Arcadia
thom yorke and apparat Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
For life to come
I could go further
And no one's surprised
Your plans collapse, run off or fall apart
Your plans collapse, run off or fall apart
What's the point of waiting
I could go further
And no one's surprised
Your plans collapse, run off or fall apart
Your plans collapse, run off or fall apart
The lyrics of "Arcadia" by Thom Yorke and Apparat delve into the human experience of waiting, questioning the futility of waiting for life to happen. The verse "What's the point of waiting for life to come" might suggest that we are not living fully in the present, always waiting for something to happen before we allow ourselves to fully embrace life. The repetition of the verse emphasizes the sense of urgency and the need to take action to progress in life.
The second verse, "Your plans collapse, run off or fall apart," sounds like a lament about the inevitability of failure and disappointment. However, the repetition of the phrase and the use of the word "or" suggest that there are different experiences of setback, failure, or loss that can lead to growth, learning, and transformation. The lyrics of "Arcadia" seem to invite introspection, prompting listeners to reflect on their relationship with time, their approach to achieving their goals, and their ability to adapt to change.

What's the point of waiting
Why should I delay or hold back?
For life to come
For the future to unfold on its own
I could go further
I have the power to take more risks
And no one's surprised
No one expects me to conform to their expectations
Your plans collapse, run off or fall apart
Despite one's best efforts, plans can crumble and fail
Your plans collapse, run off or fall apart
Despite one's best efforts, plans can crumble and fail

It's borderline tragic that I went 12 years without knowing this song existed.
Andrea Mendoza
I am a new listener to Apparat. This was the first song I heard, might i just add i was completely blown away with just a few seconds in. Completely BRILLIANT!
Reece Ward
7 years later... I'm sure it still feels good. Try KENNA
Jason Pearce
For some reason, this track has dominated my every waking moment of late. Had to dig deep to hunt it down in my collection. I had no idea of who, when or where it was... but I knew I had it somewhere. Found it tonight. Spooky. Creepy. And ridiculously good.
Tomasz Cudziło
Sounds great even after 10 years of non listening to this tune. Electronic Mozart to me
Peter Clarke
2021 and still a killer jam.

I recommend you to listen to Moderat too! They are almost the same squad, just different project. For example "Last time" "Rusty nails" "Versions"
