Apex
NOISEMAKER Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Stand in front yeah
Easy bluff yeah
Collapsing down
Collapsing down yeah

Without a doubt they want me dead
While safe inside, sick in the head
Words from a tube I’m force fed
Why not shut the fuck up Yeah

How could I pull the trigger with tied up fingers
People judge people like we are not all sinners
In the mirror
Face what you are
Never be a winner waiting for your one shot

Stand my ground yeah
Hear the sound yeah
Calling down
Calling down yeah

It’s calling out to me the Apex
I’m crawling in a nightmare
I've been waiting for the
Make it, break it, find it, lose it,
Every chance I get is wasted up
Apex
Will I ever see the last step?

揺れる日々 ただ
遠く 脆く 孤独 灯す 

I got nothing but to keep face up
We’re getting closer, we’re closer

測り合う 価値 外す足並み
草臥れてく あの街並み
It’s like losing your mind under pressure
I won’t give a reaction no more

I step off the beaten path you couldn’t do it
I’m busted and broken but I'll beat you to it
In the mirror
It’s all clearer
Going up cause going down is way steeper

Stand my ground yeah
Hear the sound yeah
Calling down
Calling down yeah

It’s calling out to me the Apex
I’m crawling in a nightmare
I've been waiting for the
Make it, break it, find it, lose it,
Every chance I get is wasted up
Apex
Will I ever see the last step?
揺れる日々 ただ
遠く 脆く 孤独 灯す 
I got nothing but to keep face up
We’re getting closer, we’re closer

枯れては 赤く 染まる
その目に
歪んでく 未来 
増してく 速さに 眩む 焦り
消えかける all the lights
How much more of this can my knees take?
不確かな 形 ありのまま 手に
もがく 命 どこへ
Yeah I know where I'm going

I’m going up to the Apex
I’m crawling in a nightmare
I've been waiting for the
Make it, break it, find it, lose it,
Every chance I get is wasted up
Apex
Will I ever see the last step?
明ける 日々 今
残す  昇る 灯す 届く




I got nothing but to keep face up
We’re getting closer, we’re closer

Overall Meaning

The song "Apex" by NOISEMAKER explores themes of resilience, determination, and the struggle to overcome obstacles in life. The lyrics depict a sense of standing one's ground and facing challenges head-on, despite feeling overwhelmed or trapped.


The opening lines of the song suggest a facade or a bluff, depicting a situation where the singer is putting on a brave face while experiencing a collapse internally. This could represent a person putting on a strong front while feeling vulnerable or threatened.


The next lines allude to the singer being targeted by others, who want them dead metaphorically or perhaps even physically. The mention of being safe inside but "sick in the head" suggests that while the singer may appear fine on the outside, they are struggling mentally. The reference to being force-fed words from a tube suggests a sense of being manipulated or controlled by outside influences, possibly representing societal pressures or expectations.


The lyrics then touch upon the struggle of judgment and the idea that people are quick to criticize others without acknowledging their own flaws. The line "How could I pull the trigger with tied up fingers" reflects a sense of being unable to take action or assert oneself due to external constraints or circumstances. The mention of sinners highlights the idea that everyone is flawed, and yet people are still judged harshly.


The chorus speaks about hearing a call, referred to as the Apex, which could represent a moment or opportunity for greatness or achievement. However, the singer feels trapped within a nightmare and wonders if they will ever reach the final step or fulfill their potential. The mention of wasting chances suggests a fear of missed opportunities and a desire to make the most of them.


The Japanese lines in the song add another layer of emotion and reflection. They describe the fragility of life and the feeling of loneliness, symbolized by a distant and delicate light. The singer acknowledges the challenges they face but resolves to keep their composure and face adversity head-on.


The verses continue to emphasize determination and resilience. The singer talks about stepping off the beaten path and being willing to take risks, even though they may be broken or battered. The mention of the mirror represents self-reflection and clarity, where the singer realizes that going up is better than going down, as it provides a sense of progress, even if it is challenging.


The second chorus repeats the idea of the call to the Apex, the sense of being trapped in a nightmare, and the longing for a chance to make a breakthrough. The Japanese lines refer to the fluctuating nature of life and the temptation to give in to panic and pressure. The singer mentions the struggle to maintain hope amidst fading lights and physical exhaustion, questioning how much more they can endure.


Finally, the song concludes with a determined statement of knowing where the singer is going, suggesting a sense of clarity and purpose. They affirm their intent to keep pushing upwards towards the Apex, despite the challenges and uncertainty they may face. The closing lines express a sense of hope and progress, with the belief that with each passing day, they are getting closer to their goals.

APEXは正にこの状況下でのこと。
バンドマンもそうですが、それに関わる人達やこの業界だけではなく他の業種やそれぞれの人生、日常のリアルな声を聞いて感じたことです。
補償もままならないまま
お願いという名の社会的圧力で
偽りの自由を見た時に
"手を縛られたままどうやって引き金を引けというんだ"と
まるで手を縛ったまま銃を持たされて戦場で戦えと言われてる様な絵が浮かびました。
そしてそれぞれが必死に守ろうとしてるものは、誰かにとっては些細なことで、誰かにとってはそれが人生そのものでもあります。
他の言葉でも色々紐解いてみて下さい。
ここでの頂点は、
それぞれの夢や辿り着きたかった場所や目標、日常や大切にしてきた物です。今の状況の中で、何かを諦めかけたり、手放してしまいそうな人がこの曲を聴いて、もう一度踏ん張ってみようと思ってもらえたら嬉しいです。NOISEMAKERも手放しません、あなたと頂点へ行くまでは。
新しい音と言葉、楽しんで!
