End of Time
N.O.V.A. Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

No time like the end times don't you know
I got a fresh pack and my tin foil hat let's go
Diving in to the deep end on the news
It's a brand new day what freedom we gonna lose

Just riding out the apocalypse singing
Just riding out the apocalypse singing
Don't breathe cause the air is bad for you
The diesel smoke will have you cyanotic blue
You can charge your car at the quick mart if you're cool
But don't expect me to ride anywhere with you
Politicians never get tired of making rules no
But there's never been one that ever did a damn thing for you

Just riding out the apocalypse singing
Just riding out the apocalypse singing

Well I've never been one to follow
And I do my damnedest not to lead
I just sit here in the middle and sing
remembering how it used to be
I had a dream I was drowning
Fell asleep with the TV on
I opened up my window and the world
Came flooding in
And it buried me alone

There's no time like the end times
There's no time like the end times
There's no time like the end times
There's no time like the end times





Just riding out the apocalypse singing
Just riding out the apocalypse singing

Overall Meaning

The song "End of Time" by N.O.V.A. explores themes of apocalypticism and the erosion of personal freedom in the modern world. The lyrics describe a sense of impending doom and resignation to the fact that the world may be ending soon. The lines "No time like the end times don't you know / I got a fresh pack and my tin foil hat let's go" suggest a belief in conspiracy theories and a desire to protect oneself from harmful forces.


The song also critiques the state of politics and societal norms, with lines like "Politicians never get tired of making rules no / But there's never been one that ever did a damn thing for you." The chorus of the song, "Just riding out the apocalypse singing," indicates a sort of fatalistic acceptance of the inevitable end.


The bridge of the song, "Well I've never been one to follow / And I do my damnedest not to lead / I just sit here in the middle and sing / remembering how it used to be," portrays a sense of nostalgia for a simpler time. However, the dream sequence in the final verse, with the line "I had a dream I was drowning," suggests that even memories of the past are not enough to escape the grim reality of the present.


Overall, "End of Time" is a commentary on the state of the world and the human condition, but also serves as a reminder to hold onto hope despite the chaos.
