Their final line-up in that period consisted of:
Ken Lloyd (vocals)
Kaz Iwaike (guitar)
Masaru Yoshida (guitar, formerly support guitar)
Rikiji Masuda (bass)
Souta Furuton (drums)
In September 2007 Ken, Kaz and Rikiji reunited and performed at a couple of concerts in Japan, when a new Oblivion Dust album was announced to come. This album is planned to be released in January 2008 along with a bonus DVD containing footage from those concerts.
During the Oblivion Dust hiatus, most - if not all - of the members continued to work in the music industry. Notably, both Kaz and Furuton have backed up HYDE and Ken Lloyd founded a band called FAKE? along with Inoran.

Going Nowhere
Oblivion Dust Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Now you're falling
You're crawling
Trapped under emotional slide
You hide
Tell me is it the guilt that smothers you
Covers your love and gives you away in the end
It's a shame that you're going nowhere
It's a shame that you're going nowhere
It's a shame that you're going nowhere
You are what you create
Hypocrisy and hate
Satisfied I'm so sure of your own instability
You hide
You are an incest
Too small to detect
Existing only to be crushed into the ground
Oh what a sound
It's a shame that you're going nowhere
It's a shame that you're going nowhere
It's a shame that you're going nowhere
Did you think you were going somewhere?
Did you think you were going somewhere?
Did you think you were going somewhere?
It's a shame that you're going nowhere
The lyrics of Oblivion Dust's song Going Nowhere seem to describe someone who feels trapped and hopeless, unable to escape their emotions and their own sense of guilt. The opening lines paint a picture of the person feeling suffocated and confined, unable to find any sense of vitality or purpose within themselves. The imagery of falling and crawling suggests a sense of powerlessness and struggle, as if the person is fighting to break free from their own emotional burden.
The chorus repeats the phrase "It's a shame that you're going nowhere," putting emphasis on the sense of stasis and lack of progress that the person is experiencing. The second verse takes a more critical tone, accusing the person of being hypocritical and hateful, and suggesting that they are trapped in this cycle of self-defeat because they are too small and insignificant to make a difference. The line "Existing only to be crushed into the ground" is particularly potent, implying a sense of futility and hopelessness that is difficult to escape.
Overall, the lyrics of Going Nowhere seem to be a meditation on the ways in which we can get trapped in our own emotions, and the difficulty of breaking out of persistent negative patterns. The song suggests that we are often our own worst enemies, and that it takes a conscious effort to push past our own limitations and find a sense of purpose and direction.
