about

Oxidise is a politically charged song about watching people in power igniting the very hopes they used to inflate false impressions of a better future by simply disappearing after causing total chaos with their actions and yet staying intact despite them. It's also a call to see things differently without any fear or made-up desires that numb us and make us passively accept such behaviour. All these in a frame of self-doubt about how change is actually feasible in such confusing times.

lyrics

Enter a world that will never
Make you want to surrender
To all of your fears and desires
It’s breaking my heart that
Forever is not enough anymore
For you to endeavour
To see with brand new eye
Brand new eyes

Falling Kings and Queens that never touch the ground
Oxidise our dreams and watch them burning down, down

Breathe while we go on and on and on and on, we’re turning into stone and concrete
Breathe while we go on and on and on and on your silence makes me skip a heartbeat

What if this wasn’t your life
What if you were the third eye
Then all of your fears and desires would break into pieces of nothing
But who am I to react?
I was born with the wrong heart
But seeing with brand new eyes
Brand new eyes - now

Breathe while we go on and on and on and on, we’re turning into stone and concrete
Breathe while we go on and on and on and on your silence makes me skip a heartbeat

Our falling Kings and Queens that never touch the ground
Oxidise our dreams and watch them burning down
Our falling Kings and Queens that never touch the ground
Oxidise our dreams and watch them burning down, down

Breathe while we go on and on and on and on, we’re turning into stone and concrete
Breath while we go on and on and on and on your silence makes me skip a heartbeat
Your silence makes me skip a heartbeat
