Oblivion Lyrics

Toxic Emissions
Modern Conditions
Vague Apparitions
Lost in the discontents
Cling to the senses
Cling to the nothingness
Laugh like you are not there
Laugh like you do not care
Tension undying here
Soft and familiar
Wide eyed and innocent
Warm ways and imminent

Breathe in, breathe in
Breathe in, breathe in

Oblivion!
Oblivion!
Oblivion!
Oblivion!

Lines in a paper
Black clouds and vapour
Now filled with summer
Light rains and meteors
Light rains and meteors
Holes in the universe
Crayons and scribblers
Infinite bellies burst
Cracks in the ocean crust
Choke on the cosmic dust

What will become of us?
What will become of us?
What will become of us?
What will become of us?

Oblivion!
Oblivion!
Oblivion!
Oblivion!
Oblivion!
Oblivion!
Oblivion!
Oblivion!

Oblivion!
Oblivion!
Oblivion!
Oblivion!
Oblivion!
Oblivion!
Oblivion!
Oblivion!
Oblivion!
Oblivion!

Toxic Emissions Modern Conditions Vague Apparitions Lost in the discontents Cling to the senses Cling to the nothingness Laugh like you are not there Laugh like you do not care Tension undying here Soft and familiar Wide eyed and innocent Warm ways and imminent

Breathe in, breathe in Breathe in, breathe in

Oblivion! Oblivion! Oblivion! Oblivion!

Lines in a paper Black clouds and vapour Now filled with summer Light rains and meteors Light rains and meteors Holes in the universe Crayons and scribblers Infinite bellies burst Cracks in the ocean crust Choke on the cosmic dust

What will become of us? What will become of us? What will become of us? What will become of us?

Oblivion! Oblivion! Oblivion! Oblivion! Oblivion! Oblivion! Oblivion! Oblivion!

Oblivion! Oblivion! Oblivion! Oblivion! Oblivion! Oblivion! Oblivion! Oblivion! Oblivion! Oblivion!

I edited it with your corrections! Thanks for that!

We try to be oblivious to the conditions of our world to avoid thinking about or dealing with serious issues.

"flag out petitions" might possibly be "vague apparitions"? "cling" to the senses/nothingness? "tension and dying air"? i keep hearing "'not' filled with summer" and "cracks in the ocean 'crust'", possibly? haha rhymes with dust lol nice job, those first 3 lines i had a couple completely different lines but yours are definitely right

Cover art for Oblivion lyrics by Wintersleep

yeah, 'crust' instead of 'crack' looks right

destruction of the environment

Cover art for Oblivion lyrics by Wintersleep

definitely.

What's this song about? The environment?

I agree with concentric as for the words... Song has a really cool feel to it.

i think it's "lost in the discontent" not distant tense
