End of the World
Kelsea Ballerini Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Insecure and just done with it
Love gave up so start believin'
I don't know how to get through feelings
I thought it was the end of the world
But it kept spinning round round round
And then the sun came up again
I thought the stars in the sky
And in my eyes have lost their shine
But just like a lifeline right on time
I met you at the end of the world
The sky kept fallin', but we danced in it
I was done with love, but second chance in it
You cleared the smoke and picked up the wreckage
Gotta go through hell to get to heaven
I thought it was the end of the world, but
It kept spinning round round round
And then the sun came up again
And I stopped lookin' down down down
I thought the stars in the sky and in my eyes
Have lost their shine
But just like a lifeline right on time
I met you at the end of the world, the world, the world
I thought the cold would last forever
I didn't know that there was something better
Waitin' at the end of the world, the world, the world yeah
I thought it was the end of the world
But It kept spinning round round round
And then the sun came up again
And I stopped lookin' down down down
I thought the stars in the sky
And in my eyes have lost their shine
But just like a lifeline right on time
I met you at the end of the world, the world, the world yeah
I thought it was the end of the world
I thought it was
The darkest midnight I'm lost in it
The sky kept fallin', but we danced in it

They describe their feelings as being in "the darkest midnight," and they are "insecure and just done with it." They have lost faith in love and don't know how to deal with their emotions. However, they quickly realize that they were wrong in their assumptions when they find love again. The lyrics describe how the singer thought it was the end of the world, but their world kept spinning, and the sun came up again. They thought the stars had lost their shine, but they met the perfect person at the end of the world.
The second verse of the song continues with the metaphor of the sky falling, but the singer and their love interest continue to dance through it. They were initially done with love but were given a second chance through their newfound relationship. The lyrics describe how the love interest cleared the smoke and picked up the wreckage, showing how they were able to guide the singer through their struggles. Ultimately, the song suggests that even when things seem hopeless, there is always a chance for hope and love to find a way.

Dark as midnight and lost in it
Insecure and just done with it
Love gave up, so I stop believing
That I don't know how to get through feelings
I thought it was the end of the world
