To me it doesn't sound like it's about the end of the world at all. I've always thought that it perfectly describes trying to help an addict who is constantly relapsing. My friend is dating an addict who relapses at least once a month and I always know when he does because my friend listens to this song and says that it's speaking to her. The lines "I was carrying you/so your footsteps disappeared" sounds like when you try to carry and take care of a person under the influence. The chorus reminds me of the phrase "hitting rock bottom" and the anger that others can feel when a person does that over and over again.
