Apocalypse
Arno Cost feat. Norman Doray Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You act like you won't listen, when I'm talking to you
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 I'm payin' the bills, I'm payin' the cost to be the boss
I drink if I wanna, and play a little poker too
I don't wanna hear nothing from your long as I'm takin' care of you
Long as I'm workin' baby, payin' all the bills
I don't want no mouth from you 'bout the way I'm supposed to live
You must be crazy baby, ooh you gotta be out of your mind
As long as I'm puttin' the bill, I'm payin' the cost to be the boss
Now that you got me, honey, you act like you're a shame
You don't act like my man, you're just choosin' my name
I'm gonna have all the money, baby, I don't want no bad talk
If you don't like how I'm 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 I'm payin' the bill, I'm payin' the cost to be the boss

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to "Apocalypse" by Arno Cost feat. Norman Doray describe a relationship where one person has more power and control than the other. The singer is frustrated with their partner's behavior, as they act as if they don't need to listen to them and can do whatever they want. The singer asserts their dominance over their partner by reminding them that they are the one paying the bills and providing for them. This dynamic is further emphasized by the lines "I don't wanna hear nothing from your long as I'm takin' care of you" and "Long as I'm workin' baby, payin' all the bills/I don't want no mouth from you 'bout the way I'm supposed to live." The person with the power is portrayed as uncompromising and unwilling to listen to their partner's opinions or desires.


As the song goes on, the singer becomes more confident and aggressive, asserting their control over their partner even more. They talk about drinking and playing poker whenever they want, and warn their partner not to "bad talk" them or they'll leave. The phrase "paying the cost to be the boss" is repeated throughout the song, emphasizing the power dynamic in the relationship. The final lines, "Now that you got me, honey, you act like you're a shame/You don't act like my man, you're just choosin' my name," suggest that the partner is no longer happy or satisfied with the situation and may be feeling trapped or exploited.


Overall, the lyrics to "Apocalypse" are a commentary on power dynamics and control in relationships. The singer portrays a situation where one person has more power and control than the other, and uses that power to maintain a dominant position. The lyrics are confrontational and aggressive, suggesting that this is not a healthy or sustainable dynamic.
