Apocalypse
Josh A Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
This world wide web
It's a big scary place
Where nobody ever wins
This machine don't kill fascists
But it sure does amplify
All the anger and hatred
Talking global economics
And one world religion
Artificial intelligence
Three dimension vision
They're talking 'bout war
And they argue about love
And nobody is listening
Everybody's speaking up
I'm exhausted of knowing about everything
No wonder everybody's gone insane
No one needs to know all the things that everybody thinks
All the time
They killed a man in public
And it won't be televised
But a funny little caption
Will be posted online
They say World War III is coming
It's knocking at your door
But you can buy a gun on Amazon
If you pay a little more
And the nuclear holocaust
Is ready to blow
And you can watch it all live
On a reality tv show
Just because we killed the planet
Doesn't mean we can't miss it
At least we won't be around
When the asteroid finally hits it
I'm exhausted of knowing about everything
No wonder everybody's gone insane
No one needs to know all the things that everybody thinks
All the time
They used to steal the land
But they learned to steal your mind
Sell your sanity on the internet
Just to make another dime
Wonder why you can't sleep
Scrolling doomsday in your bed
But there's an ad for special pills
Guaranteed to fix your head
Well the ocean is rising
And it's coming in a hurry
But you can keep yourself distracted
So that you won't have to worry
It'll be disappointing
When the world finally ends
The apocalypse is boring
Even through an iphone lens
I'm exhausted of knowing about everything
No wonder everybody's gone insane
No one needs to know all the things that everybody thinks
All the time
And I'm tired
In Josh A's song "Apocalypse," the lyrics tackle the overwhelming and chaotic nature of the world we live in, specifically focusing on the impact of technology and media. The song begins by highlighting the vastness of the internet, often perceived as a scary place, where people never truly win. It emphasizes how technology amplifies the anger and hatred within society, providing a platform for these negative emotions to thrive.
The lyrics touch on various global issues such as economics, religion, and artificial intelligence, illustrating the complex and interconnected nature of the world. However, despite these important discussions taking place, it seems that nobody is truly listening. The song questions the excessive exposure to information, expressing exhaustion from being bombarded with knowledge about everything.
The lyrics then delve into the disturbing reality of societal indifference and desensitization. It references the killing of a man that won't make it to televised news, but rather will be reduced to a mere online caption. The mention of World War III approaching and the ability to purchase guns online alludes to the ease with which violence can permeate society. The fear of nuclear holocaust is juxtaposed with the suggestion that people can watch it unfold as entertainment on a reality TV show.
Furthermore, the song reflects on the ways in which people's minds are being manipulated, detailing how land was once stolen but now minds are being stolen through the selling of sanity on the internet. The lyrics highlight the struggle to sleep when one is consumed by doomsday thoughts, yet there's always an advertisement promising a quick fix for mental health.
In the final verses, the song addresses the impending environmental crisis, emphasizing the rising ocean levels and imminent destruction. However, it is suggested that people can distract themselves from this impending doom and avoid worrying. The song concludes by stating that the apocalypse, even when witnessed through an iPhone lens, would be disappointing and monotonous.
Overall, "Apocalypse" critiques the overwhelming nature of the world and the negative impact of technology and media, urging listeners to be mindful of their consumption and the constant bombardment of information.

Even when viewed through the lens of a smartphone
And I'm tired
