Oblivion
Ash Code Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

It's a very cloudy morning,
I face my memories in a warm tea
The heat blurs my eyes and I can't find my need
So many regrets but I swallow my pride
There's no sound, there's no time

Oblivion... that's my oblivion

Every fucking morning I dive in a black sea
Forgetting almost everything about the world around me
Frozen in the moment with a joy inside
I'm glad to be sedated I'm losing my mind

Oblivion... that's my oblivion

Oblivion... that's my oblivion

INSTRUMENTAL

Oblivion... that's my oblivion

That's my oblivion

That's my oblivion
