Oxygen
Winona Oak Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Passion makes me paranoid
Jealousy can make you blind
Lookin' hard for something wrong
Where trouble searches trouble finds

I need you like oxygen
Tie you to me breathe you in
Prove it to me once again

Show me you love me
You know I get scared
I'm not just broken
I'm beyond repair
Tell me you need me
You know I get scared
Make me forget that
I'm beyond repair
Ooh, ooh

Everything is triggering
Dealing with a damaged mind
Somethin' 'bout your fingertips, they calm me down
When I overran the lines

I, I need you like oxygen
Tie you to me breathe you in
Prove it to me once again

Show me you love me
You know I get scared
I'm not just broken
I'm beyond repair
Tell me you need me
You know I get scared
Make me forget that
I'm beyond repair

E-, never, never
E-, never, get it
E-, never, never
E-, never
E-, never, never
E-, never
E-, never, never
Ooh, ooh

Never, never, never, ever stop
'Cause I will never, never, ever get enough
Show me you love me
Enough
Enough
Enough

I'm in pieces, I'm in pieces
Can you see it?
I'm in pieces, I'm in pieces
Darling, please stress

Show me you love me
You know I get scared
I'm not just broken
I'm beyond repair
Tell me you need me
You know I get scared
Make me forget that
I'm beyond repair

E-, never, never
E-, never, get it
E-, never, never
E-, never
E-, never, never
E-, never
E-, never, never
Ooh, ooh

Never, never, never, ever stop
'Cause I will never, never, ever get enough
Show me you love me
Enough

Overall Meaning

The song "Oxygen" by Winona Oak and Robin Schulz is an emotional ballad about the fear and insecurity that can come with being in a relationship. The opening lyrics, "Passion makes me paranoid, jealousy can make you blind," set the tone for the rest of the song. The singer is admitting that her intense emotions are causing her to be overly suspicious and anxious in her relationship. She is constantly searching for something wrong and believes that trouble is always lurking around the corner.


Despite her fears, the singer cannot help but feel a deep connection to her partner. She needs him like oxygen and wants to tie him to her so she can breathe him in. This is a metaphor for the consuming nature of their relationship. The singer wants proof of his love and reassurance that he won't leave her. When she says, "Make me forget that I'm beyond repair," she is revealing her innermost fear that she is unlovable due to her emotional baggage.


The chorus repeats the plea for her partner to show her that he loves her, even when she is scared and feels broken. The repetition of "never, never, never, ever stop" at the end of the song is a reminder that relationships require constant effort to maintain, and that the singer will always need reassurance from her partner.


Overall, "Oxygen" is a powerful song about the vulnerability and complexity of love. It speaks to anyone who has struggled to trust in a relationship, and who needs constant reassurance that they are loved.

@Monnii29

I have had 31 years of my life with a multitude of going through traumatic events/experiences.

Of every song I have ever listened to all my life....
I haven't ever connected with anything such as "Oxygen"...

My boyfriend came into my life 6 years ago.

He's the only person in the world to see past the scars left behind from monstrous people from childhood on up...
He has seen past all those scars and has loved me unconditionally for who I am...
Thru all my good and bad.

I'm so touched by every lyric in this song.

Thank you for writing it...

Thank you for signing it.

Thank your producers audio & video for recording it.
