- Oblivion LyricsI flew beyond the sun before it was time
Burning all the gold that held me inside my shell
Waiting for you to pull me back in
I almost had the world in my sight
Lost love, bright eyes fading
Faster than stars falling
How can I tell you that I've failed?
Tell you I failed
Falling from grace 'cause I've been away too long
Leaving you behind with my lonesome song
Now I'm lost in oblivion
I tried to burrow a hole into the ground
Breaking all the fingers and the nails from my hand
The eyes of a child see no wrong
Ignorant bliss, impending doom
Lost love, bright eyes fading
Faster than stars falling
How can I tell you that I've failed?
Tell you I failed
Falling from grace 'cause I've been away too long
Leaving you behind with my lonesome song
Now I'm lost
Falling from grace 'cause I've been away too long
Leaving you behind with my lonesome song
Now I'm lost in oblivion
Falling from grace 'cause I've been away too long
Leaving you behind with my lonesome song
Now I'm lost
Falling from grace 'cause I've been away too long
Leaving you behind with my lonesome song
Now I'm lost in oblivion, in oblivion, in oblivion
Burning all the gold that held me inside my shell
Waiting for you to pull me back in
I almost had the world in my sight
Lost love, bright eyes fading
Faster than stars falling
How can I tell you that I've failed?
Tell you I failed
Falling from grace 'cause I've been away too long
Leaving you behind with my lonesome song
Now I'm lost in oblivion
I tried to burrow a hole into the ground
Breaking all the fingers and the nails from my hand
The eyes of a child see no wrong
Ignorant bliss, impending doom
Lost love, bright eyes fading
How can I tell you that I've failed?
Tell you I failed
Falling from grace 'cause I've been away too long
Leaving you behind with my lonesome song
Now I'm lost
Falling from grace 'cause I've been away too long
Leaving you behind with my lonesome song
Now I'm lost in oblivion
Falling from grace 'cause I've been away too long
Leaving you behind with my lonesome song
Now I'm lost
Falling from grace 'cause I've been away too long
Leaving you behind with my lonesome song
Now I'm lost in oblivion, in oblivion, in oblivion

When we delve into what the artist truly meant to convey, Mastodon's 'Oblivion' is a reflection of the emotions related to failure, loss, and disconnection with a significant other. A sense of being clouded in a darkness of oblivion, grappling with previous errors and the or rather the loneliness that had come to be due to the long absence, is what the lyrics show. The metaphor of 'falling from grace' stands for the transition from a better condition to worse, and at the same time, 'bright eyes fading faster than stars falling' depicts the quick extinguishment of hope and joy in life. The reiteration of being 'lost in oblivion' points out the strong feeling of being formless and not getting connected either with oneself or with other people.
