Unwritten Law Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
C'mon 12 o'clock in the savon parking lot a 30 day supply
To get us high or say goodbye tonight my love
Welcome to oblivion here I come Here I come
Burning bridges just for fun one by one damage done
Can you feel me here I come and my darling remedy oh please please please don't leave me
2 o'clock now we've been around the block
We've closed the bar and lost the car we've come too far to stop tonight my love
Welcome to oblivion here I come here I come
Burning bridges just for fun one by one damage done
Can you feel me here I come yes it tastes like
You might might be laced but I'm not sure cause I can't feel you anymore
Welcome to oblivion destruction here I come
Burning bridges just for fun yeah the damage has been done
I'm torn to pieces small enough to pick me up so pick me up
The lyrics to Unwritten Law's Welcome to Oblivion describe the singer's descent into drug addiction and the destructive behavior it brings. The opening lines say, "You're the chemical I'm in trouble I've lost all control" which sets the tone for the rest of the song. The singer and their partner are in a parking lot, about to use a 30-day supply of drugs. It's clear that their addiction has taken over and they are willing to risk everything for the next high ("to get us high or say goodbye tonight my love").
As the song progresses, the singer continues to describe their behavior as destructive, burning bridges "just for fun". However, they also seem to be looking for comfort and a way out of their addiction ("and my darling remedy oh please please please don't leave me"). The chorus repeats the phrase "Welcome to oblivion here I come" which can be interpreted as both a warning and a self-fulfilling prophecy. The singer has accepted their fate and is willingly diving headfirst into the abyss of drug addiction.

I love this band! I just recently heard of them from a friend and I really like them. Im not a mainstream person but still hadnt heard of these guys. They should definetly be out there more!
Illuser
I love this song. It's surprising it's not that popular considering it's got what what it takes for mainstream peeps to like it.
Jessie Penno
I love all of Unwritten Law, but this song doesn't appeal to me as much as songs like "Get Up" "She Says" "Seeing Red" etc. Still a good song, though.
SaveOldCars
Mainstream sucks! They only do what everyone does. Music like Unwritten Law rules them all
