Apologize
Planet Countdown Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Got me ten feet off the ground
And I'm hearing what you say
But I just can't make a sound
You tell me that you need me
Then you go and cut me down
But wait...
You tell me that you're sorry
That it's too late to apologize, it's too late
I said it's too late to apologize, it's too late
I'd take another chance, take a fall, take a shot for you
And I need you like a heart needs a beat(
But that's nothing new)
Yeah yeah
I loved you with a fire red, now it's turning blue
And you say
Sorry like the Angel Heaven let me think was you,
But I'm afraid
It's too late to apologize, it's too late
I said it's too late to apologize, it's too late
Woahooo woah
It's too late to apologize, it's too late
I said it's too late to apologize, it's too late
I said it's too late to apologize, yeah
I said it's too late to apologize, yeah
I'm holding on your rope
Got me ten feet off the ground...
The lyrics of Planet Countdown's famous song "Apologize" revolves around a painful breakup. The song is about someone who is holding on to a love that has already slipped away. The first few lines of the song depict the singer's state of being emotionally stranded; the person he's with has left him feeling alone and helpless. The phrase "holding on your rope" represents the singer's struggle to hold on to the relationship with his lover, which is becoming increasingly difficult as the situation becomes more complicated. He tries to listen to his lover's words, but he can't seem to make a sound, and it feels like he's losing his grip on the relationship.
The singer defines his partner's inconsistent behavior and mendacity; she tells him that she needs him, and then she cuts him down with her actions. The phrase "you tell me that you're sorry" reveals a decisive moment in their relationship, where the singer is forced to acknowledge that his partner's actions have already rendered the relationship impossible. The singer is reluctant to forgive and forget and ultimately states, "It's too late to apologize."

It’s like how humans built Nuclear bombs to blow shit up then thought about how they could use it as an energy source. If we discover how to make anti-matter it’s going to be globally displayed in war or in a act of war first not for energy reasons
