Cover art for Oblivion lyrics by Grimes

This song screams "Dominate me!" . Its about submissive girl who want a dominant partner!

"I never walk about, after dark, It's my point of view, Someone could break your neck, Coming up behind you always coming and you'd never have a clue" someone coming up behind means a desire for a dominant figure to take control unexpectedly.

"And now they look behind, all the time, I will wait forever, always looking straight, Thinking, counting, all the hours you wait" The shift to the third person ("they") means that are more than one person waiting for a chance to dominate her, while she is eagerly anticipating their arrival.

"See you on a dark night" This line continues to convey a longing for encounters with a dominant partner during nighttime, reinforcing the desire for a specific kind of intimate experience.

"And now another clue, I would ask, If you could help me out, It's hard to understand, Cause when you're really by yourself, It's hard to find someone to hold your hand" The mention of asking for help and expressing difficulty in understanding could imply a submissive plea for guidance and support from a dominant figure, that can take charge and provide comfort.

"And now it's gonna be, tough on me, But I will wait forever, "I need someone now to look into my eyes and tell me, Girl you know you gotta watch your health" The acknowledgment that it's going to be tough suggests a recognition of the challenges that may come with a submissive role, but the commitment to waiting forever reinforces the dedication to finding the right dominant partner, a care giver !

My Interpretation

@PhdCoder shut up. it doesn’t scream dominate me. It doesn’t scream submissive girl who wants a dom. Your mentality with this is the mindset and views of a rapist. I would know. I was raped. I wasn’t looking for someone to touch my chest and force me down and hold me there on my hands and knees on their cold floor until they (my best friend/lover now ex) were done.

“I never walk about, after dark, its my point of view, someone could break your neck, coming up behind you, and you’d never have a clue.”...
