Oblivion
Twelve24 Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Take it now take it now now yeah
Take it now take it now now

This is for every time they told you "you are never good enough"
Shot down before you could ever live it up
Last round made you feel like giving up
You cry out is there anybody I can trust
Its hard when you got no hope tryna balance your life when you on a tight rope
Don't look down when you feel so low but you still got time so you cant let go
Words surrounding you, Make it hard to move, Make you feel like your dirt
But he took the hit for you, what he did for you throws it all in reverse
As far as the east is from the west Love separates your heart from death
He paid it all when he died on the cross took all your shame and he laid it to rest!

words like fire
Burn inside ya
Always tear you down
You say I'm no fighter
No contender
But please don't count me out
So just come in and take it I'm ready to throw it away
And Jesus can save me I'll take a chance and now I pray
with all my heart and all my soul
I'm letting go, you take it all to

To Oblivion
take it now take it now now Oblivion x2

This is for everytime they told you you got no purpose,
Everyday make you feel so worthless, But nobody's perfect,
You wanna know truth but nobody's certain.
So i lay it plain He can change your name rearrange n make you feel brand new,
This aint a game i never stay the same n now i praise His name you always come through.
You sympathise with ma weakness, N put together my pieces
Its so much for me you keep love in me, man how can i deny Jesus
If you got beat they beat Him too, they hated Him like they're hating you
I'm so amazed by this so true, I aint never known love like the way you do, Thats real

words like fire
Burn inside ya
Always tear you down
You say I'm no fighter
No contender
But please don't count me out
So just come in and take it I'm ready to throw it away
And Jesus can save me I'll take a chance and now I pray
with all my heart and all my soul
I'm letting go, you take it all

To Oblivion
take it now take it now now Oblivion x2
To Oblivion
take it now take it now now Oblivion x2

You build me up
You break me down
Your words are lighting
They strike me out
Your time is up
I've had enough
So take it now take it now now
Oblivion





Take it now take it now now yeah
Take it now take it now now
