Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
A key decode if you hear me if you hear me
A key decode if you hear me hear me out
I won't live without you
Lay down, I'll be your commander
Tie down, I wanna feel you under
You might implode how would I know?
Without you
You're a provider you're a feeder
You are the perfect marmalade
I wouldn't know how i wouldn't know how
Wouldn't know how to operate
But you're a stranger you're a stranger
You're a stranger
Sorry I won't make it to your birthday
Suddenly I realize
All this time, been on denial
Now I know I'm an island
Luckily you keep me on my feet
But the cost of it is me crushing you
Wish I didn't have to rely
Like you're my pillar, you're my pillar
Wish I didn't need you so bad
As my mirror, you're my mirror
I would give anything for any other way
For any other way
I would give anything for any other way
For any other way
The lyrics to LAFAWNDAH's song "Oasis" depict a complex relationship dynamic and a sense of reliance on another person. The recurring line, "A key decode if you hear me hear me out," suggests a plea for understanding and communication. It seems that the singer is trying to convey a message or unlock a deeper connection with their partner.
The following lines imply a deep attachment and need for the individual they are addressing. "I won't live without you" signifies that their life feels incomplete or impossible without this person. The lines "Lay down, I'll be your commander" and "Tie down, I wanna feel you under" express a desire for control and intimacy, indicating a strong emotional bond. However, there is also a sense of uncertainty and fear of losing this connection as expressed in the line, "You might implode how would I know? You're miles away I won't live without you."
The second half of the lyrics introduce conflicting feelings. The lines "You're a provider, you're a feeder" and "You are the perfect marmalade" depict the partner as nurturing and fulfilling. However, the subsequent line, "But you're a stranger," creates a contrast, suggesting that despite being close, there is still a sense of unfamiliarity or distance between them. The singer apologizes for not being able to attend the other person's birthday, indicating a hint of guilt or a barrier preventing full commitment.
The chorus reveals a realization on the singer's part. They acknowledge that they have been in denial and recognize their own independence, referring to themselves as an "island." However, they also express gratitude for the other person's support, stating "Luckily you keep me on my feet." The final lines convey a conflicting desire to have more autonomy and not rely so heavily on the other person, yet simultaneously yearning for their presence and considering them an essential reflective figure in their life.
Overall, "Oasis" explores a complex emotional landscape, highlighting themes of reliance, individuality, longing, and a fear of losing someone important.

Abruptly, I come to understand or become aware
All this time, been on denial
Throughout this period, I have been refusing to accept the truth or reality
Now I know I'm an island
Now, I understand that I am isolated or self-sufficient
Luckily you keep me on my feet
Fortunately, you support and stabilize me
But the cost of it is me crushing you
However, the consequence of this reliance is me overwhelming or burdening you
Wish I didn't have to rely
I desire not to be dependent or have to depend on someone
Like you're my pillar, you're my pillar
Similar to how a pillar provides strength and stability, you fulfill those roles for me
Wish I didn't need you so bad
I long for not having such a strong need or craving for you
As my mirror, you're my mirror
In the same way a mirror reflects one's image, you reflect and show me who I am
I would give anything for any other way
I am willing to sacrifice or trade anything for an alternative solution
For any other way
In pursuit of a different path or outcome
I would give anything for any other way
I am prepared to offer whatever it takes for a different approach or option
For any other way
In exchange for an alternative or different manner
