Crown The Empire - Oxygen Lyrics






The chemicals
I think they're telling us we're not alone
The molecules
They're taking shape until we let them go

Breathe you in, breathe you out
When it's all too much
Breathe you in, breathe you out
You're my one true drug

I can hardly wait to float above the angels
I'm high again off your oxygen
Calling in the dark, you pull me through the stars
I'm so high again off your oxygen

There's something changing inside the way I see
The air I thought that I needed is just a memory
So captivated inside a world we dream

Breathe you in, breathe you out
When it's all too much
Breathe you in, breathe you out
You're my one true drug

I can hardly wait to float above the angels
I'm high again off your oxygen
Calling in the dark, you pull me through the stars
I'm so high again

The chemicals
I think they're telling us we're not alone
The chemicals
I think they're telling us we're not alone

I can hardly wait to float above the angels
I'm high again off your oxygen
Calling in the dark, you pull me through the stars
I'm so high again off your oxygen

  1. j.... g....

    trop bon !!!!! née en 1963 🤙

  2. J.... �....

    I know this song has nothing to do with weed. But god damn it’s a great song to smoke too. So mellow

  3. T.... ....

    This song was so mild and soft for me at first time. But after listening full album I can say this is the calm song every album needs and I like it very much.

  4. T.... ....

    Such a great, chill but complex song

  5. J.... S....

    Honestly this song makes me feel like I'm not alone. Weird to say but this song makes me think of when you're partying and that moment when you start to feel alone but someone comes over and lifts you up amd brings you back to a beautiful and peaceful feeling

  6. D.... ....

    I love this song so muchhhh

  7. P.... ....

    This is probably the only song I like on Retrograde. The rest is trash compared to their earlier albums.

  8. T.... T....

    This is one of the absolute best songs I've ever heard

  9. A.... :....

    People need to stop bitching about how this album is calmer than their previous albums

  10. C.... G....

    I love how focused this album is...i have outright loved every album theyve released becuz of the diversity and experimentation they always bring and Andys vocal of course...easily in top 10 fav bands

  11. T.... G....

    I'm kind of confused cause we jumped from 2014 & being members of a resistance/being runaways, to 2016 & being.. abducted by aliens? Either way, I love CTE both old and new, I'm just a little confused on the jump

  12. M.... C....

    Omg I love your music so much!!! This album is rly amazing!

  13. a.... t....

    Both is awesome old new u did an awesome job cte

  14. J.... S....

    This song sounds so amazing live

  15. D.... R....

    I get why people might dislike this album it is kind of disappointing but I’m not saying I hate it. This is all new and we have to get used to it if we are really cte fans. They took a big risk in changing their styles which is amazing b/c not everyone is brave enough. Most of you guys shouldn’t be complaining they still have scrams in their songs imagine if they didn’t have any screams and turned into an actual pop band or worse imagine if they separated and they all weren’t a band anymore. Yes we all have opinions some of you are just hating chill in my opinion this is really good the only thing I don’t like is the space vibes but hey I still like the songs and I support them. If you have something negative to say just don’t say it keep it in your head ok I don’t get why people see the point in hating and letting everyone know why your hating.

  16. N.... S....

    this is simply amazing

  17. E.... s....

    I like it :3

  18. I.... G....

    I líke ♥

  19. l.... C....

    omg I love this band!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  20. K.... C....

    Bro I haven't listened to them since The Fallout. tbh this sound so good!!!

  21. E.... G....

    favorite song of the album! keep it up CTE new or old styles!

  22. J.... B....

    Canción fiera

  23. R.... A....

    Crown The Empire - Oxygen Good likes

  24. R.... A....

    Crown The Empire, Good

  25. G.... C....

    listen to this when you're high , YOU WILL NOT REGRET IT

    G.... C....

    Strongest_ sky i'm doing it right now, not really a good song, just maybe decent

  26. R.... M....

    i think its col ,that a band was able to decide wich direction they wanna go. since the producer smostly force them to go a specific (most radio-like) direction.

  27. J.... G....

    at first i wasn't a big fan of the album but now... it's always on repeat i just can't stop listening to it!

  28. A.... M....

    Sucks that I came to the comments wanting to read about what people think this song is about and if it's about weed like I think it is but all it is is a bunch of bitching and complaining. If you like "old CTE" which is barely 5 years old than go listen to old CTE

  29. R.... ....

    New crown the empire is better. Triggered yet butthurts?

  30. K.... S....

    That Purple mattress protector ad is the wierdest shit ive seen so far in 2017

  31. C.... S....

    This is the only song on the album that I am not a huge fan of. The rest of it is amazing!

