Oblivion
Soul Extract Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The future I negate
It's getting harder to lose control
The darkness will awake
A heart that oscillates
It's getting harder to lose control
This can't be what you asked for
Hear the silence it's hiding in
Dig in and get ready to fight
To kill this monster
Before it starts to wake
To end this nightmare
Before I start to break
Wasted a lifetime
Stuck inside the wait
Reaching a half-life
Starting to decay
Slow, the elements float away
As atoms separate
It's getting harder to keep control
Awareness will dissapate
Into a catatonic state
It's getting harder to keep control
Crawling into oblivion
This can't be what you asked for
Hear the silence it's hiding in
Dig in and get ready to fight
To kill this monster
Before it starts to wake
To end this nightmare
Before I start to break
Wasted a lifetime
Stuck inside the wait
Reaching a half-life
Starting to decay
To decay
To decay
Losing control
Losing control
Losing control
Losing control
Losing control

Control
The lyrics to Soul Extract's song "Oblivion" paint a picture of someone struggling to maintain control over their own mind and the darkness that lurks within. The song's opening lines, "Now, the ending has to wait, the future I negate," suggest a sense of hopelessness or futility in trying to escape whatever situation the singer finds themselves in. The repeated refrain of "It's getting harder to lose control" adds to this feeling of mounting pressure and desperation.
The theme of darkness and the struggle to overcome it is prominent throughout the song, with lyrics like "The darkness will awake, a heart that oscillates" and "Slow, the elements float away, as atoms separate." The singer seems to be fighting against the forces that threaten to consume them, and the line "Crawling into oblivion" gives the impression that they are on the edge of giving up. However, the closing lines of the song - "Losing control, losing control, losing control, control" - suggest that they are still fighting, still trying to maintain some semblance of agency over their own life.
Overall, "Oblivion" is a deeply introspective and emotional song that speaks to the human experience of struggling with inner demons and fighting to hold on to a sense of control and purpose.
