Apex
Confound the Mighty Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴
The mud and I have become one
Reign on my kingdom of filth
Divide through my disdain
The result of endless pain
I am apex hate
I hold you all at fault
You've unearthed myself undone
Now you shall understand with each spirit I crush
The power that I possess
I am merciless
I savor my misery, my nuclear core
It's all I have left, these things I abhor
I've become that which I sought to destroy
Seeing you share my pain is all that brings me joy
Taste my cold blood with each biting word
Delivered by a derelict conscience
I've embraced my relentless suffering
The void that swallows me
The air I breathe
My descent into madness enlightening
Deriving power from the depths of Tartarus
You're all pathetic
See the world as it is, a harvest floor for the damned
Brand me condemned
I'm not sorry for what I am
I am the dispossessed, deprived of any happiness
Anointed with cloven hooves
Immeasurable power with nothing to lose
Subject to a cruel fate
I AM APEX HATE
The lyrics to "Apex" by Confound the Mighty convey a deep sense of transformation and empowerment through pain and suffering. The opening lines describe the singer's physical and emotional fusion with the sludge, portraying a metamorphosis into a new, formidable entity. This symbolizes a rebirth of sorts, where the singer embraces their connection to darkness and filth, asserting their dominance as the epitome of hate - the apex.
The following verses delve into the singer's resentment towards humanity, viewing them as bloodthirsty and responsible for their own undoing. The lyrics suggest a narrative of revenge and retribution, with the singer reveling in their ability to crush spirits and wield merciless power. The mention of a "nuclear core" implies a core of intense emotional turmoil and anguish that fuels their actions, highlighting a destructive force unleashed upon those who have wronged them.
As the song progresses, the singer's enjoyment of their misery and the pain they inflict upon others becomes clearer. Their satisfaction in witnessing others share in their suffering underscores a twisted sense of joy derived from vindication and a desire for companionship in anguish. The imagery of tasting cold blood and wielding biting words reflects a cruel and unrelenting nature, demonstrating a willingness to inflict harm through words and actions.
The final verses further emphasize the singer's estrangement from humanity and embrace of their fate as the embodiment of hate and power. They express a sense of resignation to their identity as the dispossessed and scorned, finding strength in their darkness and rejection of conventional morality. The lyrics convey a defiance towards societal norms and a claim to their own agency, declaring themselves as the apex of hatred and suffering, a force to be reckoned with despite their isolation and anguish.

I don't get it... how can someone dislike this?!
Arturo Parra
Pure jealousy. I got a guy who thumbs down every video I upload ever since I told him his songs are generic with his 2007 metalcore riffs. And i did it nicely too but guess no one likes being told they need to put more work in to be a relevant artist....
Stephen Davies
