Apocalypse
Sparfunk & D-Code Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Mandatory evacuation in Area A
Mass exodus has begun, but we still wanna play
Riots and looting at the close of the sun
Countdown to extinction; three, two
Who knows if there'll be another tomorrow?
Let's hit the stage like Jimmy Gestapo
Anxiety is building, brought on by the State
Still we won't evacuate
The show must go on, no matter what
The apocalypse is here and we're not gonna stop
The show must go on, no matter what
Get your riot gear on; stomp, stomp, stomp
Powerfully possessed like an iron fist
The storm has begun and we're caught in its midst
If we quit now, they'll say we were soft
So let's mosh it up, like Murphy's Law
The show must go on, no matter what
The apocalypse is here and we're not gonna stop
The show must go on, no matter what
Get your riot gear on; stomp, stomp, stomp
The damage around us is starting to mount
I'm beginning to fear we won't make it out
Reality sets in, death is soon near
Nothing can save us, not even your prayers
The show must go on, no matter what
The apocalypse is here and we're not gonna stop
The show must go on, no matter what
Get your riot gear on; stomp, stomp, stomp
We died for our cause but we didn't expect
Our quest for greatness to end like this




Now that we're gone we can't reminisce
Our last show, The Apocalypse

Overall Meaning

The Sparfunk & D-Code's song Apocalypse is a powerful, hard-hitting track that conveys the sense of an impending end of the world. The song begins with the imagery of a mandatory evacuation in Area A, and a mass exodus that has already started, but the desire to play music is still strong. The themes of riots, looting, and countdown to extinction are woven through the song, creating a sense of darkness and chaos. Despite the anxiety and fear that is building within the population, the musicians decide to put on a show, describing themselves as "powerfully possessed like an iron fist" caught in the midst of the storm. They urge the listeners to get their riot gear on and "stomp, stomp, stomp". The song takes a sharp turn as it enters its final section: reality sets in and the lyrics reflect on the inevitability of death. The bandmates acknowledge that they are unlikely to make it out alive but proclaim that "the show must go on, no matter what".


The lyrics of Apocalypse touch on various themes, including perseverance, rebellion, and the human desire to pursue their passions even in the face of adversity. The song describes individuals who are aware of the catastrophic events that are quickly unfolding but refuse to let that dampen their spirits or take away the joy of performing. Instead, they stand firm, rebel against the state, and remain true to their passion, even as they face their own mortality.
