The End Of The World
Faltskog Agnetha Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Why does the sun go on shining?
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?
It ended when I lost your love
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

Oh 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 I lost your love

[Instrumental]

(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

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Faltskog Agnetha's song "The End of the World" revolve around the idea of the world ending, but not in a literal sense. Rather, it is an emotional and personal apocalypse as the singer laments the end of a relationship. The song opens with two rhetorical questions, "Why does the sun go on shining? Why does the sea rush to shore?" These natural phenomena are happening as usual, but the singer cannot understand why life continues as normal when her world has ended. She knows that the end of the world has come because her partner does not love her anymore.


The second verse poses similar questions, asking why the birds still sing and the stars still glow despite her heartbreak. She knows that the world can go on without her relationship, but she is unable to understand how life can continue or why her heart still beats and her eyes still cry, now that her love is no more. The song ends on a despairing note with the questions, "Don't they know it's the end of the world? It ended when you said goodbye." The singer's world has collapsed around her, and she is struggling to come to terms with the aftermath.
