Story Behind the Song
One of the first songs, and the first guitar solos, that Mike G. ever wrote. Mike Epstein (the engineer for the 7-song demo) over at Dare Studios thought to have Mike G. add some acoustic guitar to the verses of this song.
Lyrics
Wherever I go, people are telling me I look as if I'm unable to see. I'm walking around, a tree with no leaves. What is wrong here nobody grieves. Nothing is here, it's very intense. I can't move or breathe, I'm in a suspense. All around me, senses are dulled. It's like in a storm, with a slow, tired lull. Wait, now someone's coming in. In my oblivion. In my oblivion, I don't know where I'm going. This way, that way, every which way but right. Something's happened, why's it so quiet? He wants me to leave, but I cannot. Tales he tells of his underground god. I don't know what to say, I just nod. It's all a big lie anyway. Hear it over and over every day. Leave me alone, all alone, I don't need anyone, especially you now. Why do you try to get so close to me in my oblivion? Every way but right.
