Oblivion (The Movie) Soundtrack (Feat. Susanne Sundfor) Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But our love, was a song, sung by a dying swan
And in the night, you hear me calling
You hear me calling
And in your dreams, you see me falling, falling
Breathe in the light
I'll stay here in the shadow, oh
Higher and higher and higher
And when the nights are long
All those stars recall, your goodbye, your goodbye
And in the night, you'll hear me calling
You'll hear me calling
And in your dreams, you'll see us falling, falling
And in the night, you'll hear me calling
You'll hear me calling
And in your dreams, you'll see us falling, falling
Breathe in the light and say goodbye
Breathe in the light and say goodbye
The lyrics of "Oblivion" by M83 featuring Susanne Sundfor are poetic and reflective, conveying themes of love, loss, and longing. The opening line, "Since, I was young, I knew I'd find you" speaks to the idea of destiny and a sense of inevitability in finding one's true love. However, the following line, "But our love, was a song, sung by a dying swan" introduces a note of melancholy, implying that the love may be beautiful but also fleeting and fragile.
The chorus of the song, "Breathe in the light, I'll stay here in the shadow, waiting for a sign, as the tide grows, higher and higher and higher" underscores this sense of yearning and waiting for something that may never come, while the lines "All those stars recall, your goodbye, your goodbye" suggest that the singer is remembering a lost love.
The repeated lines "And in the night, you'll hear me calling, you'll hear me calling, And in your dreams, you'll see us falling, falling" add to the dreamlike quality of the song, as if the singer is speaking to a loved one who is no longer there, echoing into the void.
Overall, the lyrics of "Oblivion" are deeply emotional and evocative, tapping into universal feelings of love, loss, and hope.

Since I was young, I knew I'd find you
But our love was a song sung by a dying swan...
And in the night, you hear me calling
You hear me calling
And in your dreams you see me falling, falling...
Breathe in the light
I'll stay here in the shadow
Waiting for a sign, as the tide grows
Higher, and higher, and higher...
And when the nights are long
All those stars recall your goodbye, your goodbye...
And in the night you'll hear me calling
You'll hear me calling
And in your dreams you'll see us falling, falling...
Breathe in the light and say goodbye...

Просто людей с яркой фантазией и логическим мышлением меньше, чем тех кому нравятся комиксы🙃
