The Flight Of Apollo
Angels & Airwaves · Love [2010]
Vibrations, can you hear them now
Please help us, were running out of time
My brothers, we are deathly out of line
I feel you, on a far off distant land
We fucked up, lets give ourselves a hand
It's over. From the heavens look down
Our footsteps, gods coming around
Gotta make like a cat thiefs caught in the line
It's gotta sound like a gunshot over and over
I've gotta voice so lost off back in my head
It takes the heart rate up then down even more
I've got my friends face down like a kid in the dark
They've got the same fear built up more even more
I've let my eyes bright up like a predator shark
To let my mind close down every hour by hour
Finally I get this feeling were all alone in one big world
Just to realize that all these shapes and colors are
so it does'nt hurt so badly
So life does'nt hurt, does'nt hurt so badly,
so life does'nt hurt, does'nt hurt so badly
Please don't look at life, look at me so sadly.
Life shouldn't hurt, does'nt hurt so badly
Do you feel light shine in the darkest of nights,
or does the Pain stack up from the skin to the core
Do you find every time that you cover your eyes
to keep the tears held up, dripping down even more
Let the words come down, every line in sight and put the young flames up
and make you cower and cower
If the sun breaks in instead of sparkin the sight,
I promise you I'll be here to let the light in
Finally I get this feeling were all alone in one big world
Just to realize that all these shapes and colors are
so it does'nt hurt so badly
So life does'nt hurt, does'nt hurt so badly,
so life does'nt hurt, does'nt hurt so badly
Please don't look at life, look at me so sadly.
Life shouldn't hurt, does'nt hurt so badly
I'm flying and somethings reaching out
Vibrations, can you hear them now
Please help us, from the heavens look down
Our footsteps, gods coming around
So life does'nt hurt, does'nt hurt so badly,
so life does'nt hurt, does'nt hurt so badly
Please don't look at life, look at me so sadly.
Life shouldn't hurt, does'nt hurt so badly
Gotta make like a cat thiefs caught in the line
It's gotta sound like a gunshot over and over
I've gotta voice so lost off back in my head
It takes the heart rate up then down even more
I've got my friends face down like a kid in the dark
They've got the same fear built up more even more
I've let my eyes bright up like a predator shark
To let my mind close down every hour by hour
Do you feel light shine in the darkest of nights,
or does the pain stack up from the skin to the core
Do you find everytime that you cover your eyes
to keep the tears held up, dripping down even more
Let the words come down, every line in sight and put the young flames up
and make you cower and cower
If the sun breaks in instead of sparkin the sight,
I promise you I'll be here to let the light in
The Flight Of Apollo
Released on the 2010 album Love, "The Flight Of Apollo" is a standout track by Angels & Airwaves that exemplifies the band's signature blend of ethereal pop and electronic textures. The song features the distinctive vocal style of lead singer Greta Van Fleet, characterized by its soaring, emotive delivery that contrasts with the track's driving, synth-heavy production. As a key component of the Love catalogue, the recording captures the group's exploration of space-themed imagery and cosmic wonder, utilizing atmospheric layers to create an immersive soundscape. The composition reflects the broader indie-electronic movement of the early 2010s, prioritizing melodic hooks and emotional resonance over complex structural arrangements. It remains a defining piece of the artist's discography, showcasing their ability to merge pop sensibilities with a more experimental, dreamlike aesthetic.