  32. J.... S....

    I didn't really like this album at first I only really liked lucky us and zero but this album actually really grew on me

  33. n.... ....

    they have shitty vocals, yeah. I don't really think it matches. but damn its a sick ass beat lmao

  34. A.... ....

    CTE💖💜💚💙

  35. W.... K....

    every band matures and makes changes to their next record its a part of life accept that, will cte ever make a record like the fallout or the resistance again? maybe or maybe not but its our job as a fan base that if we like the direction their taking show some love and respect their decision, but if u enjoy their old style find a band thats similar no offense to metalcore or anything(because i actually play in a metalcore band lol) but every band has their own style mixed with the genre but its all the same to a certain extent basically if u enjoy retrograde you'll like whats to come next for cte if not find just stfu, stop bitching, and listen to their old music and find another band that is almost similar them today, case closed

  36. j.... t....

    AWESOME

  37. D.... ....

    I respect CTE for pulling off a more ambient Alternative Rock style.
    Rather than that bullshit teeny mallcore sound that they've been trying to pull off.

  38. D.... G....

    All of you does it really matter...? I mean music is music... Honestly I love this song, but maybe its just me ya know... I know The old CTE was amazing, but lets give this version a shot... I am so why aren't all of you...?

  39. T.... J....

    Fun fact you don't breathe out oxygen. You breath out Carbon Dioxide. Fuck

  40. I.... O....

    I really like the overall chill vibe that Retrograde has, personally. They're changing their sound and trying something different instead of sticking to their typical style and playing it safe, so why can't anyone respect that? All this "thumbs up if you like old CTE better" is getting on my nerves.

  41. M.... G....

    god i love this so much. ❤

  42. A.... X....

    It doesn't matter what category of music they play. I just like their music. I love their voices, I love their instrumentals....I love everything! I love all of their songs. There's not one of their songs that I don't like.

  43. N.... P....

    tbh if you dont like their new music, you can just leave instead of commenting bad things, easy right

  44. T.... T....

    Let me give you an advice people. Don't try to hope that the new upcoming music will be similar to their previous ones. When you will listen to a new album completely forget the image you had of how their music was, and focus on this new one. You'll find this album beautiful.

  45. S.... r....

    youre the air i breath what my lungs need and if i dont get you i could die.
    let me breath you in before it all goes black.
    like the smoke and lust i take the deepest breath and its you i want to pull in.
    the air i need is just you and me. ill breath u in breath u out. i love every whiff i take in. let me breath u in.

  46. S.... r....

    breath you in breath you out. air is a must.

  47. J.... S....

    The amount of views on this video should be so much "higher"

  48. C.... ....

    "The chemicals, I think they’re telling us we’re not alone" <3

    C.... ....

    Chloe20134 :3

  49. M.... S....

    Amazing, love this song. This album is deep

  50. C.... S....

    The reason I love crown the empire were for their profound lyrics and if you actually listen to this album they didn't change, the lyrics are fantastic and so deep in the album :)))))

  51. d.... D....

    omg i love it <3

  52. R.... 1....

    Personally think this one of their best albums

  53. C.... L....

    Idk why everybody is hating Retrograde so bad. I love it just as much as their new stuff. It's a different sound but it's beautiful.

    C.... L....

    old stuff*

  54. J.... W....

    If you heard this without knowing it was Crown The Empire, or without your stupid "it has to be 2007 screamo metalcore to be good music" ideals, you'd love it. If you don't like it... LEAVE lmfao

  55. _.... C....

    This is one of my favorites on the album :)

  56. R.... S....

    Your no longer the top comment! lol jk

  57. R.... B....

    This is my new favorite song. I love all of CTEs songs. This album is certainly affected by Psychadelics, and I love it so much.

    Stay beautiful <3

  58. A.... A....

    Which band I should listen now? BMTH, OMM have been changing in style and now this too?

  59. E.... M....

    CTE never asked for you to like there new stuff. Dont like there new music then dont listen to it problem solved !

  60. T.... ....

    Anyone know any artists or songs similar to this song?

  61. A.... F....

    ALL BANDS CHANGE THEIR MUSIC AFTER TIME STFU APPRECIATE THAT THEY TOOK THE TIME TO RECORD MUSIC FOR FANS (((((:

    A.... F....

    Aleah Frazier FUCK THAT SHIT

    A.... F....

    They recorded it for the money.

  62. a.... ....

