Feeling Oblivion Lyrics
Cubscouts are screaming,
Needing icescreaming & all the pleasures of June
I’m in a parked car.
Flowers seem friendly & people in hall ways feel walls.
Now it is night time maybe we’re cruising avoiding the anti-cruise.
Oh I don’t really know where we are.
If things get real promise to take me somewhere else,
By the time fear takes me over will we still be rolling & feeling oblivion.
Once in a while the lie in the laughter can burn through a hole in my ears,
Like a man with glasses catching a sunbeam and burning the skin of a kid.
Hypereal fragments disturbing the stagnants of almighty fear.
Well I’ll just go under the water.
If things get real promise to take me somewhere else,
By the time fear takes me over will we still be rolling & feeling oblivion.
So don’t leave me here on my own.
So don’t leave me here on my own.
If things get real promise to take me somewhere else,
By the time fear takes me over will we still be rolling & feeling oblivion.
this song pretty much reminds of the first and last time i tried X."If things get real promise to take me somewhere else, By the time fear takes me over will we still be rolling & feeling oblivion. "
I think it is about having the perfect summer just inside your head, doing whatever you want and nothing matters. 'If things get real promise to take me somewhere else,' As soon as things get too real take me somewhere I can be in my own head again. That's what I think :)
I keep coming back to this tune since it's release in 2001, but I've never really tried to make sense of it. Now that I look at it, it looks like it's about being high in one form or another. Strange that I didn't see it before with a title like "Feeling Oblivion". The term "rolling" could either be referring to taking ecstasy or driving/cruising. Maybe they meant both as they refer to cruising earlier in the tune. "Flowers seem friendly", "fear takes me over", "I don't really know where we are" all seem suspiciously drug related to me.
Damn those lucky kids that just got out of school and have a whole worry-free summer ahead of them. Definitely an "ignorance is bliss" sort of viewpoint, but I think it's more about having someone else there to take the wheel while you cope though.
It's a portrait of summer, of driving around with someone you rather like.. Perhaps trying to escape self-consciousness? Maybe by getting drunk. "oblivion". Dunno but it makes me feel so warm to hear the first minute, always reminds me of the summer I first heard the album. (Well-timed release).
Honestly i think its just about getting stoned. I guess in the summer. will we still be rolling and feeling oblivion?
God, this song rules. BUT i just cant get my head around all the imagery. Can someone please interpret for me?
PLEASE! Someone tell me what they reckon this is about! It hurts my head...:D
hmmm reading thru the lyrics it seems pretty trippy but who knows...
