High life
In the worst of your fears
You have come so far to hear
That in turn they've showered your name
As the laughing stock
Now by fire, you must hang
As my word holds course through vein
You will walk to the end of days
I'll gravitate towards you
I will, in the now, hate you, whoa, whoa
These days are numbered, this close encounter
To the heartland, through the madness
I'll make you wish you hadn't burned our time before
I'll live through this
In a manner cursed at my own accord
I don't want to go
So come on bitch, why aren't you laughing now?
You left me here to fend on my own
So cry on bitch, why aren't you laughing now
In my presence you will make sure the fiction meets its fate
That death will grace your face, my dear character
Through these lessons you have learned
All the worlds from here must burn
For as God demands that the end, we miss
I'll make you wish you hadn't burned our time before
I'll live through this
In a manner cursed at my own accord
I don't want to go
So come on bitch, why aren't you laughing now?
You left me here to fend on my own
So cry on bitch, why aren't you laughing now? Yeah
Whoa, if my shame spills our worth across this floor
Whoa, then tonight, goodnight, I'm burning Star IV
Only I don't even want to think of you
No, I don't want to think of you anymore
Goodnight, tonight, goodbye
Goodnight, tonight, goodbye
If then, should they come home
With failed attempt, we'll know
I won't leave stone unturned
These worlds will surely burn
Wait, wait
Wait, wait
Wait, wait
Wait, wait
Wait, wait
Wait, wait
But what did I do to
To deserve all of you
Jesse, bad boy, just come look at what your brother did
To that girl's precious little whore of a body
Jesse, bad boy, just come look at what your brother did
To that girl's precious little whore of a body now
Jesse, just come look at what your brother did
To that girl's precious little whore of a body now
Jesse, just come look at what your brother did
To that girl's precious little whore of a body now
I'll make you wish you hadn't burned our time before
I'll live through this
In a manner cursed at my own accord
I don't want to go
So come on bitch, why aren't you laughing now?
You left me here to fend on my own

Goodnight, tonight, goodbye

No girl, I don't want to think of you anymore

The way this song speaks to me🥺🥺when I sing it I feel like I relate
Techno Ted
Audioslave
Audioslave
Techno Ted may be a person who caused Chris incredible emotional pain & trepidation as well as moments of peace & happiness but now is removed and awaiting his fate. Darling may be a different person who is also free of him and can live her life free of Ted's tyranny. "In between all the laughing, and daydreams ... lies: a desert of truth" Lies are like a desert or the omission of Truth: Where there were Lies then Truth was absent. The song, "Techno Ted", may be a cathartic celebration of the downfall of this person.
Light Up The Sky
Van Halen
Van Halen
The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.
Fast Car
Tracy Chapman
Tracy Chapman
"Fast car" is kind of a continuation of Bruce Springsteen's "Born to Run." It has all the clawing your way to a better life, but in this case the protagonist never makes it with her love; in fact she is dragged back down by him.
There is still an amazing amount of hope and will in the lyrics; and the lyrics themselve rank and easy five. If only music was stronger it would be one of those great radio songs that you hear once a week 20 years after it was released. The imagery is almost tear-jerking ("City lights lay out before us", "Speeds so fast felt like I was drunk"), and the idea of starting from nothing and just driving and working and denigrating yourself for a chance at being just above poverty, then losing in the end is just painful and inspiring at the same time.
The actual title is The Willing Well III: Apollo II: The Telling Truth. The title as you have it is from a typo in the leaked version of the cd.
No, it was a typo from myself ^_^
either way, this song is amazing when it goes into blood red summer...i wet myself
Ah, didn't mean to sound so accusatory, but I have heard that there is a typo in one of the song titles (I thought I'd try to clarify for the few that might thingk this is a different song or something).
This song also alludes to "Everything Evil" when it says "Jesee... just come look at what your brother did..."
I love when Co&Ca references their other songs.
its like 2113 and time consumer
and it has the favor house riff right before that part.
i love the blood red summer and everything evil part but it's almost the same song as Apollo I: The Writing Writer, which is an equally awesome song, but anyway, doesn't seem like something Claudio would do...like it's an extended version of The Writing Writer
Is there gonna be a bonus track on Good Apollo like 21:13 or was this sorta it?
this isn't the bonus track, but I bet there will be one. This song seems to me like a big climax, with all the different songs coming together. Other than that I have no clue what it means, it seems like Claudio (the one in the story) is remembering everything that has happened, like a flashback or something.
this is the best song on the new album
hands down
Can someone tell me at what times it goes into Blood Red Summer and Favor House?
I didn't hear these things...
