Oblivion
Vektor Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
A shroud of blood and body parts are my demise
Shapeless moments crack my memories, a broken mirror inside my mind
The end has come, now time is empty
Souls rip through the skin into oblivion
Reborn into nothingness
Time cluttering, moment shattering, voidless persistence
Aimless gazes stab through my eyes while they set their sights asunder
Lightning strikes upon me when all I've known is thunder
Souls rip through the skin into oblivion
Reborn into nothingness
On and on through eternity, pathways through the galaxies
We were, we are, will we be?
Will our cries be heard, or echo endlessly?
Souls rip through the skin into oblivion
Reborn into nothingness
The lyrics to Vektor's song "Oblivion" describe the descent into a state of nothingness and the loss of identity that comes with it. The opening line "Spiraling into oblivion, mindless thoughts scream my silent cries" suggests a sense of confusion and desperation, as the singer feels himself slipping away. The next line, "A shroud of blood and body parts are my demise," adds a gruesome element to the song, implying that the singer may be in some sort of physical or metaphysical danger.
As the song progresses, the lyrics become more abstract, with the singer describing "Shapeless moments crack[ing] my memories" and a "broken mirror inside [their] mind." These lines convey a sense of disorientation and loss, as the singer feels their sense of self slipping away. The refrain, "Souls rip through the skin into oblivion / Reborn into nothingness," reinforces the idea that the singer is losing their sense of self and being absorbed into something larger.
The final lines of the song suggest a sense of cosmic wonder and questioning, as the singer wonders whether their cries will be heard or "echo endlessly." Overall, the lyrics to "Oblivion" suggest a sense of existential dread, as the singer confronts the possibility of losing themselves completely and being absorbed into something larger and more terrifying than themselves.
