Oblivion Lyrics

I 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...

    It's mostly about branns sisters death and how the pain was enough to 'crack the skye' (skye was his sisters name hence the spelling). But it also plays into the concept of the album which is 'ethereal travel'. If you go to YouTube and search the concept, they can explain it better than I could. Classic song and a great album opener.

    So, i think it's singing about a person that break up a relationship and fell in depression and vicious drugs.
