End of the World
Beware of Darkness Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Annihilate a planet, just cos you can
They relocated heaven, and I’m not telling you where
Down in the basement dodging bombs
Don’t look at my child wrong you pedophile
If you think we hit rock bottom, well you best of look down
It’s alright.
The world is ending every time we close our eyes
So let’s hold hands and die tonight
It’s the end of the world,
And tonight I want to be with you
Genuflect and load your gun
You can do anything if it’s for god
I’m entitled to this life and you are not,
So step back now
Resist the change anyway you can
Be afraid of what you don’t understand
Lock your doors and hide in fear
'Cause culture bomb is here
The lyrics of Beware of Darkness's song "End of the World" describe a world that is filled with chaos and destruction. The opening lines of the song are a warning that you should never cross the singer's "lord," for fear of death. The lyrics suggest that this lord is so powerful that they could easily annihilate an entire planet. This warning sets the tone for the rest of the song, which explores a world that is rife with danger and violence.
The second verse of the song takes on an even darker tone, with the singer describing a basement filled with bombs. They warn against anyone who might seek to harm a child, threatening them with violence if they do so. The line "if you think we hit rock bottom, well you best of look down" suggests that things may be even worse beneath the surface than they first appear. The lyrics then turn philosophical, with the singer suggesting that perhaps this is just the future arriving, before concluding with a call to hold hands and embrace the end of the world.
Overall, the lyrics of "End of the World" paint a picture of a world that is scary, violent and dangerous. The song seems to suggest that perhaps the only way to deal with the chaos around us is to embrace it and accept our own demise.

Culture Bomb was better imo, sounded more raw and energetic, slightly insane.
