Lars Chriss was hired as producer for this big album project. I wanted to create an album filled with good melodic hardrock and heavy metal with uplifting lyrics. On top of that I wanted to invite great musicians I look up to and respect for their great talents and create a top notch production. The result speaks for it self!
Musically we get Hard Rock with an at times pretty strong Metal influence, which shows the variability of Christian, as NARNIA are rather neo-classically influenced and DIVINEFIRE fire off the heavy Bombast Power Metal mortar and almost all songs have one thing in common, the pretty heavy guitars, which bring in a nice heaviness, but without neglecting the catchiness (never drifting off into sappiness, though), but keeping the quality very high at all times.
Love Is Like Oxygen
Audiovision Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I got it all
I've heard that pride
Always comes before a fall
There's a rumour goin' round the town
That you don't want me around
I can't shake off my city blues
Everyway I turn I lose
Chorus
Love is like oxygen
You get too much you get too high
Not enough and you're gonna die
Love gets you high
Time is no healer
When you're not there
Lonely fever
Sad words in the air
Some things are better left unsaid
I'm gonna spend my days in bed
I'll walk the streets at night
To be hidden by the city lights city lights
The opening lines of Love Is Like Oxygen by Audiovision portray the singer as a confident and content individual who seems to have everything on their side. However, the mention of pride and the subsequent reference to a rumour in town suggests that there may be some troubles brewing beneath the surface. As the lyrics progress, the singer admits to feeling blue and losing in every direction they turn. This sense of being lost and alone brings to mind the idea of pride coming before a fall, which was hinted at in the opening lyrics.
The chorus mentions how love is like oxygen - you need the right amount of it to survive. Too much and it can have a detrimental effect, but not enough means you could die. This comparison highlights the importance of balance in love and the role it plays in one's life. The second verse discusses the aftermath of a breakup and how time isn't always a healer. The singer is left feeling lonely and hears only sad words in the air - this could mean that they hear only negative things being said about them, or they're reminded of their lost love. The song concludes with the singer saying they'll spend their days in bed and walk the streets at night to be hidden by the city lights.
Overall, Love Is Like Oxygen by Audiovision speaks to the importance of balance in love and how too much or too little of it can affect a person's well-being. The song also touches upon the aftermath of a breakup and how it can leave a person feeling lost and alone.
