The End Of The World
Mud (1970's) Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Why does the sea rush to shore?
Don't know it's the end of the world
Cos 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.
(spoken): 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
(sung): It ended when you said goodbye.
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
Oh don't, don't they know it's the end of the world
It ended when you said goodbye.
The song, "The End of the World" by Mud, speaks of a heartbroken person who has just had their world come crashing down. The opening lines of the song use a metaphorical language, asking why the sun isn't shining and why the sea is rushing to shore, which could mean that the world is coming to an end. But in reality, the world is the same as ever, just that the person's world has ended because they have lost their love. They ask why their heart is still beating and why their eyes still cry even though the person they love is no longer with them. They are in complete disbelief that life is still going on despite their loss.
The song is a poignant reminder of how devastating heartbreak can be. The person singing is struggling to come to terms with their loss and is unable to understand how the world can move on, seemingly unscathed. This song has a universal appeal, and anyone who has experienced heartbreak can relate to it. The lyrics beautifully articulate the pain, grief, and disbelief one feels after a breakup.

LA FIN DU MONDE
Pourquoi le soleil rejoint-il la brillance?
Pourquoi la mer se précipite-t-elle vers le rivage?
Je ne sais pas que c'est la fin du
monde parce que tu ne m'aimes plus?
Pourquoi les oiseaux continuent-ils à chanter?
Pourquoi les étoiles brillent-elles au-dessus?
Ne savent-ils pas que c'est la fin du monde il
s'est terminé quand j'ai perdu ton amour je
me réveille le matin et je me
demande pourquoi tout est pareil,
je ne peux pas comprendre, non je ne peux pas comprendre comment la vie continue comme il le fait
Pourquoi mon cœur continue-t-il de battre?
Pourquoi mes yeux pleurent-ils?
Ne savent-ils pas que c'est la fin du monde
Ça s'est terminé quand tu as dit au revoir
(parlé): Pourquoi mon cœur continue-t-il de battre?
Pourquoi mes yeux pleurent-ils?
Ne savent-ils pas que c'est la fin du monde
(chanté): ça s'est terminé quand tu as dit au revoir
je me réveille le matin et je me demande
pourquoi tout est pareil,
je ne comprends pas, non je ne comprends pas comment la vie continue comme elle le fait
Pourquoi mon cœur continue-t-il de battre?
Pourquoi mes yeux pleurent-ils?
Ne savent-ils pas que c'est la fin du monde cela
s'est terminé quand tu as dit au
revoir oh non, ne savent-ils pas que c'est la fin du monde cela
s'est terminé quand tu as dit au revoir
