Oblivion
Royal Blood Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Fire In my lungs, I'm spun, walking on wire
In delirium, descending higher and higher
(Can't live like this forever) running out of love lines
Going hell for leather but just one last ride

'Cause Gravity's pulling me down
This time I've got myself found
But just before I turn out the lights

Tonight I ain't stopping for nothing
My devil is done into oblivion (oblivion)
If I had it coming, too close to the sun
Into oblivion (oblivion)

Visions of the future, crystal inside
My personal apocalypse finally arrived
(Just a fella in the weather)
Yeah, lost in the wild
Won't live like this forever
Putting my world to rest

Tonight I ain't stopping for nothing
My devil is done into oblivion (oblivion)
If I had it coming, too close to the sun
Into oblivion (oblivion)

Somewhere I lost my way (oblivion)
Let myself come to rust (oblivion)
Can't seem to change my fate (oblivion)
Oblivion, oblivion

I ain't stopping for nothing
My devil is done into oblivion (oblivion)
If I had it coming, too close to the sun
Into oblivion, (oblivion), oblivion

(Oblivion)

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Royal Blood's song Oblivion are quite deep and emotional. The song talks about feeling lost, losing oneself in the wild and feeling like one is walking on a wire. The artist talks about descending higher and higher into delirium, and being pulled down to reality by gravity. In this state of confusion, the artist feels as if he/she is running out of time and love lines, and is unable to live like this forever. The lyrics then talk about the artist coming to a place of agreement and resolution with themselves. They realize that they have found themselves this time, but before they turn out the lights and let go, they want to take one final ride.


The most significant lines of the song are "My devil is done into oblivion, If I had it coming, too close to the sun, Into oblivion." These lyrics personify the devil that has driven the artist towards oblivion. The devil is portrayed as an act of self-discovery, a point of critical vulnerability, personal apocalypse, or simply a dark phase that the artist was feeling. The act of reaching the oblivion state feels like coming to terms with one's fate and letting go, even if it means accepting that one might be too close to the sun. The song's lyrics are quite relatable to most people, as everyone goes through a phase of emotional turmoil and confusion at some point in their lives.

Lyrics:-
Fire in my lungs, I'm spun
Walking on wire
In delirium, descending higher and higher

Can't live like this forever
Running out of lifelines
Going hell for leather for just one last ride

This gravity's pulling me down
It's time I got myself found
But just before I turn out the light

Tonight I ain't stopping for nothing
My devil is done, into oblivion (Oblivion)
Yeah, I had it coming
Too close to the sun, into oblivion (Oblivion)

Visions of the future, crystal in sight
My personal apocalypse finally arrived
Just a feather in bad weather
Yeah, lost in the wild
Can't live like this forever
Putting my world to rights

Tonight I ain't stopping for nothing
My devil is done, into oblivion (Oblivion)
Yeah, I had it coming
Too close to the sun, into oblivion (Oblivion)

Somewhere I lost my way
Let myself go to waste
Can't seem to change my fate
Oblivion
Oblivion

Ain't stopping for nothing
My devil is done, into oblivion (Oblivion)
Yeah, I had it coming
Too close to the sun, into oblivion (Oblivion)
(Oblivion)
(Oblivion)
(Oblivion)
(Oblivion)
