The title track from Cyrus's most recent EP, "The End of Everything" directly confronts the devastating reality that the world will end someday. "And there might not be a sadder thing / Than watchin' Saturn lose her rings / And black holes slowly dancin' in the dark / It's a song that they were born to sing / About the end of everything," Cyrus sings.
Inspired by her love for her parents and John Boswell's video time lapse showing the predicted end of the universe, the song highlights the triviality of everyday problems and encourages listeners to make the most of the time we still have. "Problems that seemed big became small," she commented on the song's YouTube video. Your pain won't last forever. Your fears won't last forever. Mother Earth won't last forever. Everyone you love is gonna' die but darlin' so is everything, don't cry . . . Let's love and let's appreciate, especially now more than ever."
