Oblivion
WhoMadeWho & Mano Le Tough Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I can't remember

Be afraid 'cause of your love

I can't remember
Moments with you
Be afraid 'cause of your love
Out of the blue

I can't remember
Young as a child
Feel this adventure
Into the wild

Deep in the river
Every day
One to remember
Sleeping away

Sleeping away
Sleeping away

I can't remember




Glimpse of a sing
Be afraid 'cause of your love

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Oblivion" by WhoMadeWho and Mano Le Tough seem to be talking about a memory loss or a sense of forgetting something. The repeated phrase "I can't remember" emphasizes this theme, further reinforced by the mention of being young as a child, and having moments and glimpses that are faded away. However, amidst this forgetfulness and oblivion, there is a sense of adventure that is being felt, as if the singer is still experiencing something new and exciting, possibly by exploring something unfamiliar or going "into the wild." This could be interpreted either as a literal experience of being out in nature, or a metaphorical one indicating a sense of exploring the unknown in one's life.


The latter half of the lyrics introduce the notion of fear, specifically a fear that one should have because of their love. The cause or reason for this fear is not clear, but it could be interpreted as the fear of losing something or someone that one loves. The lines "out of the blue" and "glimpse of a sing" further suggest a sense of suddenness or unpredictability about this fear. The song ends with the repeated phrase "sleeping away," which could be interpreted as a sense of escapism or lethargy, but could also symbolize the idea of being lulled into a state of forgetting and oblivion.
