End of the World

FORGOTTENAGE's song 'End of the World' delves into the complex and often contradictory nature of morality in modern society. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of the duality present in various aspects of life, particularly focusing on the hypocrisy and deceit that can be found in places where one might least expect it. The repeated mention of 'The preacher at yo church' serves as a metaphor for those who are supposed to be moral guides but often fall short of their own teachings. This duality is further emphasized by the contrast between the spiritual upliftment offered by genuine preachers and the exploitation by 'crooked preachers' who take advantage of their congregations for financial gain.

The song also explores the idea that manipulation and exploitation come in many forms, not just the obvious ones like prostitution. The line 'See pimpin come in different forms' suggests that people can be 'pimped' or exploited in various ways, whether through religious institutions, societal expectations, or even personal relationships. This broadens the scope of the song's critique, making it a commentary on the pervasive nature of exploitation in all its forms. The repeated phrase 'You don't hear me though' underscores the frustration of being ignored or misunderstood when trying to convey these harsh truths.

Additionally, the song touches on the plight of the marginalized, such as junkies and the homeless, who are often judged and dismissed by society. The imagery of people holding signs saying they 'wanna work for food' but then 'gank you' if given a chance, highlights the desperation and moral ambiguity that can arise from extreme poverty. This serves as a stark reminder of the complexities of human behavior and the often-blurred lines between right and wrong. Through its raw and unfiltered lyrics, 'End of the World' challenges listeners to question their own perceptions of morality and the societal structures that uphold them.
