Oxygen
abbot Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Hear your voice, you're
Whispering awfulness

How could you let go?
Sinking down below
Skin turns blue so cold
Drowning, I'm drowning
Can't calm down
I have no oxygen
Make no sound
I'll never talk again

Oh shit
Dragging me down in your ocean
I used to feel like I'm floating
Wake up and notice that
Now we're goin down and down and down
Puedo no crees que te amo
Amo cuando estas bailando
Yo quiero mas tiempo contigo
I love to see you spinning round and round

How could you let go?
Sinking down below
Skin turns blue so cold
Drowning, I'm drowning
Can't calm down
I have no oxygen
Make no sound
I'll never talk again

So call me when you wanna talk
Or call me when everything's not my fault
You know that it fucked me up,
And I'm bleeding 'cause I can't control my thoughts
And I'm drinking wine
Dreaming 'bout your eyes
But I just can't lie again
I don't even think I wanna be friends

Yea
Save me from myself
I wish I hadn't needed you I wish I called for help
Take a breath, save yourself, share the wealth
You can see when I bleed from my knee which I knelt
That my oxygen is finite
And my love for you is twilight
If my blood's a brighter red
that means my needs have not been met

How could you let go?
Sinking down below
Skin turns blue so cold
Drowning, I'm drowning
Can't calm down
I have no oxygen
Make no sound
I'll never talk again





Whispering awfulness

It seems as though the singer is reaching out to their partner, asking them why they would let things get this bad, and trying to understand how they could be so hurtful.

Line by Line Meaning

Whispering awfulness
You speak cruel and hurtful words softly


Sinking down below
I am falling deep into despair and hopelessness


Skin turns blue so cold
I am suffocating and freezing in this dreadful state


Drowning, I'm drowning
I am overwhelmed and struggling to stay afloat


Can't calm down
I am feeling extremely anxious and unsettled


I have no oxygen
I am deprived of the air I need to breathe and survive


Make no sound
I cannot speak or express my feelings anymore


I'll never talk again
I have been left with trauma and silenced from the pain


Dragging me down in your ocean
You are pulling me into the deep and dark depths of your troubles


I used to feel like I'm floating
I once felt light and carefree, but now I am weighted down


Wake up and notice that
Realize or become aware that


Now we're goin down and down and down
Our situation is worsening further and further


Puedo no crees que te amo
Maybe you don't believe that I love you


Amo cuando estas bailando
I love watching you dance


Yo quiero mas tiempo contigo
I want more time with you


I love to see you spinning round and round
I enjoy watching you gleefully dance in circles


So call me when you wanna talk
Reach out to me if you want to communicate


Or call me when everything's not my fault
Contact me when you're willing to accept responsibility for your actions


You know that it fucked me up
You understand the harm and emotional damage you caused me


And I'm bleeding 'cause I can't control my thoughts
My mind is in turmoil, and I'm struggling to cope with the pain


And I'm drinking wine
I am consuming alcohol to numb or escape my feelings


Dreaming 'bout your eyes
I am longing for your gaze in my dreams


But I just can't lie again
I am unable to deceive myself anymore


I don't even think I wanna be friends
I don't believe we can have a platonic relationship


Save me from myself
Help me overcome my self-destructive tendencies


I wish I hadn't needed you I wish I called for help
I regret relying on you and not seeking assistance earlier


Take a breath, save yourself, share the wealth
Calm down, rescue yourself, and spread positivity


You can see when I bleed from my knee which I knelt
You can witness the wounds from when I subjected myself to your pain


That my oxygen is finite
I only have a limited amount of air to survive


And my love for you is twilight
My affection for you is fading into darkness


If my blood's a brighter red
If I am more enthused and passionate


That means my needs have not been met
It implies that my desires have not been fulfilled
