"The End of the World" is a song by English rock band The Cure. It was the first single to be released from their 2004 album The Cure and reached the top 40 in Italy and the United Kingdom.
The music video was directed by Floria Sigismondi[citation needed] and shows Smith in a house which begins to destroy itself. As he leaves the house, it becomes debris and the rest of the band find stuff from the debris. The video ends with the house rebuilding itself and Smith going back inside and plants growing on the floor.
