As an integral part of any song, lyrics act a way for artists to divulge their thoughts with listeners, but with so many songs out there, how can you be sure to hear all of these messages?
To grasp these hidden meanings, we have asked Apollo Bleu to showcase some of their favourite, original lyrics and are pleased to feature them as part of our Waxing Lyrical series.
Today’s Waxing Lyrical With Apollo Bleu dives into the lyrics of their song ‘Journey To Unknown’.
We are an up and coming four piece Rock/indie band from south east London / Dartford.
Dan on the drums, Jack with the lead guitar, Megan on the bass and yours truly Liam, lead singer and Rythm guitarist.
Playing all our own music, dealing in summer time nostalgia and hints of darkness. Sprinkled with adhd and riffs that will send you wild.
Doing our own thing, having a good time and looking to bring everyone along for the ride. Long Live Live Music.
Liam wrote this song on a sunny, Saturday afternoon in Finsbury Park whilst waiting to go on stage for a charity fundraiser event for the homeless. “Journey” is about the day-to-day life and struggles of a homeless person, never knowing where you might wake up the next day. Its also a celebration of how unpredictable our lives are and how beautiful that can be.
LYRICS
The journey to unknown
We’ve been careless, but the truth is, we’ve been living wild
From the streets we, grew up loosely, courage takes control
And what a way, they have with words, but they’ll never stop us now
We separate, and we do it well, as we’re reaching a different realm
Oh cover me in gold , oh I never needed your pity love
The secrets kill me soft and slowly
Where did my time go
Oh this wind it takes me
On this lonely
Cold and ruthless road
The journey to unknown x3
Oh oh oh x4
I’ve been staring at the sun for, far way to long
And demons whisper, but I don’t listen, cos they’ll never know
Where I’ve been, what I’ve done, they won’t last a day my love
Cos I’m one, of a kind, they’ll just burn up in my precious mind
And cover me in gold, oh I never needed your pity love
The secrets kill me soft and slowly
Where did my time go
Oh this wind it takes me
On this lonely
Cold and ruthless road
The journey to unknown x3
SOLO
Oh cover me in gold, no I never needed your pity love no
The secrets kill me soft and slowly
Where did my time go
Oh this wind it takes me
On this lonely
Cold and ruthless road
The journey to unknown x3
