A popular conception
Is there's no way out
To give it a rest
Lodge nary a doubt

By popular demand
If there's no way out
Bar keeping the rest
Or lodge not a doubt

Then when it all goes down
There'll be no end in sight
Curiously heavy
Int'resting in light

And never here quite yet
Though soon to be true
When it's written in ink
A sign to construe

For its no picnic
Always these in tow
So find those relations
You favor; you know?

rewrite of first couplet

Spoiler for Could you be referring to

The end of the world?

When it all goes down there will be no end in sight.

Once the "end of the world" happens and the human race survives, people will realize there is no end of the world (at least until the next end-of-the-world hype).

Curiously heavy, interesting in light.

It seems very foreboding, but seen in foresight it's interesting, in a funny sort of way.

Never here quite yet, though soon to be true.

There are constant predictions of the end of the world that are in the near future, but never come.

When it's written in ink, a sign to construe.

i.e. The Mayan calendar: When it's been set in stone for so long, it's hard for some people to deny it.

[TripleOption]

Spoiler for let's try

A funeral?

[Molly Mae]

Spoiler for A long shot

Are you camping?

[psykomakia]

Spoiler for

Last will and testament. (possibly of a man condemned to death?)

[plainglazed]

nope, none of the above.

Spoiler for possibly a little something else vaguely HINT-like

further breaking down each couplet into each half of the rhyme might be helpful.
