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.

Pure
Oblivion Dust Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
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.)
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.
