Little Miss Oblivion

Lyrics:

Hey tell me what’s the problem I’ve been waiting

It’s getting late my patience is running out

You tell me being patient’s overrated

That’s all it takes for this girl to shut her mouth

You got a hold on me

And I know it’s there, I’m aware

But I’m far too scared to talk

So you can rattle on

About the weather and

Things that never matter

Cause I’ll just chalk it up

To oblivion

You use me you abuse me

So much that even my mother noticed

She’s seeing what you’re doing to my breakable heart

I’m starting to see through it

But I’ll keep acting like I don’t care

I’ll be the puppet who’s made to play the part

Cause you got a hold on me

And I know it’s there I’m aware

But I’m far too scared to talk

So you can cut me o

And you can hate my mom

What a shock I’ll still just chalk it up

To oblivion and being so in love

That I forgot to notice

All the times you did me wrong

Little miss oblivion

Too many times I’ve seen this happen to me

I’m getting tired of being someone’s remedy

Every time oblivion eats me alive I get up, brush it off, and I’m me but

I’m getting tired of always having to be

Little miss oblivion

So stupidly in love that

I was blind to every single time

You did me wrong

I won’t miss oblivion

Remi Baker is a senior at Interlochen Arts Academy, originally from Greensboro, Georgia. Upon coming to Interlochen Arts Academy and gaining exposure to the contemporary music world, she decided to pursue songwriting as a career. 2024 has presented a lot of opportunities for her, including the experience of National YoungArts week where won gold in songwriting for her performance in various shows and workshops. Through YoungArts, she was also named a nominee for the US Presidential Scholar in the Arts. In the past few years, Remi has grown exponentially on her songwriting path and hopes to continue to grow in every skillset to become as the artist she envisions. This piece is inspired by the inevitable oblivion that comes with being in love, and the internal debate of whether to fight or accept it. I had a great time writing about such a relatable topic in a really fun and sarcastic tone.
