Candil De La Calle
Apparat Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It's getting cold
I've been worn out by the night
But I can't let go
The sounds in my ears explain
I've been here too long
A freedom hard to maintain
Long have I waited here
For nothing to come
A sequence of twisted turns
That can't be undone
They're paying your rent,
They're feeding your kids
But it's taking much more
Than pleasing your needs
Saw the water rising,
On a beautiful day
A flood only washing the ones away
Who were lying in the sun
And you're still where you begun
[Repeat x2]
Long have I waited here
For nothing to come
A sequence of twisted turns
That can't be undone
And you hurt yourself trying [x8]
The lyrics of Apparat's song Candil De La Calle are an emotional and poignant portrayal of feelings of hopelessness and despair. The first verse describes the singer's sense of being trapped in a situation that is getting colder and more difficult. Despite wanting to let go, the singer is unable to do so. The second verse speaks of the singer's realization of having been in this situation for too long, with a freedom that is hard to maintain. The singer feels as though they should have left a long time ago.
The chorus, which repeats twice, emphasizes the singer's sense of waiting for something that will never come. This waiting is described as a sequence of twisted turns that cannot be undone. The bridge brings a new perspective, discussing the sacrifice that individuals make to provide for their families, often at the cost of their own well-being. The metaphor of a flood washing away those who are lying in the sun is a powerful commentary on the unequal distribution of resources in society.
Overall, Candil De La Calle is a deeply affecting song, with lyrics that put into words the feelings of those who are stuck in difficult situations. It speaks of the sacrifices that individuals make for their families and the futility of waiting for a change that may never come.

Down in the blinding light
Amidst the overwhelming brightness
It's getting cold
Emotionally feeling drained
I've been worn out by the night
Fatigued by the experiences of the past
But I can't let go
Unable to move on from the past
The sounds in my ears explain
The noises around me suggest
I've been here too long
I have stayed in this situation too much time
A freedom hard to maintain
It's difficult to keep this sense of freedom
I should be gone
I must leave this situation behind
Long have I waited here
I've spent much time waiting in this place
For nothing to come
Expecting something to happen, but it never does
A sequence of twisted turns
A complex chain of events
That can't be undone
Impossible to reverse
They're paying your rent,
Someone is providing your basic needs
They're feeding your kids
Also taking care of your children
But it's taking much more
It's causing more issues and harming you
Than pleasing your needs
It's not worth it despite fulfilling your necessities
Saw the water rising,
Observed the water level start increasing
On a beautiful day
Although the weather seemed great
A flood only washing the ones away
A catastrophic event that destroys certain individuals
Who were lying in the sun
People enjoying a peaceful moment, but suddenly negatively impacted
And you're still where you begun
Having never moved on from your starting point
And you hurt yourself trying [x8]
Despite the pain from continuing, you keep pushing forward
Long have I waited here
I've spent much time waiting in this place
For nothing to come
Expecting something to happen, but it never does
A sequence of twisted turns
A complex chain of events
That can't be undone
Impossible to reverse

It is genious how they turn electronical dance music into a live performance band. Using various effects such as delay and reverbs, great thoughts and high creativity.
@bloodxshedx
Everyone is possible to accomplish that if they really want it that way. Besides it is something that comes to you as second nature, you really have to feel every beat and sound you produce so it can become a wonderful piece of art

just saw them in Guadalajara, Mexico a couple of weeks ago... no alcohol, no drugs, still, their music took me to an incredible trip

I get the best feeling in the world when I see a live version of a song is even better than the album version. And this song goes to top 3 on that special list! Amaaaaazing!

My favorite artist, period. His music has gotten me through every bad phase I've been through. Such deep, intricate, personal, and always beautiful work. <3

This song is a mixture of emotions for me from sadness, happiness, melancholy, nostalgia and even throwing the towel in.
