All apologies
Aston Villa Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
All apologies
What else should I say
Everyone is gay
What else could I write
I don't have the right
What else should I be
All apologies
In the sun
In the sun I feel as one
In the sun
In the sun
I'm married
Buried
Buried
I wish I was like you
Easily amused
Find my nest of salt
Everything's my fault
I'll take all the blame
Aqua sea-foam shame
Sunburn with freezer-burn
Choking on the ashes of her enemy
In the sun
In the sun I feel as one
In the sun
In the sun
I'm married
Buried
Buried
The lyrics to Aston Villa's song "All Apologies" are taken from Nirvana's 1993 hit song of the same name. The lyrics are introspective and melancholic, with the singer expressing regret and self-doubt. The opening lines, "What else should I be/All apologies," suggest that the singer is trying to conform to societal expectations, but doesn't feel like they fit in.
The second verse, "I wish I was like you/Easily amused," speaks to the singer's envy for those who seem to be able to enjoy life more easily. The line "Find my nest of salt" could be interpreted as the singer searching for a safe haven or comfort in something bitter or painful. The third verse, "Aqua sea-foam shame/Sunburn with freezer-burn/Choking on the ashes of her enemy," is more abstract, but could refer to feeling shame or guilt, physical discomfort, and possibly holding onto resentment or anger.
The chorus, "In the sun/I feel as one," seems to provide a glimmer of hope or relief for the singer. It's possible that being in the sun represents a moment of warmth or clarity that helps the singer feel connected to something beyond themselves. The final line, "I'm married/Buried/Buried," could be interpreted as the singer feeling tied down or trapped, perhaps by their own inner struggles.
