About Oblivion

“Oblivion“ is the third track off Grimes' third studio album “Visions“. In 2019, it was named the second best song of the 2010s by Pitchfork. “The song is about being violently assaulted and it made me crazy for a few years. I got really paranoid walking around at night and started feeling really unsafe. The song is more about empowering myself physically amongst a masculine power, and the hate of feeling powerless, making light of masculine physical power, making it jovial and non-threatening. .

Oblivion Lyrics

[00:24.68] I never walk about after dark
[00:29.05] It's my point of view
[00:31.21] 'Cause someone could break your neck
[00:33.63] Coming up behind you
[00:34.81] Always coming and you'd never have a clue
[00:37.37] I never look behind all the time
[00:41.39] I will wait forever
[00:43.69] Always looking straight
[00:45.89] Thinking, counting all the hours you wait
[00:51.21]
[00:53.42] See you on a dark night
[00:57.30]
[00:59.63] See you on a dark night
[01:03.43]
[01:05.89] See you on a dark night
[01:12.05] See you on a dark night
[01:14.24] And no, I'm not a jerk
[01:16.71] I would ask if you could help me out
[01:20.49] It's hard to understand
[01:22.62] 'Cause when you're running by yourself
[01:24.28] It's hard to find someone to hold your hand
[01:26.55] You know it's good to be tough like me
[01:30.32] But I will wait forever
[01:32.91] I need someone else
[01:34.92] To look into my eyes and tell me
[01:36.69] "Girl, you know you've got to watch your health"
[01:41.27] To look into my eyes and tell me
[01:42.85] La la la la la
[01:47.24] To look into my eyes and tell me
[01:49.01] La la la la la
[01:52.11]
[01:55.15] La la la la la
[02:01.30] La la la la la
[02:05.58]
[02:07.68] La la la la la
[02:13.76] La la la la la
[02:28.22]
[02:32.08] See you on a dark night
[02:38.24] See you on a dark night
[02:44.38] See you on a dark night
[02:50.42] See you on a dark night
[02:56.65] See you on a dark night
[03:02.76] See you on a dark night
[03:08.91] See you on a dark night
[03:15.15] See you on a dark night
[03:21.25] See you on a dark night
[03:27.43] See you on a dark night
[03:32.98] See you on a dark night
[03:58.30]
