Oblivion. The state of being forgotten.

This song explains the theorized agony of Dream as he remains alone in the prison for months at a time. Remaining by himself, it is imagined that he has had more than enough time to think, reflect, ponder, and soon regret. Being the strong independent man he was, a part of him is broken as he comes to the understanding that his pride has quite possibly been diminished, and he is finally not blind enough to see what he had done in the dark past that had been so horribly wrong as expressed in the lines, “The illusion crafted by my arrogance had protected me from the wrong that I couldn't admit.”
The song continues, as Dream lays on the floor of the prison, “left to waste” because he had followed his worldly and possessive desires, rather than relying on those who mattered most to him. A part of him is soon being dragged off to some dimension, some state of mind. A state of mind that ponders upon his regrets. An abyss. The song goes on to explain that all of the sorrow feels just like falling. He feels like he is falling, in some metaphoric way, until he is completely lost into complete darkness.
Still in this world of imagination, Dream finds himself in a place of the past. A place where his memories surround him closely. A sliver of joy flickers through the words as it is expressed that they, Sapnap, George, and Dream, had spent their youth together, building themselves and their kingdom “One brick at a time”. That sliver of joy does not last long, as he is only reminded of how their melodious beginning had simply ended in “rubble and dust”. The bit of hope they used to have, now gone, due to the actions of himself, turning his back upon those he used to love. Dream ponders, “if we had started over, oh, I wonder,” He continues on, questioning that if he had just stayed with them and chosen friendships over power, he may not have ended up trapped between the flickering flames of the prison.
Snapping back to reality, the realization of the complete and utter loneliness of his position floods over his emotions. “How fragile of me to break so easily,” the lyrics weep, “fear took the lead, now I’m still falling.”
Piano and instrumental slowly flood the empty space, representing the flood of emotions that fill his mind with regret, agony, and the desire to go back and relive the times before this turmoil. But for now, Dream is left alone, wallowing in the depths of his mind until the hopeful day where he can regain the friendships, and his own self, that had fallen deep, deep into oblivion.
