“Appels + Oranjes” touches on the age-old subject of metaphysics; a branch of philosophy that explores reality.

[Verse 1]
What if the sun refused to shine?
What if the clouds refused to rain?
What if the wind refused to blow?
What if the seas refused to wave?
What if the world refused to turn?
What if the stars would hesitate?
[Chorus]
What if, what is isn’t true?
What are you going to do?
What if, what is isn’t you?
Does that mean you’ve got to lose?
Digging for the feel of something new
[Verse 2]

What are you going to do?
What if, what is isn’t you?
Does that mean you’ve got to lose?
Digging for the feel of something new
[Outro]
Does that mean you’ve got to choose
The feel of something new?
Does that mean you’ve got to lose
The thoughts you cannot use?
What are you gonna do?
