Pure
Oblivion Dust Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Stab it in me
Inspiration
Got so little to hold onto

Let me know that I would love to
Throw some acid on top of you

I want to be so pure
I want to be so pure
Cut you up and rearrange you
I want to be so pure

Justify the things I do
By burning images of me and you
I'm back again
Back again

Tint the mirror black and blue now
Burn the images in petrol fumes
I'm inside of you now

I want to be so pure
I want to be so pure
Cut you up and rearrange you
I want to be so pure

I want to be so pure
I want to be so pure
Cut you up and rearrange you
I want to be so...





So pure...
(etc.)

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Oblivion Dust's song "Pure" convey a desire for purity, though it is presented in a dark and twisted manner. The opening lines, "Stab it in me, inspiration, got so little to hold onto," suggest a desperation for something to hold onto, something that can inspire and drive the singer. However, this desperation takes a disturbing turn in the next lines, "Let me know that I would love to, throw some acid on top of you." Here, the singer expresses a violent urge to destroy and manipulate, implying a deep-seated anger or frustration.


The chorus, "I want to be so pure, cut you up and rearrange you," encapsulates the central theme of the song. The desire for purity is juxtaposed with a disturbing urge to dismantle and rearrange everything, including the subject of the singer's emotions. This highlights a contradictory mindset, where purity is sought through destructive means.


The second verse continues to explore this theme, with lines like "Justify the things I do by burning images of me and you." Here, the singer suggests that burning the memories and images of their relationship is a way to rationalize their actions. The line, "I'm back again, back again," implies a cycle of destructive behavior, hinting at a pattern of seeking purity but ultimately falling back into the destructive mindset.


Overall, the lyrics of "Pure" delve into the complex and dark nature of the singer's desires for purity, emphasizing the destructive tendencies that accompany this longing.
