Apologize
♫ Kris Allen Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm hearin' what you saying but I just can't make a sound
You tell me that you need me
Then you go and cut me down, but wait
Tell me that you're sorry
Didn't think I'd turn around and say that
It's too late to apologize, it's too late
I'd take another chance, take a fall, take a shot for you
And I need you like a heart needs a beat, it's nothin' new
I loved you with a fire red, now it's turnin' blue and you say
Sorry like the angel, heaven let me think was you but I'm afraid
It's too late to apologize, it's too late
I said it's too late to apologize, it's too late
It's too late to apologize, it's too late
I said it's too late to apologize, it's too late
It's too late to apologize, it's too late
I said it's too late to apologize
I'm holdin' on your rope, got me ten feet off the ground
The lyrics of "Apologize" by Kris Allen depict a toxic relationship where one partner continuously hurts the other and apologizes too late. The repetition of the line, "It's too late to apologize," highlights the frustration and pain that the singer feels as they finally realize that the other person will never truly change.
The first verse of the song sets the scene of the singer being held hostage by their partner's manipulations. While the singer hears what their partner is saying, they feel unable to speak up and defend themselves. The second verse highlights the singer's desperation to fix the relationship and their willingness to take another chance, but ultimately realizing that it's too late because their partner has caused too much damage.
The chorus is the most impactful part of the song, with the phrase "It's too late to apologize" being repeated several times. This emphasizes the fact that sometimes apologies aren't enough, especially when they come too late. The singer has reached a breaking point in the relationship, and there's no going back.
Overall, "Apologize" is a powerful and emotional song that speaks to anyone who has been in a toxic relationship. It's a reminder that sometimes you need to let go, even if it hurts.

I'm holdin' on your rope, got me ten feet off the ground
I feel completely dependent on you and I'm in an unstable position because of it.
I'm hearin' what you saying but I just can't make a sound
I understand your words but I feel helpless and can't respond.
You tell me that you need me
Then you go and cut me down, but wait
You say you want me but then you hurt me, leaving me confused and hurt.
Tell me that you're sorry
Didn't think I'd turn around and say that
Admit your wrongdoing and understand that I have the strength to confront you.
It's too late to apologize, it's too late
I said it's too late to apologize, it's too late
Your apologies now are meaningless, as the damage has already been done and cannot be undone.
I'd take another chance, take a fall, take a shot for you
And I need you like a heart needs a beat, it's nothin' new
I would do anything for you and I love you deeply, but these words have lost their power and meaning because of your actions.
I loved you with a fire red, now it's turnin' blue and you say
Sorry like the angel, heaven let me think was you but I'm afraid
I used to love you passionately but now my love is fading, and even though you apologize in a way that is angelic, it doesn't ease my fears and doubts.

Interestingly, in the trick, 8649 is a multiple of 9 which means that any multiple of it will also be a multiple of 9. The test for divisibility for nine is that all the digits added will still give a multiple of 9 if done recursively and so we can just add the remainders with 9. (ie. 81(8+1) , 8649 ( 8+6+4+9 = 27, 2+7 = 9) . We don't have to even go this far in addition. We can keep subtracting 9 as the sum becomes greater than 9 and that's all he does with his showmanship of course, eg.
He took 8649 because it was convenient,
(he says six digits in "any order" because the order of the sum of the digits hardly matters. A middle school student knows this.
person 1 -1,9,7,0,4,0 - (find the sum subtracting 9 every time the sum exceeds 9 and you get 3 - so the number to be added to this to reach 9 would be 6 and that's what he says.
person 2 - 4,4,8,7,5,2 - circular sum = 3 therefore answer = 6
Person 3 - 0,7,9,0,4,4 - circular sum = 6 . Ans = 3
Person 4 - 2,6,3,9,7,2 - circular sum = 2. Ans = 7.
Loved the way he pulled off a middle school question with all that showmanship.

I was thinking the same thing. It was very suspenseful, like close soccer game.
I would watch mathematician competitions on TV, lol
