Lost in Space
Oblivion Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You're born in a range of space, not ashamed to erase
Confronted by reality
Hiding your eyes from the facts
The past will bring some batches of conformity

Eyes closed, necrosed
Exposed, enclosed
Illusion of an escape, feelings recorded on a tape
Running after your tail

When you say sacrifice to their face
Discouraged by your ambitions
Same location, not horizon
You're right
No way...
Some day...

Lost in a place I don't know,
Lost in a land I don't grow
Shame... shame of what you survived
Where to die...
Or cry...
Shame on what you survived... survived...

Coward...
Waste of energy
Lack of euphoria
Those are the shores of entropy

When you say sacrifice to their face
Discouraged by your ambitions
Same location, not horizon
You're right
No way...
Some day...

Lost in a place I don't know
Lost in a land I don't grow
Shame... shame of what you survived
Where to die...
Or cry...
Shame on what you survived... survived...

Lost in a place I don't know
Lost in a land I don't grow
Anywhere

Lost in a place I don't know




Lost in a land I don't grow
Everywhere

Overall Meaning

These lyrics convey a sense of isolation, disillusionment, and a struggle against conformity. The opening lines suggest that the person being addressed was born in a limited space, possibly metaphorically representing a restrictive environment or mindset. They are urged to confront reality and abandon their tendency to hide from the truth. The reference to erasing and the mention of conformity may imply that the person has been conditioned to conform to societal norms and expectations.


The next lines, "Eyes closed, necrosed, Exposed, enclosed," highlight the person's closed-mindedness and lack of growth. Their refusal to see and explore new possibilities has led to a stagnation of their thoughts and perspectives. The mention of being "exposed and enclosed" could suggest a contradiction within them, feeling vulnerable yet restrained at the same time.


The lyrics then move on to describe the person's longing for an escape or a way out of their current situation. They have attempted to record their feelings, possibly as a means of catharsis or self-expression, but are constantly chasing after something elusive, represented by the phrase "running after your tail." This could imply a perpetual cycle of unfulfilled desires or frustrations.


The chorus, "Lost in a place I don't know, Lost in a land I don't grow, Shame... shame of what you survived, Where to die... Or cry... Shame on what you survived," expresses a deep sense of disorientation and regret. The person feels lost in an unfamiliar place, both physically and emotionally. They carry shame for what they have endured, unsure of whether to let go of it with resignation or express their emotions openly.


The repeated references to shame suggest a self-imposed burden of guilt or a sense of inadequacy that haunts the person. The lines "Coward... Waste of energy, Lack of euphoria, Those are the shores of entropy" further emphasize their self-critical mindset. The person feels like a coward, unable to channel their energy effectively and lacking in joy. The mention of "shores of entropy" suggests a state of decline or decay, as if they are trapped in a place where nothing progresses.


Overall, these lyrics depict a person who feels trapped, disconnected from their surroundings, and burdened by shame. They long for a change, but their discouragement, lack of direction, and internal struggles prevent them from moving forward. The repeated lines in the chorus indicate a pervasive feeling of being lost everywhere, meaning they cannot find a sense of belonging or purpose anywhere they go.
