"Apocalypso" is a song by Danish indie rock band Mew, and the first single from their fourth album "And the Glass Handed Kites". It was released on July 18th, 2005 in two formats: 7" vinyl and download. The download version was an acoustic waltz version of the song from the 7" vinyl. The song first aired on the Danish radio show Det Elektriske Barometer.

In an interview, the band revealed that the meaning of the song is about "the fear of Death". It was written after one of the members revealed that he felt all of his greatest fears in life about anything can be traced back to one consuming fear about death itself.

The song features Swirlies front man Damon Tutunjian on guitar.

Music video

Lead singer Jonas Bjerre directed a short promotional video to accompany the single. The video features drummer Silas Graae taking a drive in his car. At one point, a bird hits his window. When he goes out to take a look at the dead bird, he switches places with the bird. A bird-sized Silas is seen lying on the ground, and the bird (wearing Silas' clothes) is seen getting into the car.
