Oblivion Lyrics – Tame Impala | from “Deadbeat”

Step into the swirling psychedelia of “Oblivion,” track five from Tame Impala‘s long-awaited fifth album Deadbeat, hitting shelves on October 17, 2025. Kevin Parker, the one-man wizard behind Tame Impala, has been teasing this shift for years, moving from the introspective grooves of The Slow Rush into a bolder, rave-infused sound drawn from Western Australia’s underground scene. Announced just weeks ago with the full 12-track list—including standouts like “Dracula” and “Loser“—Deadbeat promises a “future-primitive rave act” vibe, blending Parker’s signature synth layers with club-ready beats. Fans got a taste via snippets on socials, and “Oblivion” stands out for its dreamy haze, evoking that classic Tame Impala escape into altered states.

At its core, “Oblivion” explores themes of detachment and rebirth, fitting the album’s narrative of shedding old skins amid fame’s pressures. Parker’s lyrics often weave personal reflection with cosmic wanderings, and here, expect lines that blur reality and forgetfulness, much like the euphoric drops in “My Old Ways” or the fuzzy energy of “No Reply.” Reddit’s r/TameImpala is ablaze with theories, praising how it ties into the post-psych era Parker described in recent interviews, where he sculpts “wickedly potent club-psych.” X posts highlight the hype around the Dracula white fang vinyl edition, with users calling it a return to form after five years. This track captures that pull between chaos and clarity, making it a highlight in Deadbeat’s collection of raw, transformative cuts.
