Oblivion! Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I guess I’m picking up the pieces summoning a dark force
I guess I’m picking up the pieces left by our collision course
I get it come on move me along
How long till death can take us on?
Bury my scars I’ll take the hit
Polish the blade and sharpen it

[Chorus]
Oblivion! May have left us bare but that’s the price we pay for innocence
Did you think of me when he reached down to kiss you?

[Verse 2]
Picking up the pieces fucking with the wrong crowd
I guess I’m picking up the piecеs living in the wrong town
I guess it’s a sign for me to lеave
All of the things we used to be
Burn and dissolve into the air
When you’re awake you’ll find me there

[Chorus]
Oblivion! May have left us bare but that’s the price we pay for innocence
Did you think of me when he reached down to kiss you?

Down down down down down
Down down down down down
Down down down down down
Down down down down down
[Bridge]
But once a word is said it means nothing
But once a word is said it means nothing at all
But once a word is said it means nothing
But once a word is said it means…

[Post-Chorus]
Every little thing that I’ve said
Every whisper, every word that I've spoken, devoted to things unholy
Every little thing that I’ve said
Every whisper, every word I have spoken, devoted to impending

[Chorus]
Oblivion!
May have left us bare but that’s the price we pay for innocence
Did you think of my when he reached down to kiss you?

Down down down down down
Down down down down down
Down down down down down
Down down down down down

  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

Genius Annotation

Speaking about the title track, Sundara Karma’s Oscar Pollock said: “‘Oblivion!’ came together so quickly, I wrote the whole thing in about two days in the summer last year. I had been revisiting a lot of my favourite music from around 2003 and was feeling quite nostalgic at the time. It definitely plays into the rockier aspects of our ‘sound’ but ultimately I think it’s a wonderful pop song.
