Apollo
Winstonw Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I want to tell you
How much I love you
Hooks and sweet melodies
You've fucked with my brain
The soft drugs healing pain
I've wasted my life, I can not let go

And I must succeed cos I won't give up
What does that mean?
Make it or break it
What does that mean?
Push it until I win
Push it until I die
Light the fire

I want to leave you
Behind doors to kill you
Such a heavy burden
Am I strong enough to bear
Heavy chain mail I must wear
I've wasted my life, I can not let go

And I must succeed cos I won't give up
What does that mean?
Make it or break it
What does that mean?
Push it until I win
Push it until I die
Light the fire

Monsters in my head tell me to despair
They eat all my faith
Monsters in my head tell to lose hope
They eat all my dreams

But fuck off, I am not a loser
Better die than live a life of slavery
But fuck off, I am not a loser
Yet will I stand up straight up 'till the end
I've wasted my life, I can not let go

And I must succeed cos I won't give up
What does that mean?
Make it or break it
What does that mean?
Push it until I win




Push it until I die
Light the fire
