End Of Time
Nasty Savage Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Searching for your mind
Evil all around you
Battles all the time
The Earth trembles slowly
It's only just begun
Which way will you go
At the end of time
Your body begins to shiver
Got no where to run
Raging battle surrounds you
With no where to hide
No more laws to follow
Your axe is in your hand
Which way will you go
And the end of time
Enemies gather around you
You thought were your friends
Memories of your life
Confused through your head
As you take your last breath
All that's left is your soul
Which way will you go
At the end of time
The lyrics of Nasty Savage's song "End of Time" depict a post-apocalyptic world where evil forces have taken over and battles are waged constantly. The image of creeping through darkness and searching for one's mind suggests a sense of confusion and disorientation in this new world. The Earth trembles slowly, indicating that the end of the world is a gradual process rather than a sudden event. In this world, there are no laws to follow and no safe place to hide. The only option is to fight with whatever weapon is available, as represented by the line "Your axe is in your hand."
The lyrics suggest a sense of hopelessness and inevitability as the singer faces their ultimate demise. Enemies are all around, even those whom they thought were friends. Memories of the past flood the mind, but they are confused and perhaps distorted due to the chaos of the new world. As the singer takes their last breath, all that remains is their soul. The final line of the song, "Which way will you go at the end of time," is a question that remains unanswered. It suggests that even in death, there is uncertainty and choice.
