Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Pushing my plate off to the side
Nobody even reaching out
Do they even care if I'm around
With the
Spicy taste of liquor on my tongue
Falling into the sweet nothing oblivion
Lights flashing with music
That's what I believe
Behind my back I've got voices
Speaking the evil of people and rumours
They're just jealous or maybe they're clueless
I don't wanna see
You gotta know one thing about me
Is that the words that you say
I throw them away and replace them with the pain
You gotta know one thing that I see
Whispers, backlashes
I all know what that is
I'm not that gullible you see
What into the room of crowded people cmon let's go
Downing neat tequila with the lemon wanna let go
Falling into pattern with the people that I don't know, don't know
Yeah
Dizzy with the lights they all dancing on the right side
Keeping with the rhythm wanna know what it feels like
Slipping into silence, talking and I don't like
Don't like
How the puzzle piece never fitted
Drinking was always the way they related
In darkness confessing their hatred
I don't wanna see
Feels like they don't care
Never got a stare
Just drink till they're dead
Till they're dead
Feels like they don't care
Never got a stare
Just drink till they're dead
Till they're dead
"Oblivion" by Musikverein Bad Urach 1992 e.V. is a song about feeling trapped and addicted to something that is both complicated and unknown. The singer is sedated by their dream of the unknown, and they are afraid of letting go because they are addicted to this feeling. However, they are also aware that they don't want to cry anymore and want to move beyond the pain they are feeling. They want to dance on fire until they see the sun, and they are surrendering fully to the object of their addiction.
The lyrics suggest that the object of the singer's addiction is a person, who they describe as a "sacred prison" and a "new religion." This person has brought the singer to their knees, and they are willing to give everything to them, including their surrender. The repetition of the phrase "I don't wanna cry anymore" reinforces the singer's desire to move beyond their pain and find a sense of release, even if it means giving themselves fully to their addiction.
Overall, "Oblivion" is a song that explores the complex emotional terrain of addiction, surrender, and release. It suggests that these feelings can be both beautiful and dangerous, and that the ultimate result of giving yourself fully to another person is a kind of oblivion, a state of being where you lose yourself entirely in the presence of the other.
