Matt Maltese – As The World Caves In lyrics
[Verse 1]
My feet are aching
And your back is pretty tired
And we've drunk a couple bottles, babe
And set our grief aside
The Papers say it's doomsday
The button has been pressed
We're gonna nuke each other up boys
'Til old satan stands impressed


[Chorus 1]
And here it is, our final night alive
And as the earth runs to the ground
Oh girl it's you that I lie with
As the atom bomb locks in
Oh it's you I watch TV with
As the world, as the world caves in


[Verse 2]
You put your final suit on
I paint my fingernails
Oh we're going out in style babe
And everything's on sale
We creep up on extinction
I pull your arms right in
I weep and say goodnight love
While my organs pack it in

[Chorus 2]
And here it is, our final night alive
And as the earth runs to the ground
Oh girl it's you that I lie with
As the atom bomb locks in
Oh it's you I watch TV with
As the world, as the world caves...
Oh it's you that I lie with
As the atom bomb locks in
Yes it's you I welcome death with
As the world, as the world caves in

[Outro]
As the world caves in

    I think this might actually, honestly be about an end of the world romance. Or, ‘end of the world as we know it’, maybe even referencing to how the world has been going lately. The world seems to have been falling apart for years now, from 2016 to even today, more than long enough for the artist to have been thinking about and writing this in 2018. It started with terror attacks and have been continued with global relation strain and natural disasters, enough that sometimes, we think a war is going to break up. And with how the world is today, it would almost certainly become a nuclear war.

    I think this song means staying with the person that hurt you. Doesn't matter if it was physically, emotionally, or mentally, they hurt you. And as a big event happens, for example death of a family member or close friend, your there, ready to comfort them and be there when they fall.
