The End of Time
Computer Magic Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

People walking by us as we pass
my headphones on and
my sunglasses
walkin' 'round I'm only roaming
try to find my own way home and

can you give me a reason?
can you give me a sign?
can you give me a signal?

and the city is freezin'
but you're all mine
don't care about other people

can we live,
can we live
a little longer?
just a little longer?
is it ending soon?
can I be with you
another day?
another day?

the world is ending
way too fast
most things this good
they never last
faces floating by me
alone
I'll try to find my way home and
can you give back my friends?
can you give me that excuse?
I know they're trying to pretend
that they're not just like all of them
I don't think it's any use

can you give me a good heart?
can you give me a nice day?
can you get rid of the the news?

cause we all need a fresh start
cause we all need a long stay
cause we're all so confused

can we live?
can we live
a little longer?
just a little longer?
is it ending soon?
can I be with you




another day?
just another day?

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Computer Magic's song "The End of Time" depicts the singer's feeling of isolation and yearning amidst the chaos of the city, as she wanders aimlessly with her headphones on and sunglasses on, in search of a way back home. Despite the freezing weather, the singer finds solace in the company of her love interest, wanting to spend a little longer with them before the world comes to an end. The lyrics also suggest a sense of disillusionment with the state of the world, with the singer questioning the motives and actions of people around her and seeking a fresh start.


The chorus of the song repeats the lyrics "can we live, can we live a little longer?" which can be interpreted as the singer's plea for more time to spend with her love interest, as well as a deeper message about the fleeting nature of life and the desire for more meaningful experiences. The song ends on a note of uncertainty, with the singer hoping for just one more day with her love interest as the world falls apart around them.


Overall, "The End of Time" can be seen as a song about the search for connection and meaning in a world that seems to be falling apart. The lyrics are evocative and thought-provoking, offering a glimpse into the singer's inner world and reflecting on the broader human condition.
