The 5th track of Deadbeat “Oblivion” is an introspection on unreachable love and the acceptance of loss. Kevin sings from a space where desire and surrender coexist, he longs for a “normal life” but understands that nothing stays the same. The song drift between the desperate attempt to reach someon...
[Intro]
It won't stay the same
In a normal life, I want to
It won't stay the same
In a normal life, I want to
[Verse 1]
You're so far away
Endlessly I tried to reach you
'Cause if I make it through, my love
In the morning light, I'm with you
It won't stay the same
In a normal life, I'd want to
If I cannot be with you
Then I'm glad I told you
[Pre-Chorus]
But if there was a chance in hell
[Chorus]
I would
I would
I would
I would
[Verse 2]
When I saw your face
I was hypnotised, baby
I could see my future
Never yearned for love so deeply
Will you be okay?
Will you feel alive? We live on
If I don't get to you, my love
Then I choose oblivion
(Then I choose oblivion)
[Chorus]
I would
I would
I would (If I never get to you)
I would (I'm going to oblivion)
[Post-Chorus]
I'm going to oblivion
If I never get to you
That's what I wanna do (Wanna do)
That's what I wanna do
That's what I wanna do
[Bridge]
It won't stay the same
In a normal life, I want to
It won't stay the same
In a normal life, I want to
[Chorus]
I would
I would
I would (If I never get to you)
I would (I'm going to oblivion)
I would (Oblivion)
I would (Oblivion)
I would (If I never get to you)
I would (I'm going to oblivion)
I would (Oblivion)
I would (If I never get to you)
I would (I'm going to oblivion)
