Composition[edit]
"End of the World" is approximately three minutes and fourteen seconds long in both Kingdom Hearts and the HD remake of Kingdom Hearts Final Mix. It has a time signature of 4/4 and a tempo of 78 beats per minute.
For instrumentation, each version uses the same instruments, though for games not in the HD remakes, some voices are covered through electronic means- such as synthesizer. In general, the instrumentation includes: strings, orchestral bells, piano, harp, and chorus.
"End of the World" contains references to "Dive into the Heart -Destati-" and "Dearly Beloved". Both of these tracks appeared at the beginning of the game, being repurposed here for a more sinister endgame track. For the "Destati" theme, this is heard in the vocal part and violin. Both treble and bass clef voices repeat the word "Destati" alongside choir-ahhs as one would hear in the original "Destati" theme. For "Dearly Beloved", the rhythm is slightly different – now faster and more choppy – and the orchestral bell part occasionally interrupts with this motif. The piece has a very subjective tone. There is a haunting beauty to the piece, yet an overlapping sadness, knowing and seeing a world frozen in the middle of destruction due to the Heartless invasion. Overall, the piece has a desolate feeling to it.
