NOVACUB Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Drink love, like it's your first glass
Retrieve memories from the past
'Cause we all end up back where we start
You don't get a trial run or any kind of compensation
Is the ocean deep or dry?
Take a dive don't complicate, hun
Don't need their validation
'Cause I'll be waiting
'Cause I'll be waiting (listen)
Let's play a game of hide and seek
Count down from ten, and dive behind me
When you reach three be ready
Jump in and find me, jump in and find me
Your heart beats, time too fast
Lovers leave as days go dark
Memory forget to last
One step back two to restart
'Cause me and my friends search for endless time in liquid
And the queen serves us flying on her round again
Try to stop her but she is so persistent, it's rude to be resistant
'Cause we're escaping
'Cause we're escaping (listen)
Let's play a game of hide and seek
Count down from ten and dive behind me
When you reach three be ready
Jump in and find me, jump in and find me
Bottom of the ocean
Float down like a balloon
Don't come up for air
Till you really need to
Running out of time
But don't miss the view
Suppose it's a big risk
But one of many many few
Dive in the deep, get lost in the fall
Keep the momentum you're not alone
Dive in the deep, give me more
Look for me then you'll find you
Let's play a game of hide and seek
Count down from ten and dive behind me
When you reach three be ready
Jump in and find me, jump in and find me
The lyrics of NOVACUB’s song End of The World is a poetic invocation of embracing the fleeting moments of life, living it to the fullest, and cherishing the memories that come with it. It opens with an apt admonition to “keep in time,” a timely reminder that life passes by quickly and every moment counts. Hence, the next line encourages taking advantage of moments of love and passion, enjoying them like it's the first time. This is followed by an invitation to retrieve memories of the past, recognizing that no matter how far we go in life, we all end up back where we started. Thus, there is no need to wait till we get to the end before realizing the beauty of life.
The chorus shifts to a child-like nostalgia of playing hide and seek, a game that conveys the thrill of seeking for something that is difficult to find. In the second verse, the lyrics return to the theme of time's fast pace, and how life's sweet moments often fade into distant memories. However, there is hope in the midst of all this, as the character and their friends search for endless time in liquid (drinks). They encounter the queen, who serves them flying on her round, and tries to stop her but is unsuccessful since it's rude to be resistant. The verse ends with an escape from the realities of life, a temporary flight from the inevitable.
In conclusion, End of The World is a song that implores us to live in the moment, to cherish the memories of the past, and to seek solace in the beauty of life's fleeting moments. The upbeat melody, the catchy rhythm and lyrics make for an excellent song that uplifts the soul and inspires hope.

Relationships may end when things get rough
Memory forget to last
Memories can fade away
One step back two to restart
Sometimes it takes a step back to move forward
'Cause me and my friends search for endless time in liquid
We try to escape reality and find comfort in alcohol
And the queen serves us flying on her round again
Alcohol is our temporary escape
Try to stop her but she is so persistent, it's rude to be resistant
It's hard to resist the lure of alcohol
'Cause we're escaping
We try to forget our problems
Bottom of the ocean
The depths of despair
Float down like a balloon
Falling aimlessly
Don't come up for air
Ignoring your problems won't make them disappear
Till you really need to
Face your problems when you're ready
Running out of time
Time is running out
But don't miss the view
Don't forget to enjoy life despite its challenges
Suppose it's a big risk
Taking risks is inevitable
But one of many many few
A risk is one of many things in life
Dive in the deep, get lost in the fall
Take the plunge and embrace the unknown
Keep the momentum you're not alone
Don't give up, and remember that there is always support available
Dive in the deep, give me more
Take risks and push yourself to the limit
Look for me then you'll find you
Find yourself by exploring and being vulnerable with others
