Apple Lyrics – Charli XCX
Apple Lyrics
[Verse 1: Charli XCX]
I guess the apple don't fall far from the tree
'Cause I've been looking at you so long
Now I only see me
I wanna throw the apple into the sky
Feels like you never understand me
So I just wanna drive
[Chorus: Charli XCX]
To the airport, the airport
The airport, the airport
[Verse 2: Charli XCX]
I guess the apple could turn yellow or green
I know there's lots of different nuances
To you and to me
I wanna grow the apple, keep all the seeds
But I can't help but get so angry
You don't listen to me
[Chorus: Charli XCX]
To the airport, the airport
The airport, the airport
The airport, the airport
The airport, the airport
[Bridge: Charli XCX]
I'm gonna drive, gonna drive all night
I'm gonna drive, gonna drive all night
[Verse 3: Charli XCX]
I think the apple's rotten right to the core
From all the things passed down
From all the apples coming before
I split the apple down symmetrical lines
And what I find is kinda scary
Makes me just wanna drive
(Drive, drive, drive, dr-dr-dr-drive, drive, drive)
(I'm gonna drive, gonna drive all night)
(I'm gonna drive, gonna drive all night)
(Drive, drive, drive, dr-dr-dr-drive, drive, drive)
[Outro: Charli XCX]
I know where you're go
When you're feeling alone
When you're feeling alone, do you
I know where you're go
When you're feeling alone
When you're feeling alone, do you
(Do you, do you, do you, do you)
(Do you, do you, do you, do you)
(Do you, do you, do you, do you)
(Do you, do you, do you, do you)
(Do you, do you, do you, do you)
(Do you, do you, do you, do you)
(Do you, do you, do you, do you)
(Do you, do you, do you, do you)
(Do you, do you)
Apple Lyrics Meaning
The lyrics of "Apple" by Charli XCX is about self-reflection and a strained relationship, using the metaphor of an apple to explore themes of inheritance, understanding, and frustration. The apple represents both the singer and her partner, with its state and color symbolizing their feelings and the dynamics of their relationship. The journey to the airport signifies a desire to escape and seek clarity or resolution.
[Verse 1]
In the first verse, Charli XCX uses the metaphor of the apple not falling far from the tree to suggest that she and her partner are similar, possibly inheriting traits or behaviors from their parents. She has been observing her partner for so long that she feels like she only sees herself reflected in them. The desire to throw the apple into the sky symbolizes a wish to break free from these inherited patterns and the feeling of being misunderstood, leading to a desire to escape by driving away.
[Chorus]
The chorus emphasizes the act of driving to the airport repeatedly. The airport represents a place of departure, escape, and possibly new beginnings. The repetition underscores the singer’s strong desire to leave and find a way out of the current situation.
[Verse 2]
In the second verse, Charli acknowledges that the apple could change color, indicating that there are many nuances and complexities in both herself and her partner. She wants to nurture the relationship (grow the apple and keep the seeds), but her partner’s lack of understanding and listening frustrates her deeply, making it hard for her to maintain this desire.
[Bridge]
The bridge focuses on the act of driving through the night, emphasizing the singer’s determination to leave and the urgency of her need to escape.
[Verse 3]
The third verse delves deeper into the metaphor of the apple, suggesting that it is rotten to the core due to generational issues passed down through previous "apples." When she examines the apple closely (splitting it along symmetrical lines), what she finds is frightening, reinforcing her desire to escape and drive away.
[Outro]
In the outro, Charli reflects on where her partner goes when feeling alone, questioning if they are also seeking escape or solace in their own way. The repeated questioning "do you" suggests a lingering doubt and curiosity about her partner’s feelings and actions.
