La Fin De La Fin Du Monde

In 'La Fin De La Fin Du Monde,' Calogero paints a serene and almost utopian picture of a world that has reached the end of its turmoil. The song's title, which translates to 'The End of the End of the World,' suggests a moment of ultimate peace and resolution. The lyrics describe a night where even the sea is calm, and everything stands still. This imagery evokes a sense of tranquility and harmony, where lips and hands meet without conflict, and words touch without causing harm. The world, often chaotic and full of strife, is depicted as finally at rest, with people no longer existing in a state of tension or conflict.

The second verse continues this theme of peace, even if it is fleeting. Calogero acknowledges that this calm might only last for a night, but it is a night where the world can listen to its own sounds without fear of sudden destruction. The imagery of his mouth on his lover's neck symbolizes a personal moment of intimacy that dispels all threats. This intimate connection serves as a metaphor for the larger peace that envelops the world, suggesting that love and human connection can bring about a sense of safety and calm.

In the final verse, Calogero promises everything anew, despite feeling scrutinized by his partner. The absence of submarines and torpedoes in his waters symbolizes the end of hidden threats and betrayals. His mouth on his lover's hand signifies a tender, apocalyptic moment at 'point zero,' where the world is without end. This night of peace and endlessness is a powerful metaphor for the potential of love to create a world free from conflict and fear, even if just for a moment.
