KatyI always had this plan for the off chance I was around for the end of the world. I'd climb up on my roof top, turn up the radio, blast R.E.M.'s It's The End of The World, and watch it all go down from my lofty perch.Except real life rarely turned out that cool.And it was really happening-it was the end of the world as we knew it, and I sure as hell didn't feel fine.Everything had changed and we had been the catalyst for it all.
Katy reflects on a long-held fantasy of how she envisioned facing the apocalypse. She imagined herself on her rooftop, blasting R.E.M.’s “It’s The End of the World” while observing the chaos below. However, the reality of the situation fell far short of her idyllic plans. Instead of feeling empowered and cool, she finds herself grappling with the gravity of the moment.
The sense of inevitability weighs heavily as Katy acknowledges the drastic changes unfolding around her. It dawns on her that humanity's actions have led to this scenario, and she feels a deep sense of responsibility for being part of the catalyst for this catastrophic event. The contrast between her fantasies and the harsh reality leaves her unsettled and uncertain.
