Oblivion
Reckless Wealth and the Dance with Oblivion
Lyrics
Rich bored kids, pissing away fortunes
Rich, privileged youth wasting their wealth
They'll be on their skids
They will face difficulties and challenges
Mothers will be tortured
Moms will suffer emotionally
And their dads on pills full of disappointment
Fathers medicated with disappointment
'Cause they got no skills
Lack of skills and inability to fix problems
Can't fix shit
Expressing incompetence
But it'll be okay
Optimism about the future
When all the money's gone away
Hope despite financial loss
And they'll be free
Freedom after losing everything
When they're reckless just like me
Encouraging recklessness for liberation
When they're reckless just like you
Extending the idea of recklessness to the listener
You've be stuck inside a dream
Being trapped in an unrealistic dream
The one where you lose all your teeth
Nightmare scenario of losing teeth
And you're in school without your clothes on (clothes on)
Social embarrassment and vulnerability
But you'll be okay
Reassurance that everything will be okay
Everyone I know has go their debt to pay
Everyone faces debts and challenges
Sell your soul to make it
Sacrificing integrity for success
That's the modern way
Describing the contemporary approach
Are you reckless just like me?
Asking if the listener is also reckless
Are you ready?
Preparing for a significant event
Oblivion, is coming on
Repetition of the word "Oblivion" symbolizing uncertainty
Oblivion, is coming on
-Nothing's real
-I really mean it that's the way I feel
-You see right through it
-'Cause you're just like me
-The greatest magic trick you've ever seen
-Come on and disappear
-Oblivion
-And the uncertainty will come along
-Oblivion
-And the uncertainty will come along
-Oblivion
-And the uncertainty will come along
-Oblivion
-And the uncertainty will come along
-You can get there with me
Invitation to join the speaker in facing uncertainty
