Oblivion Lyrics

Another walk about after dark
It's my point of view
'Cause someone could break your neck
Coming up behind you, always coming and you'd never have a clue

I never look behind, all the time
I will wait forever, always looking straight
Thinking, counting, all the hours you wait

(Ooh, ah) (la, la, la, la, la)
See you on a dark night (ooh, ah)
See you on a dark night (ooh, ah) (la, la, la, la, la)
See you on a dark night
See you on a dark night

And no, I'm not a jerk, I would ask
If you could help me out
It's hard to understand
'Cause when you're really by yourself
It's hard to find someone to hold your hand

And now it's good to be tough with me
But I will wait forever
I need someone now to look into my eyes and tell me
"Girl, you know you gotta watch your health"

To look into my eyes and tell me
La, la, la, la, la
To look into my eyes and tell me
La, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la

Oh, oh
Oh, oh

See you on a dark night
See you on a dark night (oh)
See you on a dark night (oh)
See you on a dark night (oh)
See you on a dark night (oh)
See you on a dark night (oh)
See you on a dark night (oh)
See you on a dark night (ooh, ah)
See you on a dark night (ooh, ah)
See you on a dark night (ooh, ah) (la, la, la, la, la)
See you on a dark night (ooh, ah) (oh, oh)

What is the Meaning of Oblivion?

This haunting track delves into the theme of vulnerability and fear, particularly in relation to personal safety. The lyrics depict a sense of paranoia and apprehension when walking alone at night, a common concern for many individuals. This fear is personified as an unseen threat lurking in the shadows. The desire for companionship and protection is expressed through the plea for someone to hold her hand and look into her eyes. The repetitive "See you on a dark night" may signify an attempt to confront these fears head-on. Despite its eerie undertones, there's also an element of resilience and determination which resonates throughout the song. #Fear #Resilience #PersonalSafety
