Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Not the same when you were too tired to grow it's in the way i've seen
That you never know your still afraid of running all by yourself and as
You sit and breathe you feel the oxygen sink like a stone pray that god
Will take you out of here but your still alone it's too late to bring
You out on your own but if you could see the way you breathe the oxygen
Is all you have we'll find a way times inbetween us yeah but i'm here
To stay there's still a fate to meet us your not the same i felt the
By yourself and as you sink you float away when your lifes a pawn the
World is gone your mind rolls on
God or Julie's song Oxygen speaks of finding a home alone in a world that has left the other person out on their own. While the other person has become too tired to grow, the singer has observed that the person is still afraid of running all by themselves. As they sit and breathe, they feel the oxygen sink like a stone and pray that God will take them out of there. Even though they are alone, the singer assures them that they will find a way and that they are here to stay. The song acknowledges the differences that have emerged between them but also suggests that there is still a fate to meet them.
The lyrics reflect a sense of alienation and an innate desire to seek comfort in someone else's presence. The singer seems to be acknowledging the other person's fear of being alone and is empathetic towards them. The image of oxygen sinking like a stone suggests a sense of suffocation and despair. The reference to God is a plea for divine intervention but also an acknowledgement of the uncertainty that comes with trying to navigate through life independently.
Overall, Oxygen is a moving song that speaks of the human desire for companionship in the face of loneliness and adversity.
