Oblivion
Escaping Despair: All American Chess Club's Journey into the Pixels of Oblivion
Lyrics
Waste my life away playing video games
Wasting time on video games
It's the only way I can forgot
Using video games as a means to forget
Everything that's bothering
Escaping from troubling thoughts
Me that's so unexplainably despairing
Experiencing unexplainable despair
Nothing
Emphasizing a sense of emptiness
Matters
Expressing a nihilistic view that nothing has significance
If I can't
Highlighting the importance of improvement
Get better
Struggling with the inability to get better
Hiding in the pixels
Repeated emphasis on hiding in the pixels (virtual world)
In the pixels
-Hiding in the pixels
-In the pixels
-Shut out my heart so I can't feel
Blocking emotions to avoid feeling
Into the darkest oblivion
Sinking into a deep sense of oblivion
A fatal loss
Referring to a significant loss
A mortal flaw
Recognizing a fundamental flaw
In my undependable existence
Describing an unreliable existence
You need me
Expressing mutual dependence
I need you
-That's something
-We all knew
-Hiding in the pixels
Repetition of the theme of hiding in the pixels
In the pixels
-Hiding in the pixels
-In the pixels
-I spent my night
Describing fixation on someone, followed by detachment
Fixated on you
-You had me right
-Where you needed me too
-Preoccupied
-With you in my room
-And now I'm gone
-I spent my night
Repeating the cycle of fixation and detachment
Fixated on you
-You had me right
-Where you needed me too
-Preoccupied
-With you in my room
-And now I'm gone
-Hiding in the pixels
Reiteration of hiding in the pixels
In the pixels
-Hiding in the pixels
-In the pixels
-Hiding, hiding
Continued emphasis on hiding in the pixels
Hiding, hiding
-In the pixels
-In the pixels
Final repetition of hiding in the pixels
