The band self-produced their first demo, sekai NO oWARI, with a limited edition of 1,000 copies.

So I named my band End of the World to create the strength through the music."

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
この国はヒトを恐れて生きてきた
けれど「人」の「間」にあるものは
不安や恐れじゃなくて
愛だと子供たちに「教え」たい
「何か」が終わってしまったけれど
それは同時に「何か」が始まって
だからこそ「僕ら」は手を繋ごう
We are with you
「人」の「為」と描いて偽りだと
僕らはいつでも主張してきた
けれど本当の気持ちはいつだって
迷い間違え とりつくろって
偽りから始まるんだ
「何か」が終わってしまったけれど
それは同時に「何か」が始まって
僕らは「出来る事」が皆違うから
だからこそ「僕ら」は手を繋ごう
We are with you?
「何か」が終わってしまったけれど
それは同時に「何か」が始まって
「終わり」はいつでも悲しいけれど
だからこそ「僕ら」は手を繋ごう
「僕ら」の「夢」が儚いと言われようとも
それを止める理由にはならない
もしもソレが嘘や偽りだとしても
ソレが「真実」に変わるまで
僕らは謳う
The song "Never Ending World" by SEKAI NO OWARI talks about the concept of humans being afraid of one another and how this fear has led to the deceitful nature of people. However, the focus of the song is on the innocence of children who do not see this fear and deceit but instead recognize the love that exists between people. The song encourages adults to teach children that the world is not a scary place and that love should be spread around.
The lyrics of the song also speak about the beginning and ending of things, both of which can be scary for people. However, the song suggests that we should not let this fear stop us from holding hands and supporting one another. The song also encourages people to follow their dreams and not let anyone stand in the way of their aspirations.
The song's message is one of hope and positivity despite the challenges we face in life. It calls on people to acknowledge their fears but not let it control them and to focus on love instead. The song's uplifting tune and lyrics can inspire listeners to keep pushing forward and to never give up on their dreams.

もしかして、セカオワの曲の中で、一番好きかもしれません。メロディーといい歌詞といい、凄くいいと思います。なぜか、無意識に頭に残ってしまうんですよね。

古い(土の)時代が終わって、新しい(風の)時代へ移りゆく現在にぴったりの曲。
戦いに勝って幸せを得る時代から、人を笑顔にして幸せを得る時代へ。
