Oblivion
Navigating Shadows: Michael Romeo's Enigmatic Tale in 'Oblivion'
Lyrics
We listen in one late October eye
We are attentive in the gaze of an eye during late October.
The locket swings before my eyes
A locket is swaying in front of my eyes.
Moth to a flame intoxicatingly
Like a moth drawn to a flame, irresistibly captivating.
It lures me in, yet can't say why
It entices me, but I cannot articulate the reason.
Are we just so naïve?
Are we excessively innocent or lacking awareness?
This tangled web we weave
We are entangled in a complex and deceptive situation.
Misleading, far-reaching
Misleading and extending far beyond our understanding.
On this night, into oblivion
On this particular night, we are heading into oblivion.
My blood runs cold
My blood chills with fear.
Now paralyzed with fear
I am now immobilized by terror.
They storm the gates, my enemy
My adversaries are attacking the gates.
It always seems so dark this time of year
During this season, everything appears exceptionally dark.
Illusion veils reality
Reality is concealed by illusions.
Are we just so naïve?
Are we overly innocent or lacking awareness once again?
This tangled web we weave
We are ensnared in a complicated and deceptive situation.
Earth shaking, heart racing
The Earth is trembling, and my heart is racing.
On this night, into oblivion
On this night, we are heading into oblivion.
The faces on the wall
The faces on the wall are present.
Their shadows standing tall
Their shadows loom tall.
And too afraid to ask "What's underneath the mask?"
Too fearful to inquire about what lies beneath the surface.
Into oblivion
We are descending into oblivion.
