Amba Shepherd Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
So I can understand
Fighting just to survive
But you taught me I can
We are the lucky ones
We are, we are
Oh we are the lucky ones
We are, we are
Just one day in the life
So I can understand
Fighting just to survive
But you taught me I can
We are the lucky ones
We are, we are
Oh we are the lucky ones
We are, we are
We are the lucky ones
We are, we are
Oh we are the lucky ones
We are, we are
The lyrics to "Apollo" by Hardwell featuring Amba Shepherd convey a message of gratitude and appreciation for the resiliency of the human spirit. The first verse begins with a wish for just one day in the life of someone who fights every day just to survive. The singer wants to gain a better understanding of that struggle and the strength it takes to persevere. However, the singer also acknowledges that they have been fortunate enough to not have to experience such hardships themselves. The chorus reinforces this sentiment by declaring "we are the lucky ones", and repeating the line "we are, we are" for emphasis.
Throughout the song, Amba Shepherd's powerful vocals are accompanied by a dynamic electronic beat that builds in intensity. This sense of aspiration is mirrored in the lyrics. The idea is that the struggles of the less fortunate can inspire those who have been luckier to be better, to learn from their experiences, and to appreciate what they have. While the song has been interpreted in different ways by listeners, the main message is one of humility and empathy.
