Oxygen
Robin Schulz & Winona Oak Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Passion makes me paranoid
Jealousy can make you blind
Lookin' hard for something wrong
Where trouble searches trouble finds

I need you like oxygen
Tie you to me breathe you in
Prove it to me once again

Show me you love me
You know I get scared
I'm not just broken
I'm beyond repair
Tell me you need me
You know I get scared
Make me forget that
I'm beyond repair
Ooh, ooh

Everything is triggering
Dealing with a damaged mind
Somethin' 'bout your fingertips, they calm me down
When I overran the lines

I, I need you like oxygen
Tie you to me breathe you in
Prove it to me once again

Show me you love me
You know I get scared
I'm not just broken
I'm beyond repair
Tell me you need me
You know I get scared
Make me forget that
I'm beyond repair

E-, never, never
E-, never, get it
E-, never, never
E-, never
E-, never, never
E-, never
E-, never, never
Ooh, ooh

Never, never, never, ever stop
'Cause I will never, never, ever get enough
Show me you love me
Enough
Enough
Enough

I'm in pieces, I'm in pieces
Can you see it?
I'm in pieces, I'm in pieces
Darling, please stress

Show me you love me
You know I get scared
I'm not just broken
I'm beyond repair
Tell me you need me
You know I get scared
Make me forget that
I'm beyond repair

E-, never, never
E-, never, get it
E-, never, never
E-, never
E-, never, never
E-, never
E-, never, never
Ooh, ooh

Never, never, never, ever stop
'Cause I will never, never, ever get enough
Show me you love me

Overall Meaning

The song "Oxygen" by Robin Schulz & Winona Oak is a beautiful, yet melancholic ode to the fear of losing someone you love. In the first verse, the lyrics describe the feelings of paranoia and jealousy that can arise as a result of deep passion, leading to the search for trouble even when there might not be any. This search often results in finding issues that can damage the relationship further. The chorus, "I need you like oxygen, tie you to me, breathe you in, prove it to me once again" conveys the sense of desperation and longing for the person's love and assurance, just like the need for oxygen to survive.


The second verse focuses on the idea that things that wouldn't typically trigger any emotional response, suddenly become unsettling when dealing with a damaged mind. The song's theme is that of being deeply hurt and broken by past experiences, leading to feelings of being beyond repair. The lyrics, "Make me forget that I'm beyond repair" highlight the need for reassurance and love from the person they require. The bridge and the final chorus combining the same lyrics signify that the need for love and reassurance is rampant and never-ending due to the fear and damage caused by past experiences. Everyone wants to feel loved and cared for, especially when they have been hit with disappointments and broken hearts.

@Monnii29

I have had 31 years of my life with a multitude of going through traumatic events/experiences.

Of every song I have ever listened to all my life....
I haven't ever connected with anything such as "Oxygen"...

My boyfriend came into my life 6 years ago.

He's the only person in the world to see past the scars left behind from monstrous people from childhood on up...
He has seen past all those scars and has loved me unconditionally for who I am...
Thru all my good and bad.

I'm so touched by every lyric in this song.

Thank you for writing it...

Thank you for signing it.

Thank your producers audio & video for recording it.
