In that short space of time they released 5 albums and 11 singles. Their sound is very influenced by early 90's american bands, like Nirvana and Nine Inch Nails, but with a trademark sonority that makes the band very unique.

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.

(Don't need to be unhappy
So please don't cry
We're already there
We're gonna be so...)

kizutsuite naoshite no kuri kaeshi da yo
samishisou na kanjite tsubuyaite ita ne
itsu kara naiteru no?

kokoro nante koware yasui omocha da yo
mae ni susumitaku nante mo osareteru yo
tomaranai namida mo itsu ka kawaku yo

Don't need to be unhappy
kioku wo nemurasete
We're gonna be so happy
hikari shimi komase

kawaru koto wo osorezu jibun wo tsutsumi konde
rikai sarenai hodo utsukushiku narou yo

Don't need to be unhappy
itami wo keshi satte
We're gonna be so happy
minna to kagayaite

Lullabye for you
Lullabye for you

Don't have to be lonely
Don't have to be all alone
mou me wo tojite mo
nani mo kowakunai hazu sa

(Don't need to be unhappy
We need to be free
But we're already there

We're gonna be so happy
So happy...so happy...)

Overall Meaning

The song Lullabye by Oblivion Dust is a comforting tribute to those who are feeling unhappy and lonely. The lyrics in the first verse suggest that there is no need to be unhappy and cry because they are already there, wherever that may be, and they are going to be happy. The following lines indicate that the person the song is directed towards has been hurt and feels lonely, but the singer wants to reassure them that they will mend their wounds and make them feel better. The chorus talks about creating happy memories together and filling their lives with light, so that they can forget the pain they've experienced.

The second verse encourages the person to embrace change and not be afraid to wrap themselves up and protect themselves. The lyrics suggest that by doing so, they will become more beautiful and others will admire them. The verse ends by saying that everyone is waiting for them and that they will bring them along with them. The chorus then repeats the message of happiness and togetherness, with the words "Lullabye for you" expressing the kindness and protection that the singer is offering. The final lines of the song reinforce the message that the person should not be unhappy and that they should be free to embrace their lives.
