Apples
Paper and Crayons Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I wish to use my body as a guide
To stream across your transatlantic sky
On a firecracker fourth of July
I'm raised on hockey, he's raised on electrology
I'm American as apple pie
I'm American as the next guy
The first two lines of the verse carry an intense desire to illuminate oneself in the eyes of others. The imagery of using one's body as a torch and a guide is a metaphor for the idea of one's own being being a beacon of enlightenment for others. The next two lines are also metaphorical and compare oneself to a firecracker on the Fourth of July, another way of expressing the desire to be seen and noticed.
The following lines illustrate a contrast between the singer's upbringing and that of their partner. While the singer grew up playing and loving hockey, their partner was raised in a culture surrounding electronics. Despite this difference, the singer asserts their own identity as being undoubtedly American. This last line is a way of reiterating that the singer sees himself as being no less American than any other person.
Overall, the song "Apples" by Paper and Crayons speaks of a desire for recognition and acceptance, especially in relation to identity.
