Oblivion was selected by Pitchfork as the best song of the decade.
This song is really deep and personal. Claire Boucher, known as Grimes, speaks about a horrible traumatizing experience.
In an April interview, Boucher explained the song’s true meaning:
The song is about being violently assaulted and 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.
Assault is huge issue in our society. Her tiny victory comes in the chorus line,
"See you on a dark night"
She shows her resilience by coping with her tragedy.
