Negative Space, ITNR’s third track, is a meditation on oblivion.
Josh discussed the meaning behind the lyrics in an interview with NME:

[Verse 1]

I don't know what's true, particularly if it's from you
Oh, betrayal, it tears me up inside
I'm just a fool who is terrified
[Chorus]
There's gotta be some way back to earth
I'm driftin' away as the world turns
We'll never get back to where we were
Facin' oblivion, there's no words
[Verse 2]

[Guitar Solo]
[Chorus]
There's gotta be some way back to earth
I'm driftin' away as the world turns
We'll never get back to where we were, ooh
Stare into oblivion, oh, it hurts
[Outro]
Don't say you love me no more
Thought we were equals, broken peoples keep score, yeah
Don't say that you really care
As if you really do
Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
No, no
