Apprehension
P. Wilshire Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

9. APPREHENSION 04:51

Apprehension grips me
Deformed army
Apprehension grips me
Lie inert
Apprehension grips me in the shadow
What is happened to me ?

I see so clear
Each insectoid leg marches in unison
As smoothly as a black machine
The claw's sharp tips they moved aloft
And reached towards me in my shell
To shear the casing just to set me free
Apprehension grips me in unison
Apprehension grips me in my shell
Apprehension grips me shear the casing
What is happening to me ?
I am set free
Each insectoid leg maches in unison
As smoothly as a black machine
The claw's sharp tips they moved aloft
And reached towards me in my shell
To shear the casing just to set me free
Set me free...

Apprehension grips me...
Set me free...

Overall Meaning

The song "Apprehension" by P. Wilshire deals with the feelings of fear and anxiety that arise when one is faced with an unknown and potentially dangerous situation. The opening line "Apprehension grips me" sets the tone for the rest of the song and establishes the pervasive sense of unease that pervades the lyrics. The use of the word "deformed" to describe the army that grips the singer with apprehension suggests that the source of the danger may be otherworldly or supernatural in nature.

The repetition of the phrase "each insectoid leg marches in unison" underscores the robotic, almost insect-like quality of the danger that the singer faces. This imagery is reinforced by the reference to "claw's sharp tips" that move "aloft" and threaten to "shear the casing" that encases the singer. The repeated refrain "apprehension grips me" serves to emphasize the singer's terror in the face of these dangers.

Overall, the song can be interpreted as a metaphor for the fear that can grip us when faced with an unknown or unpredictable situation. The imagery of insectoid legs and sharp claws suggests a primal, almost animalistic danger that feels unstoppable and overwhelming.

@humpteedumptee You mean her pimp does? Or her dealer? You realize that she has nothing right? I've known girls who were working the streets, and they often live in cheap motel rooms with a handful of things that they own. And even those things they lose at least once a year.
A girl I know was held captive in a hotel room for a month as a literal sex slave, and when he moved her in the car to Baltimore she escaped. I didn't even believe her, but I found the newspaper article with her name and his.
They get killed often too. You hear the pimp say that they don't take dates with certain dudes? How you think someone's gonna react being turned down by a hoe?
The only working girls making money are the ones working for the agencies, and they pay the agency to do it. But they're escorts not prostitutes.

As someone who was trafficked, this is really interesting to watch. That first lady was right, the pimps are about the lowest of the low taking advantage of women in vulnerable positions. That dude didn’t seem like the brightest bulb, nor the most successful but a lot of the things he said were the same sorts of things that were said to me. “I’m out there risking MY life for YOU.” Among other things.. the part about African American johns I found most curious. I wasn’t allowed to see any either. I went into a friend’s house (a black man) after he found me posted online and pretended to be a client so he could bring me there and see if I was okay, and try to help me. I didn’t realize my pimp saw me go inside and saw him.. he was calling me immediately, screaming at me for going inside and telling me I had to leave. He beat me and screamed in my face about being stupid and having a death wish. He was also a black man himself. Im honestly curious about the real reasons for them saying this.

Most of these girls are trafficked by their pimp. The gorilla pimp keeps them trapped by fear, intimidation, and threats. The Romeo pimp traps them with what they perceive as love, which isn’t love at all when you send them to the streets to do this.
A high percentage of these girls have been in foster homes, don’t have family, or their family is a mess!
I used to approach these girls on the streets (with a highly trained and organized group) to offer them a way out, a hug, and/or a prayer. The stories we were told were truly heartbreaking. Most of the girls were really sweet and had dreams for their life.

I met a girl once who basically wanted me to be her pimp, she wanted to essentially be my girlfriend along with another girl while also going out turning tricks and have me basically hold down the fort and keep her money while she was gone. I wasnt cool with it, spent a week trying to talk her into leaving that life behind, so she moved along. I kept in touch with her by facebook, she got straight and moved to a better life, hope my words finally helped convince her and it just took awhile.

