The lyrics deal with the matter of fear built around the Mayan calendar end date. Most you hear on it, is that The Mayan people said that is the day the world will end. But, They never once claimed that to be the end of the world.
Just another distraction used to make us fearful.

2. 2012
You know the end is near...
It's not the end of the world,
It never was the end of the world,
Once again our dreams are closing in,
the dread has never seemed so clear,
step back in time to see the faded line,
this day was not meant to cause fear,
Doomsday,
the dates aligned,
the arbitrary calendar system,
I'm the fear that's in your hearts and minds,
used to fuel the wretched deception,
I am always there,
even though you can't see me,
we are never apart,
even in your dreams,
Thought by thought our dreams are closing in,
this is no fifth of November,
with closed eyes wake up to find,
it's the twenty first of December,
and should the world truly end,
and we're all wiped off the grid,
are you prepared to live in your next life,
in your next life,
