Apples
Cabaret Runaway Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

We all live in a world born rotten.
People must be judged.
Grabbed my notebook, laid down ailments. Sinners be undone.

This demon binds me,
Justice guides me from heaven nor from hell.
Names and faces utilize me.
The darkest hearts shall swell.

Can't you see this is eternity's manifest destiny?
All shall bleed for those who live to derail their morbid prophecy.
And if you'd think to oppose
Bring them thoughts to a close.
I am your god.

Justice, I am justice.
I am the god of the new world.
Saving it from evil, ridding it of fear.
Those who betray god are the ones that are truly evil.

Can't you see this is eternity's manifest destiny?
All shall bleed for those who live to derail their morbid prophecy.
And if you'd think to oppose
Bring them thoughts to a close.
I am your god.

Can't you just see this is eternity's manifest destiny?

Can't you see this is eternity's manifest destiny?
All shall bleed for those who live to derail their morbid prophecy.
And if you'd think to oppose
Bring them thoughts to a close.
And if you'd think to oppose




Bring them thoughts to a close.
I am your god.

Overall Meaning

The Cabaret Runaway's song "Apples" can be interpreted as an exploration of morality, justice and power. The lyrics suggest that the world we live in is inherently flawed or "born rotten". The singer seems to see themselves as an agent of justice, a god-like figure who judges and punishes sinners. They claim that they are guided by justice itself, rather than by any heavenly or hellish forces.


The line "Names and faces utilize me" suggests that the singer is used by others to carry out their will or to exact revenge. The song also touches on the idea of destiny or fate, referring to "eternity's manifest destiny" and the idea that all must bleed for those who live to derail their morbid prophecy. The use of religious language and themes throughout the song suggests that the singer sees themselves as a kind of divine figure or messenger.


The final lines of the song, "I am your god" are particularly striking, suggesting that the singer is addressing the listener directly and perhaps even urging them to follow in their footsteps. It can be interpreted as a warning against those who would betray their god or work against the greater good.

It kind of sounds like a darker indie form of math rock, and it's so refreshing to see bands like these, I think revival records is going to turn out a lot of good bands for the future :)
