Colourhaus Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I give to you all of this
Eternity within a kiss
Oxygen oxygen
I need you more than oxygen
Oxygen oxygen
In this state of mind I feel
My spirit rise my body heal
Waiting for the touch of you
To bring to life the woman in my soul
You must be superman
Oh superman
Oxygen oxygen
I need you more than oxygen
Oxygen oxygen
Give me more than oxygen oh oh....
In this transcendental flow
We swim in rhythm letting go
Far off planets sensual
Lost in space, in time, in you
You must be superman
Oh superman
Oxygen oxygen
I need you more than oxygen
Oxygen oxygen
Give me more than oxygen oh oh....
The lyrics to Colourhaus's song Oxygen depict a deep and intense desire for love and connection. The first two lines state that the singer is offering their partner something eternal - "all of this" - within a single physical gesture: "a kiss." The verses then shift to a visceral desire for vitality and healing, which the singer seeks through their partner's touch: "Waiting for the touch of you / To bring to life the woman in my soul." This is paired with a sense of awe and admiration for their partner's power, either physical or metaphorical, embodied in the repeated refrain of "You must be superman / Oh superman."
The chorus then underscores the gravity of this connection, asserting that the singer needs their partner "more than oxygen." This draws a parallel between romantic love and the basic need for air, emphasizing the intensity of the singer's desires. The second time the chorus is repeated, it shifts to a pleading tone, asking for something more than just the bare necessity of survival: "Give me more than oxygen." The final verse adds a cosmic dimension to this longing, with the singers envisioning themselves "lost in space, in time, in you." Overall, Oxygen is a passionate tribute to the transformative power of love, and the ways in which it can sustain and inspire us.

This is the soundtrack to my early teens. Wow so great to hear these songs again, brings back great memories.
@dusterbuster
Still one of my all time fav CDs. Innocent child led me to discover the rest of the CD. Feather In The Fire is my #1. I Would Walk The Earth. Stone Roses. Moving Mountains. We Talk To The Angels - starts slow- but worth the wait. Mid 90s. Top down. Hot July summers. Damn. Time flies. And it ain't coming back. But I have this CD. Thanks Sherri
@davidmarksberry5970
Bought this CD while in Germany in the early 90's. Still a great listen. If it doesn't make you think about the person you're currently with...... you're with the wrong person.
@carloscarabello7931
True story: one of my closest friends made me a mix tape back in 1994 that had Moving Mountains on it. I had no idea who this band was until I did a little digging...now that I've heard this whole album...I actually like it
@christaylor839
Thank you! A "lost" great album!
@denismedvedev8214
Thank you for this.
@dmitritobias
i used to have the cassette. one of the few albums that i could listen from beginning to end. all songs is just great. but the hit single is innocent child here, dunno anywhere else.
@carloscarabello7931
I agree on that one, but "I Would Walk the Earth" would be the 2nd if they went further
@dmitritobias
@@carloscarabello7931 agreed. but what i meant was that in my country, we all knew the song Innocent Child, it was very popular back then, played on radio stations and discoteques.
