Before their unfortunate demise, Apocalypse Hoboken toured with the likes of The Vandals, The Ataris, Ten Foot Pole, Less Than Jake, Swingin' Utters, Agent Orange, Guttermouth, Strung Out, Bigwig, Suicide Machines, At the Drive In, Murder City Devils, and appeared on West Coast dates of the Warped Tour.
Their last show in 2003 sold out Chicago's Metro, and though they haven't recorded a shred of new music in five years, demand for their live act has never been greater. A reunion at the Abbey Pub with all-original members promises to be a highlight of 2006.

Space Glaze
Apocalypse Hoboken Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You just stay away
Don't try to get one on me
Ain't got a damn thing to say
You just fucking try me
I'll put you away
Space glaze try to try me
You'll never see the light of day
You're everybody's whore
Snow White is not your game and
I don't want anymore
Shooting rockets in the middle of the winter
Through a girl with no name or face to save
She got a bad motherfucker
Who took her down and dunked her
Then left her in a ditch with no one to blame
The song "Space Glaze" by Apocalypse Hoboken is a punk rock anthem that speaks to resistance against toxic relationships and the powers that seek to control and harm us. The opening lines, "You don't fucking touch me/You just stay away/Don't try to get one on me/Ain't got a damn thing to say" express a clear unwillingness to engage with someone who is trying to manipulate or harm the singer. The repeated refrain of "Space glaze try to try me/You'll never see the light of day" reinforces this sentiment, conveying a sense of strength and resilience in the face of adversity.
The lyrics also contain a scathing critique of patriarchal norms and gender inequality, with lines like "You're not my kind of girl/You're everybody's whore" and "Snow White is not your game and/I don't want anymore." These lyrics expose the ways in which women are often objectified and demeaned in our culture, and reject the notion that a woman's worth or value is tied to her sexual desirability or ability to conform to conventional beauty standards.
Overall, "Space Glaze" is a powerful example of punk rock's ability to critique and challenge social norms and injustices, while expressing a sense of defiance and resistance.
Line by Line Meaning
You don't fucking touch me
Don't bother making any physical contact with me
You just stay away
Keep your distance from me
Don't try to get one on me
Don't attempt to deceive me
Ain't got a damn thing to say
I have nothing worth expressing
You just fucking try me
If you test me, there will be consequences
I'll put you away
I'll make sure you suffer the consequences of your actions
Space glaze try to try me
Even those who claim to be on another planet won't succeed in challenging me
You'll never see the light of day
You'll never return to your normal life after challenging me
You're not my kind of girl
You don't meet my expectations of a desirable partner
You're everybody's whore
You've openly engaged in promiscuous behavior
Snow White is not your game and
You're not the innocent, pure character from the fairy tale
I don't want anymore
I have no interest in pursuing anything further with you
Shooting rockets in the middle of the winter
Engaging in reckless behavior during a harsh season
Through a girl with no name or face to save
Endangering someone who has no identity or significance to me
She got a bad motherfucker
She encountered someone who's aggressive and ruthless
Who took her down and dunked her
The person brutally attacked her and left her submerged
Then left her in a ditch with no one to blame
The perpetrator left her to die in an anonymous location with no accountability
