Lacuna Coil – Oxygen (Official Music Video)

Lacuna Coil – Oxygen (Official Music Video)

“Oxygen” is a powerful exploration of emotional struggle and inner conflict. The lyrics convey a sense of drowning in a toxic environment, both literally (in the video) and metaphorically, where attempts at salvation, represented by “oxygen” are somehow futile. This song encapsulates the feeling of struggling to break free from what holds us down, when the journey is filled with difficulty. It’s a raw anthem of vulnerability, resilience, and the courage to face what seems insurmountable. Having to stay in the water for so many hours during the video shoot was cathartic for me, the realisation that the pleasant sensation of floating could in an instant become dangerous and deadly if I wasn’t careful was very fitting with the song’s theme.” - Lacuna Coil, October 2024

► Lyrics:
Cut off the bullshit we’re falling apart
Stop wasting my time
Fight
 
When I look for confrontation
You hesitate, run away   
Isolation like prison
Inner self to escape
 
Inhale
Ready to dive
 
Your oxygen is not enough to save me
Trapped in toxic waters I forgot to breathe  
I cave in as i’m leaving everything behind
I’ve been craving something I can’t have
And you’re wasting my time 
Let’s get in this battle now
 
Then you seek for compensation 
But you’ve got nothing in trade
Annihilation of dreams and
Only yourself to blame
Let’s break
 
Cut off your bullshit it’s all said and done
You’re too late
I’m pulling the plug
 
We’re fading from the inside
It’s an inner struggle
Fight
Ready to die
 
My breath is getting lighter
I float on crimson waters
 
In this everyday battle
Fight

THANK YOU all for this incredible response! Keep on watching the video and pass it over someone who needs to here these words 🖤

[lacunacoil]

Thanks everyone for watching! Lots of comments asking so here you go: the guitarist in the video is a good friend of ours, Daniele Salomone from the band INVERNO, who helped in the new album recording sessions and will perform with us live in the upcoming shows 🤘

[rabidsmiles]

I cannot believe that 20 years later, this band continues to bring the best music and continue to perfect their sound. I cannot wait to see you guys live again!

[Zombot]

Just a gentle reminder Cristina Scabbia is 52 freakin years old. Gal looks at least 20 years younger, what a timeless beauty and talent she is!

[LolesPG]

New music from LACUNA COIL? Count me in.

[creativemetalhead]

10/10 from the band again. Cristina’s acting was so good! 🔥

[sonofvenice]

Cristina's voice is just mesmerizing.. entrancing. Wow. Awesome job, LC!! This album is gonna be LIT!!!

[cthulhu]

Cant believe cristina is over 50 now, she doesn't look a day over 30! So beautiful 🥰💖

[blackmrpheus]

They're like the good wine. The more they get older, the more they taste good! Heavier than ever

[rayne_shadow]

Yes!!! I Love it! I've been listening since I was 16 I'm 34 now and I'm so happy to have new music!!!

[amykins]

This the the BEST they have ever sounded, and they've been phenomenal for 20 years. How the hell does that happen. I've been listening to the EP on repeat since it dropped. I'm absolutely dumbfounded.

[JohnyBassLover]

I would like to say that bass and Andrea scream is perfect . But it won't be fair, all members done an outstanding job .

[markcantrell]

I feel at peace inside when I hear her voice

[mohammadsaeedrouhi]

How can a band just get better and better as years pass by?

[Darkfyre]

Was once one of the best Gothic Metal bands ever, and guess what? They still are! I love some of the new directions Christina is pushing her voice. This band was one of my favorites 20 years ago and still is and always will be!

[RandyVampiro]

All Hail The Mighty, Mighty Lacuna Coil!

[andreyalekseev]

That heavy-melodic sound is just inexplicably awesome

[raishakisaragi]

I still dont understand why you guys arent more famous... We should be hearing your songs on the radio but I have never heard a LC song on the radio in the USA

[pathhapp]

I don't know how they keep impressing me after all these years, or rather decades, of listening, but they do. This is magnificent.

[novaspanker]

Im so happy Lacuna Coil is still jamming. I love how they have progressivly gotten heavier and heavier. I love their last cd
