Oil Rigs
Journey through the Abyss: Local Authority's Oil Rigs Meaning
Lyrics
Driving down to the edge at dawn
Embarking on a journey to the edge at dawn.
Moving in reverse
Reversing direction or reflecting on past experiences.
Digging out what's in my head
Attempting to uncover and understand thoughts in the mind.
It's only getting worse
The situation or mental state is deteriorating.
Staring out at the oil rigs
Gazing at offshore oil rigs.
Trying to lose myself
Trying to escape or detach from oneself.
Caught up in the landslide
Caught in a overwhelming force or situation.
There's nothing else
Nothing else is present or significant.
Stay here I'll watch you
Repetition emphasizing the invitation to stay and be observed.
Stay for a while
-Stay here I'll watch you
-Stay for a while
-Stay here I'll watch you
-Stay for a while
-Stay here I'll watch you
-Stay for a while
-Out into nothing
Heading towards a vast, empty space.
Where the tall trees grow
Describing a place where significant growth occurs.
I'll be here waiting
Waiting patiently in a challenging situation.
In the undertow
Being in a difficult or overwhelming circumstance.
So come down and see me
Inviting someone to come and share positive experiences.
Stay and I'll smile
-Come down and see me
-Be here a while
-Stay here I'll watch you
Repetition reinforcing the invitation to stay and be observed.
Stay for a while
-Stay here I'll watch you
-Stay for a while
-Stay here I'll watch you
-Stay for a while
-Stay here I'll watch you
-Stay for a while
-Stay here I'll watch you
Final repetition of the invitation, underlining the desire for company.
Stay for a while
-Stay here I'll watch you
-Stay for a while
