I think this song is actually about suicide, not the apocalypse (That's just taking it at face value imo).
"Do I end this all for the world to see"=Suicide
"Do I take everybody else down[...] Everybody else down with me."=Hurting his loved ones by taking his life
"I know that death approaches fast. [...] What's the purpose if this life wont last?"=Life is short, so why not end it now?
