about
I wrote this in my music room, and I knew, yes, I knew... That this would be the one. and when we played it for the first time, it became the song we had to play foreever. This version is as close as it comes to the original demo. Love it.
lyrics
Living In Oblivion
You can't hide the pain
I can see it scrawled on your empty face
And I feel the hurt
It's in the words you say, they make me want to
Scream out to the world
For taking life for granted and I know
You are by my side
When I turn to hear you cry
I am so afraid of living in oblivion
I am so afraid of living in oblivion
Am I so blind?
With my eyes turned to a different time or hour
At the end of the day
When we both run down and our hopes are heavy
Tell me what you will
'Cause I've got to know the truth inside of you
Can you hear what I say
When I hold you and you scorn the day?
I am so afraid of living in oblivion
I am so afraid of living in oblivion
Living in oblivion
Living in oblivion
So I ask again
Am I so alone and full of pride?
To never speak out
This is my world, this is my world
Don't tell me now
I won't feel those words, I won't feel the lies they tell
Can you hear my scream?
It's for everyone, for everyone
I am so afraid of living in oblivion
I am so afraid of living in oblivion
Living in oblivion
Living in oblivion
Claude S. (1990)
You can't hide the pain
I can see it scrawled on your empty face
And I feel the hurt
It's in the words you say, they make me want to
Scream out to the world
For taking life for granted and I know
You are by my side
When I turn to hear you cry
I am so afraid of living in oblivion
I am so afraid of living in oblivion
Am I so blind?
With my eyes turned to a different time or hour
At the end of the day
When we both run down and our hopes are heavy
Tell me what you will
'Cause I've got to know the truth inside of you
Can you hear what I say
When I hold you and you scorn the day?
I am so afraid of living in oblivion
I am so afraid of living in oblivion
Living in oblivion
Living in oblivion
So I ask again
Am I so alone and full of pride?
To never speak out
This is my world, this is my world
Don't tell me now
I won't feel those words, I won't feel the lies they tell
Can you hear my scream?
It's for everyone, for everyone
I am so afraid of living in oblivion
I am so afraid of living in oblivion
Living in oblivion
Living in oblivion

about
Anything Box Long Beach, California
Whatever you think you know about 'synthpop' throw it out your window. Synthpop here is an art movement, a dadaist version. For people. Maybe someone like you. We like you. You're still reading this? OK. Be careful, time displacements have been known to occur in this construct. Are you still reading this? Good. You are worthy. ... more

Cause & Effect - Deluxe Edition
by Cause and Effectsupported by 23 fans who also own “Living In Oblivion”
I remember the first time I heard "You Think You Know Her" on the radio, and thinking it was a new song by Depeche Mode! Then in 1993, I found the CD in the discount bin at Camelot Music, only because it was re-released on a different label with the title "Another Minute" so I kind of lucked out. Still one of my favorites to this day, there isn't a track that I skip, which says a lot. The extra tracks on this deluxe edition are equally good but missing "You Think You Know Her (Unfaithful Mix)".

SO thrilled to support Numbers by buying this compilation.
go to album -
This duo's eclectic album swoons with melancholic synth n'guitar, and surprises with dub tinged experimental production.

Deleted Scenes
by Standish/CarlyonCalculated, sleek and moody, dub-influenced noirish tunes that occasionally sparkle as something poppy.
