As The End Of The World
Binocular Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Follow her down to the lake, she takes me back to where I was
Feed the fire, fire the flame, darkness sets in and the rain
As we crawl beneath the ledge and forget why we came
Forget now why we came
If we meet here again I will suffer your pain
I won't let you escape your reflection in the rain
I will love you today as the end of the world
As the end of the world
But the darkness becomes beneath us
And the moon rays light the way
As the music becomes softer
There's a light in the house that says
From the night sky she comes, tell one lie and she runs
Follow her down to the lake, she takes me back to where I was
Feed the fire, fire the flame, darkness sets in and the rain
As we crawl beneath the ledge and forget why we came
I will beg, I will kneel, I will borrow, I will steal
Just to have you again just to have you right here
And if we starve as the world spins in circles and burns
I will love you today as the end of the world
As the end of the world
As the end of the world
(As the end of the world)
(As the end of the world)
The lyrics of Binocular's song "As The End Of The World" speak to a deep and intense desire to hold onto love and connection amidst the chaos and uncertainty of the world. The opening lines set a slightly ominous tone, with the mention of a mysterious woman who runs at the slightest hint of a lie. The singer follows her to a lake, where they confront darkness and rain, and ultimately forget why they came in the first place.
The chorus of the song is a declaration of love in the face of unimaginable destruction. If the world is ending, the singer will love their partner regardless. There's a sense of desperation to the lyrics, as if this love is the only thing holding them together in the face of the unknown. The idea that the end of the world is both a physical and emotional state is powerful, and speaks to the ways in which love can feel like a world-ending event in its own right.
Overall, "As The End Of The World" is a beautifully melancholy song that captures the complexity of love, loss, and the human need for connection.
