The title is a reference to the T.S. Eliot quote “This is the way the world ends, not with a bang, but a whimper.” The lyrics express disappointment with the dullness of the apocalypse, or upset over a lack of rapture in its midst.
[Verse 1: blackwinterwells]
Lost another head to heart attacks
Falling in streets, the sky is black
Thought there'd be light or awful sound
But the silence clangs against the ground
There's nothing here
No sign, no portent, so unclear
You pressed the button, watched us rot
And left us there, grey clouds and tears
[Chorus: 8485]
I wasted it, I wasted it
You changed the rules and I didn't know
I didn't notice
I hate the way it all just looks the same as it did before
I guess I thought you'd give us more
I guess I thought you'd givе us more
[Verse 2: 8485]
Burning rubber in the distancе
No brimstone
Fainter than a whisper
I'm sick though
Did you ever listen?
Are you even listening?
Are you even coming back?
Same old smoke in the air
You swore the signs would be more clear
I close my eyes, I'll lie right here
If you don't care, then I don't care
If you don't care, then I don't care
If you don't care, then I don't care
If you don't care, then I don't care
If you don't care, then I don't care
[Chorus: 8485]
You wasted it, you wasted it
You changed the rules, how was I to know?
Was I to notice?
I hate the way it all just looks the same as it did before
I'll go before the concrete floors
I'll go before the concrete floors
