The Apocalypse Song is about embracing life for what it is, including its most carnal nature. The subject matter appears to be someone (a lover) who has conservative/religious views which St Vincent perceives is holding them back.
[Verse 1]
Wait, I'll be swifter than the speed of light
Carbon all my body, a billion years of time
You'll wake with the stitches over both your eyes
And deny me my body and all earthly delights
[Chorus]
It's time, you are light
I guess you are afraid of what everyone is made of
Time and light
I guess you are afraid of what everyone is made of
[Verse 2]
All of your praying amounts to just one breath
Please keep your victory, but give me little death
[Chorus]
It's time, you are light
I guess you are afraid of what everyone is made of
Time and light
I guess you are afraid of what everyone is made of
[Bridge]
Time, time, time, time
[Chorus]
Time, you are light
I guess you are afraid of what everyone is made of
Time and light
I guess you are afraid of what everyone is made of
Everyone is made of
[Outro]
So take to the streets with apocalypse refrain
Your devotion has the look of a lunatic's gaze
