Arcadia
Apparat_feat.Tom_York Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I could go further and no one's surprised
Your plans collapse, run off or fall apart
Your plans collapse, run off or fall apart
What's the point of waiting for life to come
I could go further and no one's surprised
Your plans collapse, run off or fall apart
The song "Arcadia" by Apparat featuring Raz Ohara is a melancholic reflection on the futility of waiting for life to unfold as planned. The opening line "What's the point of waiting for life to come" conveys a sense of impatience and frustration with the inevitability of disappointment. The repetition of the lines "I could go further and no one's surprised" and "Your plans collapse, run off or fall apart" further emphasize the theme of disillusionment with one's aspirations and their unfulfilled outcomes.
The title "Arcadia" alludes to a utopian ideal of a pastoral paradise that once existed in Ancient Greece. The contrast between this idyllic vision and the bleak reality of the song's lyrics captures the disconnect between the hopefulness of youth and the harshness of adult life. The somber electronic beats and whispered vocals of Raz Ohara amplify the sense of isolation and resignation that permeates the song.
Overall, "Arcadia" is a poignant reminder of the fragility of our dreams and the impermanence of our plans. The song urges us to confront our fears and take action, rather than waiting passively for life to unfold on its own terms.
