Oxygen
Avion Roe Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Each beat is effortless
Like it's never been broken
(you'll never get it I won't stop forget it)
Watch I see the way you move
The light that shines off you won't
fade or keep me waiting
There's no sense making up
(There's no sense making up)
There's no sense making up
(There's no sense making)
Oxygen, when I'm all tied up it's the most I can do for you
Once again, I'm never alone, all we are is all behind us
There's something about you lately
Oxygen, you can not find love with me
I hate how you can pull me
Way down watch my heartbeat
Slow down I won't keep you waiting
And I've found bullshit when you
Throw down hold your own and
Know how to keep things complicated
(you'll never get it I won't stop forget it)
Oxygen, when I'm all tied up it's the most I can do for you
Once again, I'm never alone, all we are is all behind us
There's something about you lately
Oxygen, you can not find love with me
She clipped your wings and she let you down and
You sold your soul to leave the ground
(and you fly, you fly)
She clipped your wings and she let you down and
You saw your body leave the ground
(and you fly, and you fly)
She clipped your wings and she let you down and
You sold your soul to leave the ground
(and you fly, and you fly)
Oxygen, when I'm all tied up it's the most I can do for you
Once again, I'm never alone, all we are is all behind us
There's something about you lately
Oxygen, you can not find love with me
The lyrics of Avion Roe's song Oxygen speaks of the complexities of a relationship that has been broken and is being revived. The singer describes the effortless beating of his lover's heart and their captivating movements. However, he is torn between the feelings of being restrained and the need to feel liberated. The repetition of the line "you'll never get it I won't stop forget it" could symbolize the struggles and fears that are present in the relationship. There is an indication of the need for honesty and complexity in the relationship, which, in turn, complicates the situations between them. The singer feels ostracized, and despite wanting to be loved by his partner, he comes to terms with the fact that they may not have a future together.
The bridge of the song focuses on the idea of clipped wings, which could be interpreted as the pain of having to let go of a love that is toxic or unhealthy. And despite every effort made to salvage it, it remains unattainable as both parties are unable to find a common ground. The song ends with an acknowledgment of the singer's admiration of his lover, but at the same time, the realization that love may not be enough to keep them together.
