Simms was raised by a family of musicians. Her grandfather, Frank Todaro, is a jazz pianist in Aspen, Colorado, an aunt played violin for Rod Stewart, Wayne Newton and Pavaroti. Brother Tommy Simms, of top Florida band Win Win Winter is a producer, singer, song writer and produced Juliet's first CD. Singing since she was four, writing since she was nine, Simms became a fixture of the local music cafes as a teenager. It was here where the first of 5 major labels who offered her deals, caught a live performance.
Her first 4 songs were produced by the Grammy nominated members of the death metal band Spineshank, but Juliet's melodic rock tunes "The View From Below", "Changing Skies", "Old Movie", and "I Notice" were not the right fit for that production team. Juliet asked the label for a different producer and they brought in studio master Richie Zito, a writer and producer for Elton John, the Motels and Heart, and he and Juliet re-recorded a handful of tracks that immediately garnered wide notice. "Someday" and "Make-up Smeared Eyes" captured the number one spots in three separate genres of the MySpace music charts, where Juliet became a Featured Artist. Her music was subsequently licensed to MTV’s The Real World and Road Rules. Her ballad, “Old Movie” was aired as a closing song on the 2006 season finale of The Real World.
Juliet competed on the second season of the NBC show The Voice (2012) on Team CeeLo and came in second overall.
End of the World
Juliet Simms Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
so close I thought it was heaven
If hell is a life without love
am I being punished for what I've done
Sky's on fire,
All the world disappears,
no signs of life without you here
Tears will fall
Oceans will rise,
The earth will stop turning
Since you left every breath
feels like it's burning
I know that life will go on
I will survive, but for tonight
I'd swear on my life
that this is the end of the world
Slept on your side of the bed
replayed the things that I should have said
I wish I had summoned the strength
to leave alone what I couldn't change
The sky's on fire
All the world disappears,
no signs of life without you here
Tears will fall
oceans will rise,
the earth will stop turning
Since you left every breath
feels like it's burning
I know that life will go on
I will survive, but for tonight
I'd swear on my life
that this is the end of the world
The sky's on fire
All the stars disappear
no signs of life without you
Tears will fall
oceans will rise,
the earth will stop turning
Since you left every breath
feels like it's burning
I know that life will go on
I will survive, but for tonight
I'd swear on my life that
This is the end of the world
The song "End of the World" by Juliet Simms depicts the feeling of deep sorrow and longing for a lost love. The singer reminisces on their time together and the feeling of being so close to heaven before everything came crashing down. The first verse suggests that the relationship was so good that it felt like heaven, but now that it's over, life without love feels like punishment.
In the chorus, Simms describes the devastation and destruction that follows when you lose someone you love. The sky's on fire, the earth stops turning, and oceans rise to convey the magnitude of the pain. The second verse continues with the singer trying to come to terms with their loss, replaying the things they wished they had said and longing for the strength to leave what could not be changed.
The song repeats the chorus to emphasize the pain that comes with losing love, concluding with the powerful statement, "this is the end of the world." The song portrays the deep despair and emptiness of losing someone you love and how it can feel like your whole world is collapsing.
Line by Line Meaning
We flew too close to the sun
We made a mistake by going too far, too fast
so close I thought it was heaven
It felt like we were in paradise, but it was really too good to be true
If hell is a life without love
The worst kind of existence is being alone and unloved
am I being punished for what I've done
Is this my punishment for my mistakes and bad choices?
Sky's on fire,
Everything is falling apart, it feels like the world is ending
All the world disappears,
Nothing else matters without you here
no signs of life without you here
I cannot see a future without you in it
Tears will fall
I will cry a lot and it will hurt
Oceans will rise,
It will feel like everything is sinking and falling apart
The earth will stop turning
It will feel like time has stopped and everything is frozen
Since you left every breath
Breathing is difficult without you
feels like it's burning
It hurts to keep living when you're not here
I know that life will go on
Eventually I will have to find a way to live without you
I will survive, but for tonight
I will try to be strong, but tonight it's too hard
I'd swear on my life
I am so convinced that this is the end of everything
that this is the end of the world
It feels like everything is doomed, and there is no hope left
Slept on your side of the bed
I miss you so much that I cannot even sleep on my own side of the bed
replayed the things that I should have said
I keep thinking about what I could have done differently to keep you with me
I wish I had summoned the strength
I wish I had been more courageous and made better choices
to leave alone what I couldn't change
I wish I had let go of the things that were out of my control
All the stars disappear
Everything that was once bright and beautiful is now gone
no signs of life without you
I cannot see a way forward or a purpose without you

I am just discovering Juliet's music since I am a Black Veil Brides and Andy Black fan.
FUCKKK
This shit is too deep for my emotionally unstable heart. 🖤
I seriously cried when I saw Andy's face after she got ran over.

Juliet, if you ever see this... this is amazing. You are extremely talented and this video and the song itself actually brought me to tears. You and Andy are lucky to have each other. Keep it up, girl.
