(Hello, hello, hello)
I'm waking up at the start of the end of the world,
But its feeling just like every other morning before,
Now I wonder what my life is going to mean if it's gone,
The cars are moving like a half a mile an hour
And I started staring at the passengers who're waving goodbye
Can you tell me what was ever really special about me all this time?
But I believe the world is burning to the ground
Oh well, I guess we're gonna find out
Let's see how far we've come
Let's see how far we've come
Well I, believe, it all, is coming to an end
Oh well, I guess, we're gonna pretend,
Let's see how far we've come
Let's see how far we've come
I think it turned ten o'clock but I don't really know
Then I can't remember caring for an hour or so
Started crying and I couldn't stop myself
I started running but there's no where to run to
I sat down on the street and took a look at myself
Said where you going man you know the world is headed for hell
Say your goodbyes if you've got someone you can say goodbye to
I believe the world is burning to the ground
Oh well, I guess, we're gonna find out
Let's see how far we've come
Let's see how far we've come
Well I, believe, it all, is coming to an end
Oh well, I guess, we're gonna pretend,
Let's see how far we've come
Let's see how far we've come
It's gone gone, baby its all gone
There is no one on the corner and there's no one at home
It was cool cool, it was just all cool
Now it's over for me, and it's over for you
Well its gone gone, baby its all gone
There is no one on the corner and there's no one at home
Well it was cool cool, it was just all cool
Now it's over for me, and it's over for you
But I believe the world is burning to the ground
Oh well, I guess we're gonna find out
Let's see how far we've come
Let's see how far we've come
Well I, believe, it all, is coming to an end
Oh well, I guess, we're gonna pretend,
Let's see how far we've come
Let's see how far we've come
Let's see how far we've come
Let's see how far we've come
Let's see how far we've come
Let's see how far we've come
Let's see how far we've come
Let's see how far we've come
Let's see how far we've come
I'm waking up at the start of the end of the world,

Let's see how far we've come
Let's see how far we've come

Of course, that won't stop some people from interpreting this song in bizarre ways. Such as the:
"Kurt Cobain fan": This song is about Kurt Cobain! What, isn't EVERY song about Kurt Cobain?
"Overly emotional person": This song is about a relationship! You see, the world is, like, a girl and the sing is a boy and.... .what?
"Jesus guy": This song is about JESUS! Every song is about JESUS! JESUS!!!!!!
Emo/Nilism guy: "This song is about nothing - it's meaningless. I hate it. But I listen to it. I hate everything.
"I like this song guy": I love this song! Whoooo! I love this song! Whooooo! What? What meaning?
'Waking up at the start of the end of the world' - This signifies that the person is aware they are near 'the end', 'but it's feeling just like every other morning before' - despite this it gives no indication of what is to come.
Now don't all pull faces and smirk when I say this but to me in particular I can relate this to the way that I am entering my last year of high-school and am starting to find the way I see everything is completely different from even say, the start of this year and am starting to realize that my 'world is burning to the ground' and all I can do about it is push on until I can 'see how far I've come' as I near 'the end'. I can imagine it as relating to any up-coming major lifestyle change whether it be entering parenthood, old age, a new career field or anything, perhaps even less of a deal than that which has large significance to the person listening to the song. Heh, I suppose I'm applying the 'reader response theory' here even though it's a song not a book but it still sort of works.
I think it is about a guy who suddenly realizes that life ends, and he's thinking about everything he's done over his lifetime. whether or not he's happy about it is something else.
It reminds me to always look back at what i did with my life and see what it took to get here.
Here are the right ones:
I'm waking up at the start of the end of the world,
but it's feeling just like every other morning before.
Now I wonder what my life is going to mean if it's gone.
The cars are moving, like, a half a mile an hour and I
started staring at the passengers who're waving goodbye.
Can you tell me what was ever really special about me all this time?
But I believe the world is burning to the ground.
Oh well, I guess we're gonna find out.
Let's see how far we've come.
Let's see how far we've come.
Well I believe it all is coming to an end.
Oh well, I guess we're gonna pretend.
Let's see how far we've come.
Let's see how far we've come.
I think it turned ten o' clock, but I don't really know.
Then I can't remember caring for an hour or so.
Started crying and I couldn't stop myself.
I started running, but there's nowhere to run to.
I sat down on the street and took a look at myself,
said, "Where you going, man? You know the world is headed for Hell.
Say your goodbyes if you've got someone you can say goodbye to."
I believe the world is burning to the ground.
Oh well, I guess we're gonna find out.
Let's see how far we've come.
Let's see how far we've come.
Well I believe it all is coming to an end.
Oh well, I guess we're gonna pretend.
Let's see how far we've come.
Let's see how far we've come.
It's gone, gone, baby, it's all gone.
There is no one on the corner and there's no one at home.
It was cool, cool, it was just all cool.
Now it's over for me and it's over for you.
Well, it's gone, gone, baby, it's all gone.
There is no one on the corner and there's no one at home.
Well, it was cool, cool, it was just all cool.
Now it's over for me and it's over for you.
But I believe the world is burning to the ground.
Oh well, I guess we're gonna find out.
Let's see how far we've come.
Let's see how far we've come.
Well I believe it all is coming to an end.
Oh well, I guess we're gonna pretend.
Let's see how far we've come.
Let's see how far we've come.
Let's see how far we've come.
Let's see how far we've come.
Let's see how far we've come.
Let's see how far we've come.
Let's see how far we've come.
Let's see how far we've come.
Let's see how far we've come.
NB: I'm making no claim on whether they're correct or not because I don't know all the lyrics, I'm just saying Billy Boy is a wanker.
