How To Destroy Angels – Welcome Oblivion

I don't know if you can hear me over this
I don't know if you can hear the sound
I don't know if you're aware of what's happening
I don't know if you should stick around

It's so perfect with a perfect kiss from your lips
It's so perfect with a loving embrace
You can't fuck with the way of nature
Everything is falling into place

You know what you have done
Welcome oblivion
And this has just begun
Welcome oblivion

All the flashing lights take over
All the pretty little dots make tracks
Leading you to your place of deliverance
And never look at what's behind the fear

You know what you have done
Welcome oblivion
And this has just begun
Welcome oblivion

And I am not afraid
And I am not afraid
And I am not afraid
And I am not afraid

    Song FactThe lyrics are not :
    "It's so perfect with a perfect kiss from your lips
    It's so perfect with a loving embrace"
    Instead they are :
    "It's arriving in a wave of violence
    it's arriving with an elegant grace".

    I think the song is clearly about humanity's (particularly those in charge) embracing total/self-destruction and HTDA's acceptance of this. Welcome oblivion.

    General CommentJooPe is right. This whole album is about the demise of our planet/species through AI, algorithms, technology, and interconnectivity, and how we allow it to happen. In some cases, "embracing" it.

    My InterpretationMy interpretation would be that she has just broken up with someone and now wants to forget him.

    The meaning of "Welcome oblivion" could both be:
    You there, welcome oblivion
    I will welcome oblivion
