The song "It's Only The End Of The World" by Harley Poe describes a post-apocalyptic world where chaos reigns. The lyrics depict a situation where women are crying, children are dying, and men are fleeing. The devil is portrayed as laughing at the turmoil, while the church is unsure of how to respond. The narrator mentions that the recently deceased have risen, but this was predicted in various forms of media such as comics and movies. They express a sense of indifference towards the human race, believing that the world would be a better place without people like themselves. Amidst the chaos, reporters are discussing the situation, and zombies are on the move, while the government has fallen apart. The narrator realizes they must escape as the zombies are fast, even though they lack intelligence. They witness the tragic loss of their wife, but they admit they did not care as it was her time to go. As the situation escalates, the narrator decides to climb onto their roof with the intention of ending their own life by jumping. They make a plan to serve themselves as food for the gathering zombies below. They hope that death will come swiftly, but acknowledge the possibility of being reborn if their landing is not fatal. The song concludes with a collective declaration of apathy towards the ongoing destruction. It emphasizes that the end of the world is seen as inevitable, and the earth would be a better place without humanity. The lyrics urge others to join in the realization that doom, death, and destruction are all that can be seen. Overall, the song portrays a bleak and despairing scenario of an unraveling world, where the narrator and others have lost hope, accepting their fate in the face of the imminent end.
