Surfacing
Oblivion Machine Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

At the dawn
Under ring of silver bells
Something's wrong
Behind the window something tells
Atmosphere
And the colours seem so strange
Something's here
Landing lights, I can't explain

In our dreams
Came to us so silently
Burden seems
Was split up imperously
Taking my hand
Saying everything was done
Follow her plan
As I waited for the one...

Now the time has stopped
Heartbeat pulse with Universe
At last there is no senseless thoughts

Everything on Earth
Just heavy muddled dream
At last welcome to eternity

Prepare to embark
Clouds beckon charming us
The wind is bringing us to true haven

Let me see your eyes
Let me dive deep like a child
It's time to be reborn to start
So come'on goodbye
All is behind, everything's alright
Enjoy the flight and gaze into the stars

Now we're saved...

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Oblivion Machine's song Surfacing describe a moment of transcendence and rebirth. The first verse sets the stage with an eerie atmosphere, suggesting that something otherworldly is about to happen. The second verse introduces a female figure who seems to guide the singer comfortingly through an experience that is initially unsettling. Finally, the chorus describes the release of earthly burdens and the freedom to embark on a new journey into the unknown.


The song's structure mirrors this sense of transformation, starting with a slow and haunting introduction before building to a more upbeat and triumphant chorus. The lyrics themselves are poetic and ambiguous, inviting listeners to imagine their own interpretation of the imagery and emotions they convey. Combined with the band's layered, atmospheric sound, Surfacing creates a sense of otherworldliness that transports listeners to a different plane of existence.


Overall, Surfacing is a powerful and evocative song that speaks to our universal yearning for transcendence and renewal.


Line by Line Meaning

At the dawn
As the sun begins to rise


Under ring of silver bells
Amidst the chime of bells with a metallic tint


Something's wrong
A feeling of unease seeps in


Behind the window something tells
An ominous presence lurks outside the window


Atmosphere
The mood and feeling in the air


And the colours seem so strange
The hues appear different and unsettling


Something's here
Presence of something looming


Landing lights, I can't explain
Mysterious and inexplicable landing lights


In our dreams
Appeared in dreams


Came to us so silently
Entered our consciousness without making a sound


Burden seems
A sense of responsibility lies ahead


Was split up imperiously
Was divided with complete authority


Taking my hand
Holding my hand and guiding me


Saying everything was done
Assuring that everything was already completed


Follow her plan
Carry out her instructions


As I waited for the one...
Anticipating the arrival of the awaited one


Now the time has stopped
Time has ceased to exist


Heartbeat pulse with Universe
Heartbeat in sync with the universe


At last there is no senseless thoughts
Finally, a state of mind without pointless thoughts


Everything on Earth
All earthly things


Just heavy muddled dream
Nothing more than a confused, heavy dream


At last welcome to eternity
Finally entering eternity


Prepare to embark
Brace yourself for the journey


Clouds beckon charming us
The clouds allure and captivate us


The wind is bringing us to true haven
The wind is propelling us towards the true safe haven


Let me see your eyes
Let me look into your eyes


Let me dive deep like a child
Allow me to explore deeply, like a child


It's time to be reborn to start
It's time for a new beginning and to start anew


So come'on goodbye
So let's say goodbye


All is behind, everything's alright
Leaving everything behind, everything will be okay


Enjoy the flight and gaze into the stars
Enjoy the journey and marvel at the stars


Now we're saved...
Finally, we are saved
