Project 86
Oblivion
Tuning: Drop Db (C#,G#,C#,F#,Bb or A#, Eb or D#)
The intro before and during the vocals is a C# powercord, played open and possibly on
the 12th fret. I can't tell how it is played because of the whole engine thing that
starts the song up. My amp has an effect called "magic drive" that sounds similar. So
for the first few seconds just play a C# powercord. Then, after Andrew says "..the messenger":
1. Intro after vocals:
Eb-------------------------------------------------------------
Bb-------------------------------------------------------------
F#-------------------------------------------------------------
C#--0-12-0-12-0-10-0-10-0-1012--0-12-0-12-0-10-0-10-0-1210---
G#--0-12-0-12-0-10-0-10-0-1012--0-12-0-12-0-10-0-10-0-108----
C#--0-12-0-12-0-10-0-10-0-1012--0-12-0-12-0-10-0-10-0---------
2. Verse Riff.
Eb-------------------------------------------------------------
Bb-------------------------------------------------------------
F#-----------------------1214-14-14-14-14--1214-14--1214-15-
C#------------------------x--x--x--x--x--x---x--x--x---x--x--x-
G#-----------------------1012-12-12-12-12--1012-12--1012-13-
C#--5-5-5-5-5-3-3-8-8------------------------------------------
3. As it goes from verse to chorus, there is a piece similar to the intro
Eb---------------------------
Bb---------------------------
F#---------------------------
C#--0h12-0h12-0h12-0h12-0h12-
G#--0h12-0h12-0h12-0h12-0h12-
C#--0h12-0h12-0h12-0h12-0h12-
4. The Chorus:
Eb---------------------------------------------------
Bb---------------------------------------------------
F#---------------------------------------------------
C#--12-12-12-12-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10--12-12-12-12-
G#--12-12-12-12-10-10-10-10--8--8--8--8--10-10-10-10-
C#--12-12-12-12-10-10-10-10--------------------------
Eb---------------------------------------------------
Bb---------------------------------------------------
F#---------------------------------------------------
C#--12-12-12-12-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10--8-8-8-8-----
G#--12-12-12-12-10-10-10-10--8--8--8--8--8-8-8-8-----
C#--12-12-12-12-10-10-10-10--------------8-8-8-8-----
5. During the "WhoooOoooOOOoooaa" part, this verse piece is played repeatedly
Eb----------------------------------------
Bb----------------------------------------
F#--1214-14-14-14-14--1214-14--1214-15-
C#---x--x--x--x--x--x---x--x--x---x--x--x-
G#--1012-12-12-12-12--1012-12--1012-13-
C#----------------------------------------
6. After the second chorus and whoa part, the verse piece plays and plays into the "Will
I find.." part, which eventually leads to this next piece. I think it's played during
the "You think the answer lies..."
Eb-----------------------------------------------------
Bb-----------------------------------------------------
F#--10-10-10-10--12-12-12-12--10-10-10-10--12-12-12-12-
C#--x--x--x--x----x--x--x--x---x--x--x--x---x--x--x--x-
G#--8--8--8--8---10-10-10-10---8--8--8--8--10-10-10-10-
C#-----------------------------------------------------
7. The Octave Solo. This is played rapidly with an up/down strum. Octaves in parenthesis
are played way too fast to count. I don't know how many times the 7s are played either.
During the last octave, the feedback kicks in. Listen to the CD for timing.
Eb--(10)---------------------------------------------------------------------
Bb---x---------11--13--11--------------------------------------------
F#--(7)-----x------x---x---x---x-----7---7---7---7---------------------------
C#--(0)----(7)-----8---10--8---7---7---7---7-----------------------------
G#---------------------------------------------------------------------------
C#---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Eb--------------------
Bb--------
F#---x------x-----x---
C#---------
G#--------------------
C#--------------------
8. One last piece. This is a simple change in the transition from
the last verse to the chorus. Slowly bend the last octave.
Eb--------------------------------
Bb--------------------------------
F#----------------------12-14-14^-
C#-----------------------x--x--x--
G#----------------------1012-12^-
C#--5-5-5-5-5-3-3-8-8-------------

| We think that we are safe and comfortable in our world right here but really it's just an "Oblivion" "From somewhere far, far away: (I Will avenge, I will repay)" This is what lot's of people would say to do. Get revenge, get back at people who treat you poorly. But that's someplace "far, far away" "A distant voice from some familiar place (Drive it home in me, pull it out from me)" Although this message seems small "distant" is feels "familiar" and resonates with us. This is really the way to live. Andrew sings "Will I find home in This beautiful oblivion? No meaning No solace No comfort No justice These thoughts I've held in failure My paper champion, false savior 'You think the answer lies within When your heart betrays you?'" Lot's of times we think that we are at home here in this "beautiful" earth with live in but this song says that's just an oblivion. There isn't really anything of substance. We want to be independent and trust our heart but what's the point: "You think the answer lies within When your heart betrays you?" "Let go the anchor Let got the deadweight" We don't have to try to get back at everyone who has wronged us. We can just let go of that "anchor" holding us there. | |

| Sirsteven good job. Also i'm thinking of like a picture of the Israelites fleeing from Egypt. They were always double minded with God and had a hard time turning their back on Egypt once they got in the wilderness. once they got there, the only thing they could do was rely on God. They had nothing else and that's exactly where he wanted them (and us). So Fight for our tomorrow makes me think of the battles we have when we use his word. Fall to stand surrender to follow is opposite of what we think we should do. But surrender to God and he will take care of you though you want to take care of yourself. And all the parts in parenthesis ("I will avenge I will repay.") are like God saying if you let go of this control you want over your life and put your trust in me I will do this for you. | |