    Why is everyone getting pissed? They changed their sound so what? Everyone does. Asking Alexandria, We Came As Romans, I See Stars. They changed their sound and they sound awesome. Granted, this isn't their heaviest album but it definitely good. Just accept the fact that this album is different.

    a.... ....

    Now everyone is pissed on AA :D.

  63. C.... ....

    This song diserves a cod montage to fit it

    C.... ....

    Cod ontages helped them get famous.

  64. F.... M....

    i actually liked crown the empire because of millenia so i prefer the new cte than the old hehe just saying

    F.... M....

    Mellenia was actually total shit

  65. K.... ....

    me at first: ¤ _ ¤ wait is this CTE?

    me after listening to the new album: 😊 ok it's pretty good

  66. I.... C....

    i love crown the empire i love this song and their new album u guys rock crown the empire yayayay

  67. J.... R....

    Guys, they took a chance and changed. They could have just went with their old style and played it safe. But they didn't, because they wanted to change.

    They didn't feel like their old style was really them. I respect them for not just doing another one of their stories, which they know will be a hit for their fans.

    They are doing what they love, and i respect them for that. Stop saying that disrespectful shit like "Thumbs up if you like old crown the empire better". I'm fucking tired of that shit, and i'm pretty sure that the band is too. If you liked their old style better, then there's no reason for you to show hate like this.

    Constructive criticism is one thing. But plain out hate is another thing. So stop being disrespectful.

    Imagine that it was you who decided to do something else because you liked doing it more, and then got a lot of hate like this.

    They risked it all by doing this, so all you can do is show a little respect.

    J.... R....

    +Victoria Lynn I'm late on this but you gotta go to google + and do it

    J.... R....

    +Jacob Rixen You gotta go to google + and like it there.

    J.... R....

    Jacob Rixen Agree and making song is not easy,the fans just hear the song and they make bad comments,very not showing any respect

    J.... R....

    haha sorry dont take it seriously guys!

    J.... R....

    They are doing this kind of music because its cheaper and sells more
    Thats why some guys of the band are dropping out

  68. A.... a....

    we get it you think old cte is better. So, go listen to old cte lmao. No one forced you to listen to this.

  69. M.... W....

    the human body excretes carbon dioxide. How can you be high off her oxygen unless you are in her lungs or bloodstream? Or you're talking about a tree.

    M.... W....

    It's probably a metaphor

    M.... W....

    A Tree??? Like Hayden Tree??

    M.... W....

    +Navina C you're on to something

    M.... W....

    could be talking about the planet-no we fucked up earth XD

    M.... W....

    actually the body wont take in all the oxygen when you breathe.

    easiest way to explain this is like CPR. You breathe into someone else to help get oxygen into their system.

    but to be technical, oxygen is considered a drug and can put you into a euphoric state. that's why it is also used on amublances and such.

  70. Z.... H....

    Change your band name if you guys are gonna keep making bullshit like this.

  71. W.... ....

    We all need to simply realize that our favorite bands grow, each album they make reflects a little bit of what went on in their lives to inspire them to make it. We should be grateful that they continue to make new albums, and remember that they put their all into making this for us. So simply enjoy it.

  72. D.... M....

    CTE when they started - "OMG Metalcore is so good, let's be the best at that."
    CTE now - "Let's play the music we actually like and see who sticks around."

    Sorry make that literally every scene band ever!

  73. a.... R....

    It sounds to me like they decided they wanted to be PVRIS and did an album based off of those feelings haha.

  74. K.... P....

    The only bands on Rise that are consistently getting better are Dance Gavin Dance and Hands Like Houses.

  75. A.... B....

    Good song!

    A.... B....

    i want to see a music video to this song

    A.... B....

    the beat is cOOL

    A.... B....

    your picture is GAYYYY

    A.... B....

    Yes, that's a very happy picture.

    A.... B....

    +Raithen Morph Agreed

  76. A.... S....

    I like it. Its not my type of music but its good

  77. Y.... ....

    idk about you guys but if I made songs like Bloodline over and over again for years I'd go insane. Have some respect and if you seriously don't like this then go make your own music and become this successful with the same heavy song over and over again. Go ahead and try, please.

  78. S.... M....

    good song but sounds like every other song on the recommendations. come out with something new already. this is the same ol shit everyone does. make a difference. this is as generic as it gets

  79. N.... Y....

    I feel like this album will go on radio and stuff in the main radio channels that's why they made it I guess

  80. K.... a....

    W.......T........F is this shit.....there a fucking metalcore band...OH NO...WAIT...WERE A FUCKING METALCORE BAND......ive listened to all the new songs...i was worried after fucking hologram.....but DAMN....i cant stand any of these songs......i mean listen to this...and then go listen to mnstr...WTF......fucking sellouts XD

    K.... a....

