Shamlo teams up with Elijah Woods on the haunting single “apom,” a standout track from the artist’s recent release. The song blends introspective lyricism with a minimalist production that highlights both vocalists’ emotional delivery.
“apom” explores the lingering echoes of a past relationship, capturing the bittersweet feeling of holding onto fragments of love while trying to move forward. Through vivid imagery and recurring motifs of sleeves, bottles, and lingering scents, the track delves into memory, longing, and the difficulty of letting go.
And I hope you carry a part of me, cause I still wear half of you on my sleeve
But the bottle is getting dry, and the time keeps passing by
Baby, don’t let go, don’t let go of me
My sheets still smell like Sunday morning
Flowers blossom on my collar, when you hold me
I left a part of me in your apartment
Somewhere in the air, if you get lonely
That little chase still hangs around your neck
Backs you with no fuking up, when you’re slow to breathe
You said memories live longer than me
Maybe that’s the reason you ain’t sitting here yet
I remember you and all the little things, after the moment fades
A part of me is all you keep
And I hope you carry a part of me, cause I still wear half of you on my sleeve
But the bottle is getting dry, and the time keeps passing by
Baby, don’t let go, don’t let go of me
Yeah, I tried to watch you on my mount
You still linger on my tongue, you still living in my lungs
Yeah, shadows of you inside my head, got my jaw laying on the floor
I’m still waiting as you told me, still making my floor weak
Guess some things never leave, they settle in your bones
Or somewhere in your sleep, I still wear you on my sleeve
I remember you and all the little things, after the moment fades
A part of me is all you keep
And I hope you carry a part of me, cause I still wear half of you on my sleeve
But the bottle is getting dry, and the time keeps passing by
Baby, don’t let go, don’t let go of me
