Oblivion
J.J. Liefers Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And your world is caving in
You say you′re slipping away
Out that's not the way it is
Tonight my eyes won′t close when I sleep
Need to catch your dreams in mine
As you're drifting away
I know it burns that you gotta stay
You have to choose what you feel
Hide behind the sun
In Oblivion
I see your face in the sky
When the clouds are coming in
It's raining tears from your eyes
And it all begins again
It′s nice to catch your face with a smile
But you turn the page and keep it inside
Now I know your heart needs time to decide - it′s all right
I hear your voice when you walk away...
It's up to you now don′t forget
You cannot loose what you never had
I know you're on the run
Hide behind the sun
In Oblivion
The lyrics of J.J. Liefers's song Oblivion describe the struggles of a relationship at a crossroads. The singer of the song is trying to understand their partner's emotional state as they seem to be slipping away. Despite their attempts to catch their dreams and keep them close, they feel like their partner is hiding behind a façade, trying to escape their problems. The singer sees their partner's pain during their struggles and tries to empathize, but ultimately realizes that the decision to stay or leave is up to them. The song suggests that sometimes it's necessary to retreat and hide in oblivion to find clarity and make difficult decisions.
Throughout the song, Liefers inserts various metaphors to describe the complexity of the situation. The phrase "hide behind the sun in Oblivion" suggests the idea of escapism - using the heat of the sun to create a protective barrier. The use of "raining tears from your eyes" gives the impression that the struggles in the relationship are cyclical and that it may be difficult to break the pattern. Overall, the message of the song is one of hope; even though it may be difficult to choose between staying and leaving, it is important to remember that it's possible to find peace in oblivion.

I feel your temperature rise
I can sense your frustration and distress
And your world is caving in
You feel like everything is falling apart around you
You say you're slipping away
You feel you're losing control and yourself
Out that's not the way it is
But that's not really the case
Tonight my eyes won't close when I sleep
I can't sleep because I'm worried about you
Need to catch your dreams in mine
I want to share your hopes and aspirations
As you're drifting away
As you're pulling away from me
I hear your voice when you walk away
I hear the sadness in your voice as you leave
I know it burns that you gotta stay
I know it hurts that you feel like you can't leave
You have to choose what you feel
You have to follow your heart
Hide behind the sun
You're trying to hide from your problems
In Oblivion
In a state of forgetfulness and unawareness
I see your face in the sky
I think of you when I see the clouds
When the clouds are coming in
When there's trouble ahead
It's raining tears from your eyes
You're crying a lot lately
And it all begins again
The cycle of sadness continues
It's nice to catch your face with a smile
It's good to see you happy
But you turn the page and keep it inside
But you hide your feelings and keep them to yourself
Now I know your heart needs time to decide - it's all right
Now I understand that you need time to make your decision and that's okay
It's up to you now don't forget
The decision is yours to make
You cannot loose what you never had
You can't lose something that you didn't have in the first place
I know you're on the run
I know you're trying to escape from your problems
Hide behind the sun
Trying to avoid facing your challenges
In Oblivion
In a state of unconsciousness and unawareness
