Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I am not stating a lie for you
Kick me, beat me, do what you can
I am alone in this land full of sin
Cut me, skin me, kill me again
I′m breathing alone, breathe as deep as I can
I won′t falter to your needs
Staying alive in your land full of sin
Always keep pushing with hands made of steel
I'm starving, with the stitches made from your grin
I am falling
I am torn
From the pieces you spread around
From the pieces you spread around
You buried them all alive
You buried them all alive
I am not stating a lie for you
I am not stating a lie for you
Running away like the cowardly dog that you are
You didn't see this coming
Hoping that god will show you the pathway from afar
I want you dead
I hope you die
I want you dead
I hope you die
I want you dead
I am torn
From the pieces you spread around
From the pieces you spread around
You buried them all alive
You buried them all alive
You buried them all alive
Fuck you
I am torn
From the pieces you spread around
From the pieces you spread around
You buried them all alive
You buried them all alive
I am not stating a lie for you
I am not stating a lie for you
The lyrics of Aviana's song "Oblivion" portray the singer's inner turmoil as they confront someone who has betrayed and hurt them. The repetition of the lines "I am not stating a lie for you" signifies the singer's determination to speak the truth and not let the other person's lies deceive them anymore. The lines "Kick me, beat me, do what you can / I am alone in this land full of sin" reveal the pain and isolation the singer is experiencing due to the other person's actions.
The singer refuses to "falter to [the other person's] needs" and instead focuses on survival and pushing through the difficult situation, even though they are "starving" and falling apart. The lines "From the pieces you spread around / You buried them all alive" suggest that the other person has caused harm not only to the singer, but to others around them as well. The anger and desire for revenge is palpable in the repeated lines "I want you dead / I hope you die."
Overall, the lyrics of "Oblivion" are dark and intense, but ultimately convey a sense of resilience and refusal to be defeated by someone else's actions.
