Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You think you oughta do baby, anything you wanna do
You must be crazy baby, you just gotta be out of your mind
As long as Iβ²m payin' the bills, I'm payinβ² the cost to be the boss
I drink if I wanna, and play a little poker too
I donβ²t wanna hear nothing from your long as I'm takinβ² care of you
Long as I'm workinβ² baby, payin' all the bills
I donβ²t want no mouth from you 'bout the way I'm supposed to live
As long as Iβ²m puttinβ² the bill, I'm payinβ² the cost to be the boss
Now that you got me, honey, you act like you're a shame
You donβ²t act like my man, you're just choosinβ² my name
I'm gonna have all the money, baby, I don't want no bad talk
If you donβ²t like how Iβ²m doin', you can pick up your things and walk
You must be crazy baby, you just gotta be out of your mind
As long as Iβ²m payin' the bill, Iβ²m payin' the cost to be the boss
The lyrics to Arno Cost & Norman Doray's "Apocalypse" speak to a power dynamic between two people in a relationship. The singer is frustrated with their partner, who acts as if they are not listening, and believes they have the freedom to do whatever they want, regardless of the singer's feelings or opinions. The singer asserts their dominance, stating that as long as they are the one paying the bills, they are the one in charge.
The singer goes on to explain that they will do what they want, including drinking and playing poker, without any interference from their partner. They do not want to hear any complaints about how they live their life, so long as they are the one taking care of their partner. The line, "Long as I'm workin' baby, payin' all the bills, I donβt want no mouth from you 'bout the way I'm supposed to live" illustrates this point.
The final stanza suggests a shift in power, with the singer becoming more dominant in the relationship. They declare that they will have all the money and will not tolerate any negative talk from their partner. If their partner does not like how they are being treated, they can leave. The singer is confident in their power and is determined to assert themselves.
Overall, the lyrics of "Apocalypse" deal with themes of power, control, and dominance in relationships.
