Fallen
A.P.E. Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

It's my life
And I have always done exactly what I wanted
What else can a dog do

It's not right
To take advantage of somebody who trusts you
Pendejo, yeah I'm talking to you
It's not every day
You meet somebody who believes in you
Stands by you
Without making demands on you

Just let me live
I just want to believe
Just let me do my thang
Come and get me

You cannot break me down
Say it again
You cannot break me down
Please believe me
Time is running out
Say it again
Your time is running out
Please believe
Ask not for whom the bell tolls
All your walls are closing in
Please believe
This house of flesh and blood has fallen

It's my life
And I'm a wild out
Until I bow out
Yes, I'm in this game
Until I foul out

It's not right
You always worried about what everybody's thinking
You worried they might figure you out

It's not every day
You go to work
Go to sleep
Get paid
In between
Get lifted
Get laid
Just let me live…

You cannot break me down
Say it again
You cannot break me down
Please believe me
Time is running out
Say it again
Your time is running out
Please believe
Ask not for whom the bell tolls
All your walls are closing in
Please believe
This house of flesh and blood has fallen

(Push it all away)
(Who the fuck are you?)
Move on…

You cannot break me down
Say it again
You cannot break me down
Please believe me
Time is running out
Say it again
Your time is running out
Please believe
Ask not for whom the bell tolls
All your walls are closing in
Please believe
This house of flesh and blood has fallen





It's my life…

Overall Meaning

The singer emphasizes that they have always done what they wanted, and that nobody can break them down or influence the decisions that they make. This is shown in the first line of the song, "It's my life, and I have always done exactly what I wanted. What else can a dog do?"

The song also highlights the importance of having someone who believes in you and supports you unconditionally. The singer acknowledges that it's not every day you meet somebody who stands by you without making demands on you.
