Rotten Apple Lyrics

Hey ah na na
Innocence is over
Hey ah na na, over
Hey ah na na
Ignorance is spoken
Hey ah na na, spoken
Hey ah na na
Confidence is broken
Hey ah na na broken
Hey ah na na
Sustenance is stolen
Hey ah na na, stolen
Hey ah na na
Arrogance is potent
Hey ah na na, potent, yeah

What I see is unreal
I've written my own part
Eat of the apple, so young
I'm crawling back to start

Hey ah na na
I repent tomorrow
Hey ah na na tomorrow
Hey ah na na
I suspend my sorrow
Hey ah na na
Sorrow, yeah

What I see is unreal
I've written my own part
Eat of the apple, so young
I'm crawling back to start

Hey ah na na
A romance is fallen
Hey ah na na fallen
Hey ah na na
Recommend you borrow
Hey ah na na, borrow, yeah

What I see is unreal
I've written my own part
Eat of the apple, so young
I'm crawling back to start
Hey ah na na

What is the Meaning of Rotten Apple?

Diving into the depths of disillusionment, "Rotten Apple" seems to explore themes of innocence lost and the cyclical nature of mistakes and redemption. The lyrics poignantly reflect on personal downfall and the struggle to regain purity, symbolized by the recurring image of eating from an apple, reminiscent of original sin. This track captures a haunting journey of self-awareness and the painful acknowledgment of one's flaws, yet also hints at a relentless pursuit to start anew despite past transgressions. It’s a raw look at human frailty and the potent mix of arrogance that often leads us astray. #AliceInChains #SelfReflection
