Apple of Sodom
Lost Highway Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I found the center of fruit is late
It is the center of truth today
Cut the apple in two
Oh, I pray it isn't true

I found the center of fruit is late
Is the center of truth today
I cut the apple in two

Oh, I pray it isn't true

I've got somethin' you can never eat
I've got somethin' you can never eat
I've got somethin' you can never eat
I've got somethin' you can never eat

I've drained my heart, I've burned my soul
I've trained the core to stop my growth
I pray to die in space
So come on me, it's now
So come on me, it's now
Come on me, it's now
(I'm dyin', I hope you're dyin' too)

Come on me, it's now
(I'm dyin', I hope you're dyin' too)
(I'm dyin', I hope you're dyin' too)
(I'm dyin', I hope you're dyin' too)
(I'm dyin', I hope you're dyin' too)
(I'm dyin', I hope you're dyin' too)
(I'm dyin', I hope you're dyin' too)
(I'm dyin', I hope you're dyin' too)

Take this from me
(Take me, take me)
Take this from me
(Take me, take me)

One, two, three
He is a speed bump mannequin
One, two, three
He can't move to stand still

One, two, three
He is a speed bump mannequin
One, two, three
He can't move to stand still

I've got somethin' you can never eat
I've got somethin' you can never eat

I've got somethin' you can never eat

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to "Apple of Sodom" by Lost Highway are complex and open to interpretation. The song seems to be focused on the idea of finding the truth and the danger that it might hold, as well as the idea of mortality and the desire for release from it. The first two stanzas set up the idea of cutting into an apple and praying that what is found inside is not true. This can be interpreted as a metaphor for discovering something unpleasant or even dangerous when seeking truth. The subsequent stanzas speak of burning one's soul, training oneself to stop growing or changing, and ultimately, the desire to die in space. The repeated lines "come on me, it's now" suggest a sense of urgency and a desire for release from the constraints of life. The song's final repetition of "I've got somethin' you can never eat" implies that this truth, whatever it might be, is something that cannot be consumed or easily digested.
