Oblivion
I Pariah Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
A population of calculated manipulation
Medicated with synthetic adoration
Industrial mass incarceration
Oblivion
All hail humanities downfall
Light the match and watch it crumble
The machine inhales all fear
Fueled by broken hearts and dispair
Lead along like a lamb to the slaughter
Inoculated and comatose
Complicit sacrifice to their masters
Another dead fucking soldier in a sea of martyrs
The next great flood will be an ocean of blood.
Are we free
Are we alive
What is your life worth to you '
Cuz this is worth dying for!
Let it all fucking burn
Oblivion
All hail humanities downfall
Light the match and watch it burn
A pathologically immoral deity
Consequences of complacency
Inescapable crucible of apathy
Breathing life into treachery
Rabid pundits foaming at the mouth
Pushing diseased ridden fingers, into open infected wounds
Before scars can form
They're ripping us apart and pouring poison in our hearts
Are we free
Are we alive
What is your life worth to you
Because this is worth dying for
Oblivion
This is oblivion
The only way out is through the gates of hell
All hail humanity's downfall
Light the match and watch it crumble/burn
Watch it burn
The lyrics to I Pariah's song "Oblivion" depict a dark and bleak view of society, where manipulation and control have taken over. The singer describes the population as being manipulated and medicated with artificial love, while the systems of mass incarceration continue to imprison people. The singer calls for the downfall of humanity and to watch it crumble, as they feel that the world is inhaling fear and fueled by broken hearts and despair. They urge the listener to question if they are truly alive and free, and to consider what their life is worth to them in a world where complacency leads to consequences and apathy is the norm.
The song is a commentary on the state of the world today and the way in which society has become robotic and detached, with people feeling powerless and unable to make a difference. The singer sees oblivion and destruction as the only way out, and urges the listener to light the match and watch it all burn. They describe a society where pundits and politicians are foaming at the mouth with greed and power, and where people are being torn apart and poisoned from within. The lyrics are a call to action for people to wake up and fight against the systems that control and oppress them, and to take a stand for what they believe in.

This song is simply a masterpiece!!! The only thing (in music generally) is the fade out at the end. Every song with fade out feels like something is missing.
But anyway, MASTERPIECE!
