Oblique
Don’t let it be said that I’ve forgotten my love of R.E.M.
Dream of a life that’s never been seen
A world of possibilities, a place in between
A place of shadows, a place of light
A place of secrets, hiding in the night
Oblique, oblique, oblique
Can you tell me what you see?
Oblique, oblique, oblique
Just on the other side of me
A place of questions and answers
Somewhere to play a game of chance
A place for you to discover
What you think and what you know you can
Oblique, oblique, oblique
Can you tell me what you see?
Oblique, oblique, oblique
Just on the other side of me
A place of secrets, a place of lies
A place of truth and of disguise
A place of courage, a place of fear
A place to hold those who are dear
A place to question all you know
To answer should I stay or go
A place to see the real you
And face up to your own truth
Oblique, oblique, oblique
Can you tell me what you see?
Oblique, oblique, oblique
Just on the other side of me
Toe tapping catchiness, classic REM sound. I love the repeated guitar riffing throughout the song, and you kept that little pause at 3:24! I think it add a little bit of dynamic and tension at the end of the song.
