I never walk about, after dark
It's my point of view
'Cause someone could break your neck
Coming up behind you, always coming and you'd never have a clue
I never look behind, all the time
I will wait forever, always looking straight
Thinking, counting, all the hours you wait
See you on a dark night
See you on a dark night
See you on a dark night
See you on a dark night
And now another clue, I would ask
If you could help me out
It's hard to understand
'Cause when you're running by yourself
It's hard to find someone to hold your hand
And now it's good to be tough on me
But I will wait forever
I need someone else to look into my eyes and tell me
Girl you know you gotta watch your health
To look into my eyes and tell me
La la la la la
To look into my eyes and tell me
La la la la la
La la la la la
La la la la la
Oblivion Video (MV)
"Oblivion" is a song by Canadian musician Grimes from her third studio album, Visions (2012). It was released as a promotional single in 2012 by 4AD.
In an April 2012 interview with Jacinda Govind for Music Feeds, Grimes explained that the song is about a violent assault:
"It made me crazy for a few years. I got really paranoid walking around at night and started feeling really unsafe. The song is more about empowering myself physically amongst a masculine power, and the hate of feeling powerless, making light of masculine physical power, making it jovial and non-threatening. I took a typically violent cultural situation and made it pop and happy."
Chandler Levack for CBC in 2020 and Caz Tran for ABC in 2022 have reported on Grimes' sexual assault, with Tran writing that "as a survivor of a violent sexual assault, 'Oblivion' was the result of [Grimes'] most determined efforts to turn feelings of fear and paranoia into something light hearted and innocuous".
