Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And that's just the way it is
But we can harmonize
Even if we sound like shit
Don't try to criticize
You bitches better plead the fifth
We've been idolized
Role models for all the kids
You heard us before but that was just a little sample
We're back for more here to set a worse example
Chop it up white stuff let's begin
Big wolves linin' up and scorin' little pigs
Still drunk and we're doin' it again
With a huff and a puff I'm blowin' birds on your shit
Learn it out pitch black grin still white skin
You know I'm hard to kill but real I'm movin' in
I'm puttin' twenty two down while I'm pukin' up blood
You know I'm here to stay well fuck I'm gonna die young
Yo my posse's gettin' big and my posse's gettin' bigger
It's one eighty eight minus one you know the figure.
We don't apologize
And that's just the way it is
But we can harmonize
Even if we sound like shit
Don't try to criticize
You bitches better plead the fifth
We've been idolized
Role models for all the kids.
It's easy to be drunk when it's hard to be sober
I'ma steal your leased rover and pull police over
I'm a mean smoker who reaks of weed odor
Certified street soldier devil on your teens shoulder
Don't invite Scene over he pee's at sleep overs
He asked your sister out so that he could cheat on her
What a creep loner, shit I couldn't sink lower
You just got a mean boner from a Charlie Scene poster
If I'm poppin' a wheelie it means I'm jackin' your bike
Got my middle finger raised as I'm runnin' red lights
I'm known to punch 'em in the dick at the end of a fight
And I never say I'm sorry at the end of the night.
We don't apologize
And that's just the way it is
But we can harmonize
Even if we sound like shit
Don't try to criticize
You bitches better plead the fifth
We've been idolized
Role models for all the kids.
So many dollars stuffed in my wallet
Chain so bling yeah you know that I'm a baller
We can take the blame cause your parents don't wanna
They roll their blunts with your marijuana
How can I run when the pigs got a chopper
I got a gun but they got a lotta
Shootin' at the sky with a mother fuckin' sawed off
God bless a Catholic forgive me father
Now what's a man to do when another holds a Bible
A lot of kids suein me holdin' me liable
Reflections of a kid and they call him suicidal
Dead beat such a sinner but we call him a child
How can you blame him a play ground they're dealin'
The mother still buyin' and the father still preachin'
And now it's up to me cause no one's gonna teach him
Now nobody, nobody needs 'em.
We don't apologize
And that's just the way it is
But we can harmonize
Even if we sound like shit
Don't try to criticize
You bitches better plead the fifth
We've been idolized
Role models for all the kids.
(for all the kids)
The lyrics of Hollywood Undead's song "Apologize" are a reflection of the band's attitude towards life. The first two lines of the chorus, "We don't apologize, And that's just the way it is", show their unapologetic and rebellious nature. They don't feel the need to apologize for their behavior or language, and they believe that people should accept them the way they are. However, they also acknowledge that their music may not be perfect, and in the next line, they say, "But we can harmonize, Even if we sound like shit", meaning that they may not have the best harmonies, but they can still create something unique.
The verses talk about various topics like drug use, violence, and inappropriate behavior. They showcase a "devil-may-care" attitude, where they are not afraid to push boundaries and be politically incorrect. They also highlight their popularity and influence on younger generations, referring to themselves as "role models for all the kids". The lyrics suggest that they have a love for life but are aware of its dark side and chaos, shown in phrases like "Still drunk and we're doin' it again, With a huff and a puff I'm blowin' birds on your shit", further emphasizing their nonchalant and carefree nature.
Overall, "Apologize" is a song about rebellion, defiance, and living life on their own terms, no matter what others may say or think.

Shootin' at the sky with a mother fuckin' sawed off
I am recklessly firing a large shotgun without concern for any potential harm or injury
God bless a Catholic forgive me father
I acknowledge that my behavior may be sinful or offensive to others, but also ask for forgiveness and mercy
Now what's a man to do when another holds a Bible
When someone tries to use religion or morality to judge or condemn others, it's difficult to know how to react or respond
A lot of kids suein me holdin' me liable
Many younger individuals are taking legal action against me, since they hold me accountable for my actions and influence
Reflections of a kid and they call him suicidal
Image or branding can significantly impact how people perceive and label someone, even if it's incorrect or unfair
Dead beat such a sinner but we call him a child
Despite someone's negative or problematic behavior, it's easier to label and categorize them as innocent and youthful
How can you blame him a play ground they're dealin'
We cannot hold younger individuals entirely responsible for their mistakes or behavior, since adults and society also play a role in shaping their attitudes and actions
The mother still buyin' and the father still preachin'
Despite any negative behavior or influence, it's difficult for a parent to stop loving and supporting their child, and a religious or moral authority figure may refuse to acknowledge or confront any issues
And now it's up to me cause no one's gonna teach him
In the absence of proper guidance or influence, individuals may have to take responsibility for their own actions and choices
Now nobody, nobody needs 'em.
The individual who was once looked up to or idolized is now alone and without support or guidance

Words cannot express how much this song means to me. It has gotten me through the hardest of times and has aided in my healing journey.
Trigger warning drugs overdose death Alcoholism
My mother was an addict and I pretty much took care of her as a kid because if she wasn't missing she was too high to function. She finally sobered up in 2016 and I felt like I Finally had a mother, but she died January 2020 and there was so much left unsaid. This song helped me make peace with that part of my past, the part where my mom was too high to know i existed.
Ive seen my friends corpse, overdosed, he been laying there for a while he was so stiff... still... it still haunts me walking in and finding him like that. I've seen my friends overdose on multiple occasions as have I.
October of last year my friend overdosed in my kitchen. I was trying to help him, in his journey for sobriety, you know service like they preach in AA? Plus he was my friend I wanted to help.
He was such a good dude, and he was doing good until his cousin died of overdose. That night he refused to talk to me, I knew he was upset who wouldn't be? I said I'm here if you need to talk about it. He said no he had to be strong for his fam. He went into the bed room and I assumed he went to bed.
Next thing I know I wake up in the morning to him overdosing on my kitchen floor. I called 911 and they brought him back but it really broke my heart, he felt like a bro to me. He overdosed on ice. He promised he wouldn't bring it in my house. He was a sweetheart though, good person, but the drugs....well you know..
I'm 15 years sober from Coke and speed. Right now I'm battling Alcoholism. I was recently released from the hospital from an unalive attempt and Alcohol withdrawal.
I'm a chronic binge drinker now, I'll drink till I piss blood or even drink myself to death if no one stops me. I don't want to be this way, I've been through detox more than once from drinking myself to the point of no return.
Something just takes over me even tho I'm involved in AA and other programs I still relapse. But this song soothes my soul, it reminds me why I need to fight for sobriety.
This is my all time favorite song and even music video. The visuals are so appealingas well.. just brilliant
Keep on making music.
