Apologize
Republic 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
Didn't think I'd turn around, and say
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 it'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, whoa
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 "Apologize" by Republic are both introspective and emotional, exploring the feelings of betrayal, regret, and heartbreak that arise when we invest our trust and love into someone and they cut us down. The opening line "I'm holding on your rope, got me ten feet off the ground" suggests that the singer is suspended in mid-air, as if he's been left hanging by the person who betrayed him. He's listening to what they say, but is unable to respond. The chorus repeats the refrain that it's too late to apologize, which implies that the singer has already been hurt and although he acknowledges the apology, he can't forgive just yet.
The lyrics go on to describe the pain of loving someone who doesn't reciprocate that love, with lines like "I loved you with a fire red, now it's turning blue" hinting at a sense of loss and disappointment. The phrase "Sorry like the angel heaven let me think was you" suggests that the singer had idealized the person who hurt him, possibly seeing them as an angelic figure who would never do wrong. But when the betrayal came, he was left feeling alone and powerless.
Overall, "Apologize" is a haunting and introspective song that explores the complex emotions we feel when love goes wrong. It's an anthem for anyone who has ever been hurt by someone they trusted deeply.
