Trash
Apoptygma Berzerk猀 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The tasteless bracelets and the dye in our hair,
Maybe it's our kookiness,
Or maybe, maybe it's our nowhere towns,
Our nothing places and our cellophane sounds,
Maybe it's our looseness,
But we're trash, you and me,
We're the lovers on the streets,
Just trash, me and you,
It's in everything we do,
It's in everything we do...
Maybe, maybe it's the things we say,
The words we1ve heard and the music we play,
Maybe it's our cheapness,
Or maybe, maybe it's the times we1ve had,
The lazy days and the crazes and the fads,
Maybe it's our sweetness,
But we're trash, you and me,
We're the litter on the breeze,
We're the lovers on the streets,
Just trash, me and you,
It's in everything we do,
It's in everything we do.
But we're trash, you and me,
We're the lovers on the streets,
We're the litter on the breeze,
Just trash, me and you,
It's in everything we do,
It's in everything we do...
The lyrics to Apoptygma Berzerk’s song “Trash” can be seen as an exploration of the idea of being an outsider or misfit. The first verse describes a sense of being different from the norm, whether it’s in the way one dresses or in the boring, nondescript surroundings they come from. The second verse builds on this by adding the idea that perhaps it’s the things they say or the music they listen to that marks them as different. The repeated refrain “we’re trash, you and me” reinforces the idea of being marginalized or cast aside by mainstream society.
But despite these feelings of alienation, the song also celebrates this identity as “trash” and embraces the freedom that comes with it. The chorus suggests that this “trash” identity is something that permeates every aspect of the singer’s life, from their clothing to their relationships. However, rather than seeing this as a negative thing, the song invites the listener to revel in their outsider status and take pride in being part of this underclass.
Overall, “Trash” can be read as a call to arms for those who feel outside of dominant culture, urging them to embrace their differences rather than trying to fit in. The song’s upbeat tempo and catchy melody further reinforce this sense of joy in being different.

Maybe, maybe it's the clothes we wear
Perhaps our fashion sense is to blame
The tasteless bracelets and the dye in our hair
Our accessories and hair color may be unappealing
Maybe it's our kookiness
Our quirky behavior could be the cause
Or maybe, maybe it's our nowhere towns
Perhaps our lack of cultural stimulation due to living in small towns is the issue
Our nothing places and our cellophane sounds
The blandness of our surroundings and the unoriginality of our music choice might be the problem
Maybe it's our looseness
Our carefree attitude might be to blame
But we're trash, you and me
Despite the causes, we are both seen as worthless or of low value
We're the litter on the breeze
We are like garbage, blown about aimlessly
We're the lovers on the streets
We are seen as promiscuous or lacking morals
Just trash, me and you
Once again emphasizing our low value
It's in everything we do
Our worthlessness is reflected in all aspects of our lives
Maybe, maybe it's the things we say
Perhaps the words we use are the culprit
The words we've heard and the music we play
Our choice of language and music may contribute to the negative perception
Maybe it's our cheapness
Our lack of monetary value or worth might be the issue
Or maybe, maybe it's the times we've had
Perhaps our past experiences are to blame
The lazy days and the crazes and the fads
Our tendency to be lazy and to follow trends may be the problem
Maybe it's our sweetness
Ironically, even our positive attributes are seen as worthless
But we're trash, you and me
Reiterating once again our low value
It's in everything we do
Our lack of worth is always evident
We're the lovers on the streets
Once again highlighting our perceived immorality
We're the litter on the breeze
Continuing the metaphor of being like garbage, with no sense of direction
Just trash, me and you
A final statement driving home the point of our worthlessness
It's in everything we do
Our lack of value permeates every aspect of our lives
