Oblivion

“Oblivion” is the eighth song on their first album Bad Blood. It was released as the seventh single from the album, eighth including “Of the Night” from All This Bad Blood. A live version of the song recorded at Capitol Studios was realeased as the B-side to the “Of the Night” single.

It was written by Dan who said that “"Oblivion” is about trying to follow someone to the place they go when they lose their mind". He has also said on a different occasion that “[Oblivion] tells of an intimate moment in which someone is telling their passed out friend that ‘however hard they try, they can never manage to follow them to whatever level of inebriated escape they manage to get to.’”

The song was first performed live in September 2012 at the iTunes Festival in London. The band confirmed during their headline gig at London’s Somerset House on July 15th that “Oblivion” would be the next single.