I like how the pimp admits to once being a good person and then becoming a monster and how he learned the game from a hoe and his aunt, but everyone has time to notice his sense of fashion or whether he's a pimp making money or not, or he's just scum. Pimps and hoes are out there creating one another and blaming one another. Everyone needs to do better, especially the community behind them when they were children. There's still hope but the damage is deep.

I really do feel sorry for these girls, and it's amazing how many young girls run-a-way, get into drugs, etc. and then fall into this. As for the Pimps, lock them all up and throw away the key. At least make it legal so the woman can run their own business. LOL I remember seeing a gang-oriented video, and everytime the prostitutes would setup on their corner, they would beat them up - knowing that some older OG put them there. They did not want the attention (plus, they were not getting paid to protect them. They knew what they was doing...LOL).

They don't " get into drugs". Ask any woman how many times drugs are either pushed on them, forced on them or offered to them BY MALES. Drugs/alcohol are the first tools males use to force sex ( grape) on girls and women. That's the start of the grooming and MOST men do it. Why do you think they call it " THE CLUB" ? Think of a caveman.

I was sexually exploited by the adults around me at 15 years old. I was also in a foster home and my roommate told me about how she used to meet up with older men to smoke and get free things. I had met up with an older man to smoke and drink, I was acting and feeling real grown, fucked around and really fell into some grown up shit. This man convinced me to leave my foster home and come be his 304, telling me I could have anything I ever wanted everyday. As a 15 year old that grew up poor and living in section 8 that always looked at others having what they wanted, this sounded tempting. At the time I had one body and he was my age, so I was deeply offended and not down for that at all! He sensed that and sold the dream that I wouldn’t be able to get by without actually sleeping with them and that I can just lure/set them up. I was convinced and all of a sudden living a fast cold life at 15. All the men that have touched/ violated me literally haunt me. I’m 20 now and recently went to disneyland for the first time, I had extremely bad flashbacks when I remembered my second pimp wanted to take 15 year old me to disneyland. I remember the horror I felt in my body when I realized if I go with him I will always remember my first time at disneyland with a PIMP. Thankfully I was able to make healthy memories at 20 with my boyfriend and his family.

so a classic for a woman, be opportunistic and always blame men. I also grew up poor and at 15 I could have prostituted myself or dealt drugs, but I didn't. At 15 you're not a child, so stop acting like one. If you can understand sex and that older people can offer you things your peers can't you were enough adult to make your choices.

I hope people understand that in California, this new "Loitering" law says that law enforcement can no longer cite or arrest prostitutes for standing around streets. They say it's not legalizing prostitution, but if the police see prostitutes on the streets talking to potential customers, they can't do anything about it, and even worse, they can stand anywhere they want! They can stand in front of schools, churches your home, anywhere and they don't have to leave! Nice huh? Not a wonder why people are leaving California!

I don't understand how the state of California can de-criminalize prostitution during times of heightened human trafficking involving minors. There need to at least be stings set up focused on removing minors, trafficked girls and their predators from the trade.

I used to live on 69th & Fig in some apartments & there was a motel next to where I lived where the prostitutes used to go so I would see them all the time coming from school.
One day coming from school, this big ass pimp at least 6’5 tall & probably 300 lbs slapped a girl so hard in front of me. I wanted to say something but I was only in middle school at the time & I just hear the prostitute crying behind as I kept walking towards my house.
Lots of dudes worship pimp behavior but in reality it’s nothing to be proud of.

I don't mean this with disrespect, but this is an issue of fatherlessness. Not just the girls, but the guys running it. It's a cycle that perpetuates itself because girls with no dad in the picture are 7x more likely to be pregnant as a teen. Those girls usually don't keep a man because the guy is usually an irresposible teen themself. We need to treat this as an epidemic the same way as covid, promote awareness, offer better education and therapy for people experiencing fatherlessness.
