh
Oh yeah
Aaah ahhhh

Is this the end of the world?
Is this the end of the world?
Is this the end of the world?
Aaaah Ahhhh

Can hardly see the stars
There's too much light pollution
Is this reality, or just a new illusion?
That's the catch, it's such a beautiful confusion
That's the catch, it's such a beautiful confusion

Is this the end of the world?




Is this the end of the world?
Is this the end of the world?

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Ash's song "End of the World" are somewhat harrowing and reflective of the anxiety-ridden world we live in today. The opening question, "Is this the end of the world?" is a question that many individuals ask themselves when they feel lost, lonely, and overwhelmed by the world's problems. These lyrics suggest that the singer is feeling isolated from society and that life has become meaningless to them. They are searching for a way to reconnect with the world but are struggling to do so.


As the lyrics progress, they seem to describe the singer's feeling of detachment from the modern world. They describe how they are feeling overwhelmed by the information presented in the news and are struggling to find meaning in their own life. The singer's thoughts and feelings appear to be at odds with what they see around them.


The final verses of the song describe the singer's view of the modern world as a confused and chaotic one, where reality and illusions are intertwined. They can hardly see the stars due to light pollution, which is symbolic of the modern world's relentless forward momentum. The confusion that the singer feels is both beautiful and overwhelming. Ultimately, Ash's "End of the World" is a hauntingly beautiful song that reflects our current climate of anxiety and uncertainty.

Is this the end of the world?
Questioning whether this is the apocalypse


I'm feeling low today,
Feeling down and depressed


Is this the latest fashion.
Wonders if depression has become trend


What do the papers say,
Curious about the media's opinion


Well then I'm bored already.
Already uninterested in the news


I could die, would anybody really notice
Feels alone and insignificant


I can't relate today,
Unable to connect with others


I've never felt so lonely.
Experiencing extreme loneliness


Is this the modern world,
Questions the current state of the world


I feel I'm dead already.
Feels dead inside


That's the catch, it's such a beautiful confusion
Beauty in the confusion and chaos of life


I breathe a motorway,
Breathing in polluted air


Just for the sake of breathing.
Breathing without purpose


I turn the TV on,
Watching television for distraction


Don't know what to believe in.
Uncertain about reality


Can hardly see the stars
Unable to see natural beauty due to light pollution


There's too much light pollution
Reflecting on the negative impact of modernization

Questioning whether the life they're living is real

Have you ever done anything wrong? God says everyone has (Romans 3:23) But He loves us so He sent His Son, so our sin can be wiped clean if we trust in Jesus. (Romans 6:23) (John 3: 16)