    Agreed 100%

    K.... a....

    you're right

    K.... a....

    selling out is telling the same story twice, Being creative is doing your own shit without the constraints fans put onto you to create the same music over and over again without making a single new rhythm.

    K.... a....

    The Fear is Real is actually made with real instruments with pedals and an electronic sound board, when preformed live it is 70% instrument. making this album is practically telling fans that if you are restraint to their old, generic, Same sounding sounds that they can fuck them selves if they can't enjoy it all, So it is practically said in "Are you coming with me?" and "Hologram, In Hologram there is a line that goes: When the walls begin to shake, in the home you thought you knew; will you run? will you stay? will you choose?" Meaning its up to you if you want to run away from it just because they decide to shake shit up a little or will you stay and adapt and enjoy.

    K.... a....

    this is like emmure going pop punk.. lameness

  81. d.... ....

    Brazil on? Br on! Great instrumental.

  82. M.... H....

    wtf is this?

  83. J.... L....

    Soooo for those ppl who think that CTE is going soft, have you ever heard their song Cross Out Bones????? Cuz there are more cleans than screams from Dave AND it is one of their old songs, so do you all hate that song too? I personally really like it btw.

    J.... L....

    People say they aren't listening to their fans when the album is rated 5 stars smh, lol If you guys want more heavy metal stuff then leave and listen to unintelligible screams and I'll just stay here and listen to this work of art with beautiful and profound lyrics

    J.... L....

    @Edd M Preach it man

    J.... L....

    BMTH changed their sound cause the screaming was straining Oliver's vocal chords. He isn't able to keep screaming, he screams live but he can't do it as often anymore. Screaming after years really damages the vocal chords, many has had to go through surgery to at least give them the ability to still sing.

    J.... L....

    @Mr Sweaty NeckBeard It damages them if you don't do it right

    J.... L....

    Hmm yes, the fact that they made a singular soft song a while ago completely shatters the argument that all of the songs on this album are soft. Great comment.

  84. J.... ....

    It's obvious cte have changed their style so much, and every opinion is valid. I respect their decision to move on and try new things but this album hasn't been what I expected it to be.

  85. N.... S....

    BieberCore

    N.... S....

    lmao, good one.

    N.... S....

    not really bieber will make your ears die. This wont

    N.... S....

    that's why I call it with a "CORE" prefix.

  86. d.... ....

    I'm surprised people didn't see this style coming with the release of the two full band songs off of the Delux edition of their last album. They were totally poppy generic sounding songs. There are still some good songs here on this album though

    d.... ....

    "Poppy generic" GAG XD what is generic pop? Drake, JB, Sia? I don't see that in any of this.

  87. J.... D....

    This Is Crown The Empire?!?!?!?! You Sure!?!?!?!

  88. D.... M....

    this is better than my whole existence

  89. E.... H....

    I like how I still support a band even if they change their style uwu

  90. C.... ....

    The vibes

  91. B.... F....

    whether people love or hate it, everybody has an opinion. so EVERYONE stop getting so butt hurt if people don't like it. that is whats so great about music, everybody expresses it differently and that's amazing.

    B.... F....

    I agree 100% with you!

    B.... F....

    +JaredLandVEVO shut up

    B.... F....

    I get that people have opinions but having an opinion and being rude and calling them names are two different things

    B.... F....

    Brooke Fab agreed

  92. Z.... ....

    Retrograde is too boring.

    Z.... ....

    all the other albums are boring i actually found this one to be a roller coaster because it takes you through the high and lows

  93. A.... ....

    I am so glad I can accept change!

  94. S.... R....

    rip crown the empire...m

  95. G.... G....

    this song is so calming, take a second to listen to Andy's vocals and shut the fuck up about crown changing, if you don't like it, leave.

  96. A.... W....

    Softer but okay

  97. a.... l....

    Wow I'm pretty early I wasn't expecting that but I've been seeing a bunch of people who are upset about crown the empire changing guys calm down people change and that's what bands are they're just people and they won't be the same forever they're not gods sorry they're just people and if one day you changed a whole lot and opened up about it you would want to feel valid and accepted, right? So calm down. Sorry that's all

    a.... l....

    There's a video on the AP channel where Andy talks about the album and why it's different I think people haven't seen it so they don't understand why this album is different
