Oblivion
Tantrum feat. Solah Desire Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Every little bit of our world
Way back to the start, such a new sensation
Never felt like it was over
You're oh all I could think of
I know I don't wanna move on
If time, time is a healer
Take, take, take you for a ride
Rewind everything if I could
Nowhere to run but I'm stood
Get me out of oblivion
Take, take me home to the start
There's something there that can help us
So close but ever so far
Get me out of oblivion
In "Oblivion" by Tantrum feat. Solah Desire, the songwriter reminisces on the beauty of the past, the thrill of early love. They yearn for a time when everything felt new and boundless; for a relationship that remains trapped in time. The song's haunting melody and the use of repetition in the lyrics, particularly in the chorus, underscore this longing for what once was, creating a sense of desire to return to a happier place. At the core of the song lies the recognition that the present is not as exciting as it could be compared to the exciting past, and as a result, there is an overwhelming desire to reclaim what was lost.
The chorus begs for a return to the beginning, a plea for a time machine to take the writer back to an epoch when everything felt new and exciting. The use of the word "oblivion" in the title conveys the sense of being lost in time and the writer's deep sense of yearning to retrieve something that once felt so tangible. Overall, the song is a poignant reflection on the familiarity of love in the past, and how it can be difficult to move on when it is no longer attainable.

Every little bit of our world
Each and every aspect of our universe
Way back to the start, such a new sensation
Going back to the beginning, experiencing a fresh emotion
Never felt like it was over
It didn't seem like it was the end
You're oh all I could think of
You're the only thing on my mind
I know I don't wanna move on
I'm sure that I don't want to get over it
If time, time is a healer
Assuming that time is a remedy
Then I, I want it forever
So then, I desire to have it for eternity
Take, take, take you for a ride
Accompanying you on a thrilling adventure
Rewind everything if I could
If possible, resetting everything to its prior state
Nowhere to run but I'm stood
I am standing with nowhere to escape
Get me out of oblivion
Extract me from forgetfulness
Take, take me home to the start
Take me back to the genesis
There's something there that can help us
There's something there that might provide aid to us
So close but ever so far
So near yet extremely distant
Get me out of oblivion
Extract me from forgetfulness
