The band insists that, contrary to popular belief, they are are not actually named after physicist Robert Oppenheimer. Instead, they claim that their title was chosen purely on the basis of it sounding good.
In late 2009, the band announced their forthcoming split via their website, citing a changed level of passion and commitment they could give to the band. They are planning to release a farewell EP in early 2010 and will play their last live show at Belfast's Spring and Airbrake on December 19th 2009. Shaun will be taking 'new and different path in his life' while Rocky said his 'ideas, dreams and notions for writing, recording and touring are more alive and vibrant than ever.'.
Look Up
Oppenheimer Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Another metaphor to help you share the weight of this load
A certain person is the filler boy
And now it's curtains to the trip that you enjoy, you enjoyed
I know some people in the city
Never look up at the spaces in the buildings
That they walk past everyday
I swear some people in the city
Always look up at the spaces in the buildings
And the years this city describe
The emptyness that you're feeling in your lives
Always a point that you'll be truly sore
I held it back, held it back, too long, too long to ignore
I know some people in the city
Never look up at the spaces in the buildings
That they walk past everyday
And they say,
I swear some people in the city
Always look up at the spaces in the buildings
And the years this city describe
The emptyness that you're feeling in your lives
The song "Look Up" by Oppenheimer uses metaphors to talk about the human experience of feeling lost or unfulfilled in life. The first verse describes turning a corner on an open road, which can be seen as a symbol for a new direction in life. The metaphor of a "filler boy" suggests that someone or something has been filling a void in their life, but now it's time to face reality and move on. The line "it's curtains to the trip that you enjoy, you enjoyed" suggests that the enjoyable journey has come to an end and it's time to face the reality of the situation.
The chorus talks about how people in the city can either look up at the spaces in buildings or not. This can be interpreted as a metaphor for people either being aware of their surroundings and seeking meaning in life or just going through the motions without questioning anything. The line "and the years this city describe the emptiness that you're feeling in your lives" suggests that our environment reflects our internal state and that people may feel empty or unfulfilled when they are not living intentionally.
The second verse emphasizes the importance of taking action and not ignoring the point of true soreness. This can be seen as a metaphor for dealing with the root of our problems instead of avoiding them. Overall, the song "Look Up" encourages people to be more mindful and intentional in their lives and to seek meaning and fulfillment instead of just going through the motions.

I've never been more excited to watch a movie, ever since the Avengers Endgame. Oppenheimer is going to be breathtaking!

Really.... I thought endgame was a massive fuck you to infinity war. The idea of the avengers "losing" was shocking and then to loophole it with time travel 🙄

That shift in scale by Ludwig at 4:06, how the rhythm begins to climb, the melody changing and ascending, the instrumentation then speeding up until it reaches a triumphant climax at 4:46…this music is exquisite, emotionally powerful, and exhilarating…and fits with all the breathtaking imagery. The score is going to be something special. Wow!
Antione Lancelin
Absolutely! If you listen at 2:07 mark, you can hear air raid siren embedded through the music that will enough to chill you to the bone! Man i can't wait for this film and the soundtrack!
