Reply To: Songs that remind me of OUAT

Here is another from the same band. Apocalypso, by “I Draw Slow”.

Now this one is clearly about Zades! I mean, the first line is:

We’re kissing at the gates of hell

????

But more than that, the song is about two people who figure they are already damned no matter what they do, so why not enjoy the ride? Or, they are going to go to hell anyway, so why not go together? It is too late to “learn” and become better people, so they choose to just … embrace who they are.

This verse in particular reminds me of Hades’ line about “it’s our decay”:

And even if it all goes up in flames
And nothing in the universe remains, darling
I’ll be better by your side, maybe

And these verses:

Push is gonna come to shove
On this hunk a hunk o’ burning love
So we’re gonna do it on a count of three, honey
Cause if you’re gonna go to hell might as well be with me

So put your skinny little hands in mine
Let’s go swinging at the end of time
We’re just another boy and girl
Looking for a friend at the end of the world

Well, here is the song, and the full lyrics:

Apocalypso
by “I Draw Slow”

We’re kissing at the gates of hell
But we’re swinging like an old brass bell
We’re gonna be the last ones through, honey
And I couldn’t give a damn if I’m holding hands with you

Let’s go swimming when the oceans rise
Singing as the ships capsize
Waving when the moon lets go
Cause we’re never gonna learn if we don’t already know

And even if it all goes up in flames
And nothing in the universe remains, darling
I’ll be better by your side, maybe

Push is gonna come to shove
On this hunk a hunk o’ burning love
So we’re gonna do it on a count of three, honey
Cause if you’re gonna go to hell might as well be with me

So put your skinny little hands in mine
Let’s go swinging at the end of time
We’re just another boy and girl
Looking for a friend at the end of the world

And even if it all goes up in flames
And nothing in the universe remains, darling,
I’ll be better by your side, maybe
See you on the other side of time, baby
There’s no need to say goodbye, surely,
I’ll see you on the other side of time, maybe
