Apocalypse Lyrics

[Chorus]
I see violence, oh
And I hear sirens, uh oh oh
No where to go, no where to run
They gave me the shot, they took away guns
Nothing to eat, we can’t go to sleep
We’re stuck in our homes, they’re flooding the streets
Everyone watching and glued to their screens
Misinformation like every week, apocalypse!
LexNour

[Verse 1]
This ain’t no game, better choose your side and protect your soul
Devil is lurking, he’s looking for victims in power to use and regain his control
No one to trust, everybody’s corrupt
End of the world really feels like it’s close
Feels like it’s Truman and I’m just a person they’re watching at home on a evening show
Fake information and all of it’s free
Dumb politicians, Corrupt police
Tanks and riots, bodies piling, smell of corruption is flooding the streets
Children are crying, there’s nothing to eat
Left and right, there’s no in between
Who do we trust when it’s us against us and we’ll do anything just to get a retweet?
2021’s no joke boy, you better stay inside, pray to God during these times
Let me you give some advice, at night, stay inside, your life has a price, they will buy
Everybody’s trying to fight, gas prices spiked, no bus, can’t walk, we can’t drive
Everybody's on edge, trying to get ahead, so I’m chucking up this peace sign
Let me get into the real
They don’t care how you feel
You’re just an animal and you’re their next meal
There’s no peace
I pray to God on my knees
The gates of hell are open, we can all feel that heat
I remember when everything changed
When technology went from an aid to the primary poison of all of our brains
We’ve been programmed to think that we need it, we slave and we worship it everyday
And in every way we’re becoming the robot they gave us and losing humanities way

[Chorus]
I see violence, oh (So much violence I see)
And I hear sirens, uh oh oh
No where to go, no where to run
They gave me the shot, they took away guns
Nothing to eat, we can’t go to sleep
We’re stuck in our homes, they’re flooding the streets
Everyone watching and glued to their screens
Misinformation like every week, apocalypse!

[Verse 2]
If you're a soldier stand up, ya know
Stay 10 toes, look 'em in the face, don’t don’t don’t you fold
They’re watching your moves, I hope that you know
People are dying because of religion
Selling sex, selling children
Genocides, waters rise, homicides, missing women
Rich got richer, what did they do?
Man they cut out the small business
Fake statistics, flood the streets with drugs and filled up all the prisons
They’re shifting the energy, you can’t see the enemy
God is returning, they don’t got to say it, the climates been telling me
From the way they’re abusing the teachings and pushing religion like it’s an accessory
Pick a side, it’s the dark or the light, in the scariest times that we’ve seen in a century

[Chorus]
I see violence, oh (So much violence I see)
And I hear sirens, uh oh oh
No where to go, no where to run
They gave me the shot, they took away guns
Nothing to eat, we can’t go to sleep
We’re stuck in our homes, they’re flooding the streets
Everyone watching and glued to their screens
Misinformation like every week, apocalypse!
[Outro]
Put ya' lighters up
Put ya' lighters up
Put ya' lighters up, apocalypse!

Genius Annotation

Dax’s “Apocalypse” is a song that is in fact apocalyptic, in the truest sense of the word. It features Dax detailing various ways in which the world – or at least where he resides – has become sort of a hell on earth.
For instance, in the chorus he notes constant police activity, meaning that there is also a high level crime. Then he has been given “the shot” and had his ‘guns taken away’.
Those statements, beyond being intended to be taken literally, actually point to Dax feeling as if his civil rights are being trampled upon. In other words, as of late conspiracy theorists always tend to gripe about the prospect of forced vaccinations, and it becoming unlawful for private citizens to own firearms.
Then Dax confronts the coronavirus or more specifically the lockdowns associated with it, by noting that he and others are “stuck in (their) home”. Then he apparently alludes to the types of frightening protests which were all over the news in 2020.
And even living in such a plugged-in society where all of this is available on the news, still “misinformation” is rampant.
So all of the above has him feeling, as indicated in the first verse, that the “end of the world… is close”.
