Oxygen
Headhunterz Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Walls are closing in
I know time is running out
See the medics rushing in
Give me oxygen

I can not breathe in
As long as you are not around
You're the only medicine
Give me oxygen
(Give me oxygen)

Give me oxygen (Oxygen)

Give me oxygen (Oxygen)

Give me oxygen
(Give me oxygen)

Walls are closing in
I know time is running out
See the medics rushing in
Give me oxygen

I can not breathe in
As long as you are not around
You're the only medicine
Give me oxygen

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Headhunterz's song Oxygen appear to be a plea addressed to a loved one who is absent or perhaps on the verge of leaving. The singer is fixated on the idea that their world is closing in and that they feel trapped and unable to breathe. This metaphorical suffocation is described as being alleviated by the presence of the person they are addressing, and they are pleading with this person to supply them with the life-sustaining oxygen they need to survive. The metaphor of oxygen being likened to love or the presence of the person they long for is a powerful one, and the lyrics succeed in conveying a sense of desperation and longing.


The lyrics are simple in their construction, and rely heavily on repetition to drive home the message of the song. This repetition is also reflected in the instrumental components of the track, with a pulsating beat and electrifying melody that intensifies the urgency of the lyrics. The combination of these two elements makes for a powerful and emotionally charged song. Overall, the lyrics to Oxygen are a beautifully vivid and resonant depiction of the longing and desperation that can arise when we feel cut off from the ones we love.

Last summer I heard this at the WKND festival and I was in front line. When I heard this I stop jumping and I just stood there for a moment. I realized how emotional this song is and one of my favourite DJ's is standing 4m away from me
