The Flight Of Apollo

Angels & Airwaves · Love [2010]

I'm flying, and somethings reaching out

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

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.
