You'd like to lose yourself in the crowd's stride
In the arms of a river or other loves
Not hold what you let slip by anymore
Be like you used to be again, lighter
She doesn't leave you
Under every rain you walk through
Under every sky flipped upside down
In each of your gestures
She doesn't leave you
You, you'd cut across the plains like an Apache
Break free, with one shout, from all your ties
To go where, go where, go where, pale face
Into an ivory tower in open country
But she doesn't leave you
Under every rain you walk through
Under every sky, she tips you over
In each of your gestures
She outruns you
To go where, go where, go where
You don't know anymore
Change your face, mood, name and street
Yeah, you'd like to lose yourself among the flowers
Get rid of the stones at the bottom of your heart
Not hold what you let slip by anymore
Be like you used to be again, lighter
She doesn't leave you
Under every rain you walk through
Under every sky, she tips you over
In each of your gestures
You'd like to be done with them
But it doesn't work
No, no
She speaks in your silences
Like the secret from your childhood
And all those things
That never leave you
Ooh
You'd like to cut across the plains like an Apache
And you'd like to lose yourself in the crowd's stride
You'd like to frolic among the flowers
You'd like to
Under every rain you walk through
Under every sky flipped upside down
She doesn't let you
She doesn't leave you
Ooh
Under every rain she knocks you over
Under every sky she runs right through you
She doesn't leave you

SONG MEANING

“Apache” paints the picture of someone who is itching to disappear into the crowd, sprint across wide-open plains like a lone Apache, or lose themselves among rivers and flowers. The singer longs to shake off every heavy stone lodged in their heart, to feel as light and carefree as they once were. Yet wherever they run, a mysterious “elle” — a memory, a regret, a past love — clings to them. It shows up in every downpour, flips every sky upside-down, and races ahead of their every move.

The song captures that universal tug-of-war between the urge to start fresh and the stubborn shadows we carry. Even when the narrator imagines changing name, face, or city, “elle” whispers in their silences like an old childhood secret. “Apache” is ultimately a poetic reminder that freedom is not just about distance; it’s about making peace with the invisible passenger who refuses to let go.
