Oblivion
Evil Invaders Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Affection or anger
Nothing can withstand the fall of time
This world keeps turning
harmonious or burning
Depends on how many step over the line
Lives in denial
Closing our eyes
Once in the future
Now in the past
The wheel keeps on turning, nothing will last
Burn!
From fire to ashes,
As darkness declares the black dawn,
Laughter falls silent and fades in despair,
Memories vanish, no one left to care
No control
But none realize
We buried our future existence and life
Into the abyss
Beyond the sky
Oblivion
Everything dies
Praise our profanity,
From diamonds to rust,
Earth will crumble, all turns to dust
Nothing remains
We went too far
Just shattered spirits and fallen stars
Oh, cant you see?
Retribution
Were going to bleed
Solo Mayhem
Driven by ignorance
Loaded with greed
Crushed till the limit
Bounds we exceed
Forced to collapse
By our very own hands
Profit has outplayed
The common sense
What is the prize
We are going to pay
Was it all worth it?
Lust for decay
The clock is ticking
We cannot pretend
Justice is calling
We draw near the end
Solo Mayhem
No control
But none realize
We buried our future existence and life
Into the abyss
Beyond the sky
Oblivion
Everything dies
The lyrics to Evil Invaders' song "Oblivion" delve into the themes of time, destruction and the inevitable fall of humanity. The opening lines "Burden, fortune, affection or anger, nothing can withstand the fall of time" suggest that time is the ultimate force that prevails over everything. It is something that no one can escape, whether one has riches, love or hatred. The following line "This world keeps turning, harmonious or burning, depends on how many step over the line" further highlights the idea that our actions have an impact on the world around us. If we cross certain lines, the world will burn and fall, but if we live in harmony, it can continue to turn.
As the song progresses, the lyrics become more intense, describing the process of decay and loss. Lines such as "From fire to ashes, as darkness declares the black dawn" and "Memories vanish, no one left to care" suggest a bleak and depressing future where everything will eventually succumb to oblivion. The finale of the song reiterates this idea with the lines "Into the abyss, Beyond the sky, Oblivion, Everything dies" painting a picture of a world that is ultimately doomed to fade into darkness.
Overall, "Oblivion" is a powerful song that reflects on the fragile nature of humanity and the inevitable fall of all things. It is a reminder that we need to be aware of our actions and how they impact the world around us, and that ultimately, time waits for no one.
