End of the World
Davis Skeeter Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Why does the sea rush to shore?
Don't they know it's the end of the world?
'Cause you don't love me anymore
Why do the birds go on singing?
Why do the stars glow above?
Don't they know it's the end of the world?
I wake up in the morning and I wonder
Why everything's the same as it was
I can't understand, no, I can't understand
How life goes on the way it does
Why does my heart go on beating?
Why do these eyes of mine cry?
Don't they know it's the end of the world?
It ended when you said goodbye
Why does my heart go on beating? (Mmhmm)
Why do these eyes of mine cry? (Mmhmm)
Don't they know it's the end of the world?
It ended when you said goodbye
Davis Skeeter's song "End of the World" is a melancholic and introspective ballad that reflects the pain and confusion of a breakup. The lyrics suggest that the world should come to an end when the love that holds it together disappears. The song opens with the rhetorical questions, "Why does the sun go on shining? Why does the sea rush to shore?" which are in sharp contrast to the gloomy mood of the singer. The vivid imagery of the natural world in calamity adds to the dramatic effect of the impending end in the singer's mind.
The second verse of the song continues with the rhetorical inquiries, "Why do the birds go on singing? Why do the stars glow above? Don't they know it's the end of the world?" These recurring questions are a reflection of the singer's apparent frustration and lack of comprehension about why life goes on despite the end of what he had always considered the center of his universe. The final verse of the song repeats the initial questions again, demonstrating how the pain and heartache he is experiencing render it impossible for him to comprehend or accept the inevitability of time passing and life moving on.
