It's the end of the world and I feel fine.

1. An obvious break-up song, though most people don't seem to agree with me.

A tournament a tournament a tournament of lies / offer me solutions offer me alternatives but I decline

Seems obvious. You lied too many times, now you're pleading and begging but I'm done, we're done.


It's time I spend some time alone.

Come on! How is this not a break-up song?


It's the end of the world as we know it and I feel fine.

End of the world as we know it is commonly used whenever a familiar situation is ending and replaced with a new normal. Such as ... a relationship ending.


Yes, stipe said it was from a dream with several people with the initials LB. But that's not at all inconsistent with it being a breakup song, especially if the person he broke up with had those same initials.
