“When The World Is Ending” is a party anthem for the end of the world. What better way to face the apocalypse than head-on? Dancing with friends, running full speed, counting your blessings, pretending everything is going to be okay. The song is both ominous and joyful, hopeless and fearless. Growing in lighthearted intensity, “When The World Is Ending” ultimately peaks in a soaring, harmonized chant reminding us that the best antidotes to fear are friendship, gratitude, and delusion.
lyrics
Heard that it might rain
I wanted to keep my sneakers dry
Thought maybe this time
I could actually keep them white
I wanted to run but
I was afraid to go outside
There’s a broken energy
I find inside
Stuck in a submarine
It seems that I’m
My only enemy sometimes
I had an hour
Before the clouds were coming in
It was one of those now
Or never kind of moments
To feel the sunlight
While everything else goes to shit
There’s a broken energy
I feel inside
Stuck in a submarine
It seems that I’m
My only enemy sometimes
When the world is ending
Gotta have someone pretending with you
When the world is ending
Gotta keep all of your blessings in view
When the world is ending
Gotta have someone pretending with you
When the world is ending
Gotta keep the mood ascending right through

Shoegaze ist die Kunst des Dröhnens, doch „Everything Is Alive“ setzt diese Elemente nur sparsam ein. Statt Hall- und Zerr-Sounds aufzutürmen, schäumt die Musik in feinen Bläschen über.
