THE WORLD
Maroon Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

A black dust is falling down to earth.
Unknown diseases resist any cure.

The end!
The world stops turning!

Pestilence the black medieval death.
Skinned alive by acid rain falling from the sky.

The final hours.
The sun burns with no regret.
The worlds havoc.
The black sky's falling down.

The world burns!
This is the end of all the things!

Prophets speaking of judgment day.
The streets are filled with deformed human beings.
Earthquakes take away countless lives.
The great panic has come to take the rest.

The final hours.
The sun burns with no regret.
The worlds havoc.
The black sky is falling down.

The end!
The world stops turning!
The world burns!
This is the end of all the things!





THE END OF ALL THE THINGS!

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Maroon's song "The World" seem to depict the end of the world. The first two lines describe a black dust and unknown diseases that resist cure falling down to earth. These lines suggest the possibility of an Apocalypse, as the deadly mix of diseases and black dust could be something that ends human life on earth. The subsequent lines talk about the pestilence, the black medieval death and the acid rain falling from the sky that threaten the very existence of life as we know it. The final hours of the world are depicted in lines that talk about the sun burning with no regret and the black sky falling down. The world is going up in flames, and this is the end of all things.


The song delves deeper into the experiences of people during the apocalypse. Prophets speak of judgment day, a time when the righteous will be judged and awarded, while the streets are filled with deformed human beings, probably caused by the diseases and other terrible things that come with the end of the world. Earthquakes take away countless lives, and the great panic has come to take the rest. The final hours of the world are dark and gloomy, with no hope of survival.


Overall, the lyrics of "The World" by Maroon paint a vivid picture of an apocalyptic scenario, where there is no escape for humanity. The song sends a message that we should take care of our planet and prevent our actions from bringing about the end of the world.

THIS LOVE

I was so high, I did not recognize
The fire burning in her eyes
The chaos that controlled my mind
Whispered goodbye as she got on a plane
Never to return again
But always in my heart

This love has taken its toll on me
She said goodbye too many times before
And her heart is breaking in front of me
I have no choice 'cause I won't say goodbye anymore

(woah, woah, woah...)

I tried my best to feed her appetite
Keep her coming every night
So hard to keep her satisfied
Oh, kept playing love like it was just a game
Pretending to feel the same
Then turn around and leave again

But, oh, this love has taken its toll on me
She said goodbye too many times before
And her heart is breaking in front of me
I have no choice 'cause I won't say goodbye anymore

(woah, woah, woah...)

I'll fix these broken things
Repair your broken wings
And make sure everything is alright
(It's alright, It's alright)
My pressure on your hips
Sinking my fingertips
Into every inch of you
'Cause I know that's what you want me to do

This love has taken its toll on me
She said goodbye too many times before
And her heart is breaking in front of me
I have no choice 'cause I won't say goodbye anymore

This love has taken its toll on me
She said goodbye too many times before
My heart is breaking in front of me
She said goodbye too many times before

(This love has taken its toll on me)
(She said goodbye too many times before)
(And her heart is breaking in front of me)
(I have no choice 'cause I won't say goodbye anymore...)

I was so high I did not recognize
The fire burning in her eyes
The chaos that controlled my mind
Whispered "Goodbye", she got on a plane
Never to return again
But always in my heart

This love has taken its toll on me
She said "Goodbye" too many times before
And her heart is breaking in front of me
And I have no choice 'cause I won't say goodbye anymore

I tried my best to feed her appetite
Keep her coming every night
So hard to keep her satisfied
Kept playing love like it was just a game
Pretending to feel the same
Then turn around and leave again,
But I know...

This love has taken its toll on me
She said "Goodbye" too many times before
And her heart is breaking in front of me
And I have no choice 'cause I won't say goodbye anymore

I'll fix these broken things
Repair your broken wings
And make sure everything's alright
My pressure on your hips
Sinking my fingertips
Into every inch of you
'Cause I know that's what you want me to do

This love has taken its toll on me
She said "Goodbye" too many times before
And her heart is breaking in front of me
And I have no choice 'cause I won't say goodbye anymore

This love has taken its toll on me
She said "Goodbye" too many times before
And my heart is breaking in front of me
She said "Goodbye" too many times before

This love has taken its toll on me
She said "Goodbye" too many times before
And her heart is breaking in front of me
And I have no choice 'cause I won't say goodbye anymore
