Oblivion Lyrics

first, i'm pretty sure it says "in the night" in stead of "even now" (which would also make sense with the star theme as well as the mention of dreams).

and second, when i first saw oblivion and heard this song in the end credits, i didn't even like the song. but now that i own the soundtrack and can listen to it on headphones, i find myself listening to this song over and over. i can't stop. i love it. it's so beautiful.

anyway, i agree that it's based on the movie oblivion (which i can't really talk about without spoiling it for those who haven't seen it - so see it! lol) and i also think it's one of those songs that can be easily molded to fit the situation the listener is in. it can be about the death of a loved one, or it can be about a break up, but either way, i think it's definitely about the beauty of a relationship and looking back on it and being grateful for the time you shared even though it's over. beautiful :)
