you got the music in me baby tell me why

So, when it says “Your lips, My lips, Apocalypse” i think that means, since we’ve already established that “apocalypse” represents their past memories and old life, that when this person comes back into their life and they develop feelings for each other and kiss, all of the past memories come flooding back whether this is a warm feeling or bittersweet is up for interpretation. This person is a sweet reminder of all of the good of the past and they secretly hope that they will come back into their life. “Sharing all your secrets with each other since you were kids, sleeping soundly with the locket that she gave you clutched in your fist“ I think this line introduces a person who was a part of those memories and that past life, coming back into their life. In an apocalypse, i’d imagine i’d want to take any thing that brings me light in a dull world and keep it safe and hide it from the rest of the world. You’ve been hiding them in hollowed out pianos left in the dark” means they’re keeping every good memory in a safe place because it’s the only good thing they have at that moment. “Kisses on the foreheads of the lovers wrapped in your arms “ You've been locked in here forever and you just can't say goodbye” Means this person is still caught up in past events and although these events hurt them- it has become so comfortable and familiar that they can’t let it go.

Hence the apocalyptic theme, basically their memories are like an abandoned broken world but still they would rather live there than the present. I think many parts of this song can be interpreted as a person trying to cope with emotional trauma by desperately trying to hold on to every last good piece of their old life, even when all that’s left is a broken crumbling memory. Sleeping soundly with the locket that she gave you clutched in your fist

Sharing all your secrets with each other since you were kids Go and sneak us through the rivers flood is rising up on your knees You’ve been hiding them in hollowed out pianos left in the dark Kisses on the foreheads of the lovers wrapped in your arms

You've been locked in here forever and you just can't say goodbye You leapt from crumbling bridges watching cityscapes turn to dustįilming helicopters crashing in the ocean from way above
