Oxygen
Lost in Silence: Unraveling the Suffocating Tale of 'Oxygen'
Lyrics
So far away
Expresses a feeling of distance or separation.
We lost the way
Feeling disoriented or directionless, having strayed from the right path.
There's no oxygen left on our planet
Metaphorical scarcity of essential life support (oxygen) on Earth, suggesting a lack of something vital for survival.
Empty words
Words lacking sincerity or depth.
Break on our lips
Words that shatter or fail to convey true meaning.
There's no oxygen left On our planet
Reiterates the metaphor of oxygen depletion, emphasizing the absence of something crucial.
Everyone, sleeping with their guns
People maintaining a defensive stance, ready for conflict.
Someone's going to die
Fear of inevitable harm or death due to the prevailing tension.
So much noise
An overwhelming amount of chaos or disturbance.
We're a bunch of boys
Reflecting on immature behavior despite aging.
We were born to lie
Implying a predisposition towards falsehood or deception.
I feel alive
Contrasting a sense of being alive with the expression of pain or sorrow.
Just when I cry
Irony in feeling alive while experiencing emotional pain.
There's no oxygen left on our planet
Reiteration of the scarcity of something vital, emphasizing its absence.
Things we've said
Reflection on spoken words leading to a catastrophic outcome.
And then we crashed
Refers to a significant failure or collapse.
There's no oxygen left on our planet
Reemphasizes the metaphorical absence of life-sustaining oxygen.
Everyone, sleeping with their guns
Continued imagery of a defensive and potentially dangerous state.
Someone's going to die
Reiterates the fear of impending harm or death.
So much noise
Stresses the overwhelming chaos or disturbance.
We're a bunch of boys
Reflects on immature behavior despite aging, repeating the idea of deceit.
We were born to lie
Reemphasizes the predisposition towards falsehood or deception.
Everyone, sleeping with their guns
Reiteration of a defensive and potentially dangerous state, echoing impending danger.
Someone's going to die
Reiterates the fear of inevitable harm or death.
So much noise
Stresses the overwhelming chaos or disturbance, repeating immature behavior.
We're a bunch of boys
Repeats the idea of being born to deceive, highlighting the cycle of falsehood.
We were born to lie
Reemphasizes the predisposition towards falsehood or deception.
So far away
Expresses distance or separation again.
We lost the way
Reiterates feeling disoriented or having strayed from the right path.
There's no oxygen left on our planet
Final emphasis on the metaphorical absence of something crucial for survival.
