As they developed their sound, Male Apparatus became known for their high-energy performances and honest, thought-provoking lyrics.

Title:
“Midnight Monologue”
Full Song Lyrics:
(Verse 1)
[D] Midnight, in the [G] dorm room [A] lights,
[Bm] Talking ’bout the [F#m] universe and [G] life,
[D] Four friends, with [G] guitars in [A] sight,
[Bm] Strumming out the [F#m] chords to our [G] plight.
(Chorus)
[A] We are the [Bm] Male Apparatus,
[D] Struggling with the [G] world’s status,
[A] Singing out our [Bm] midnight monologue,
[D] In the hopes it can [G] cut through the fog.
(Verse 2)
[D] Biology is [G] more than cells [A] and genes,
[Bm] We’re questioning what [F#m] all of it [G] means,
[D] Strumming out our [G] thoughts in [A] tunes,
[Bm] Under the cold [F#m] midnight [G] moon.
(Chorus)
[A] We are the [Bm] Male Apparatus,
[D] Breaking down the [G] world’s canvas,
[A] Shouting out our [Bm] midnight monologue,
[D] Hoping it can [G] pierce the fog.
(Bridge)
[D] We’re not just [G] students, [A] we’re more,
[Bm] Holding a key to [F#m] life’s secret [G] door,
[D] Four friends, with [G] dreams taking [A] flight,
[Bm] In the echoes of the [F#m] midnight [G] light.
(Chorus)
[A] We are the [Bm] Male Apparatus,
[D] Pushing against the [G] world’s status,
[A] Belting out our [Bm] midnight monologue,
[D] Knowing it will [G] clear the fog.
