Obsession
Éric Lapointe Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Sans hésiter dans mon cœur de bâtard
Tu as planté tes griffes
J'avais oublié qu'un regard
Pouvait frapper comme une gifle

Patient, je t'attends depuis lors
Prêt à reluire dans l'effort
Nos bouches s’entretouchent et se font languir
À bout de souffle, toutes enflées de désir

Je m'abreuverai encore et encore
À la paume de tes mains
Laisse-moi m'enivrer de ton corps
Me saouler à la sève de tes seins

Tu m'attises
Sous ton emprise
Obsession, j'ai soif de ta peau
Obsession, de toi, je suis accro
Obsession, tu es celle qu'il me faut
Ne t'approche pas trop

Tu es la promesse qui hante mes pulsions
Ma déesse aux yeux de charbon
Tes caresses me donnent des palpitations
Ma belle tigresse, tu me fais perdre la raison

Tu es ma faiblesse, ma passion
Allez, viens ma maîtresse, belle obsession
Je trouverai le repos
Quand tes ongles laceront mon dos

Douce hantise
Tu m'attises
Obsession, j'ai soif de ta peau
Obsession, de toi, je suis accro
Obsession, tu es celle qu'il me faut
Ne t'approche pas trop

Si tu savais comme tu m'attises, comme tu m'aiguises
Tu m'ériges, tu m'épuises, j'ai peine à dormir
Tellement, tellement, tellement tu m'attises

Tu es mon
Obsession, j'ai soif de ta peau
Obsession, de toi, je suis accro
Obsession, tu es celle qu'il me faut
Ne t'approche pas trop




Ne t'approche pas trop
Ne t'approche pas trop

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Éric Lapointe's song Obsession explore themes of desire, longing, and addiction in a passionate yet dark manner. The singer (who identifies himself as a "bâtard" or bastard) is completely overpowered by his obsession with an unnamed woman who he describes as his "déesse aux yeux de charbon" or goddess with coal-black eyes. He is enslaved by her, symbolized by her claws or "griffes" that she has planted deep into his heart. Even a single glance from her is enough to strike him like a blow, showing just how powerful his obsession truly is.


Despite his overwhelming desire for her, the singer seems to understand the dangerous nature of their relationship. He pleads with her to not "t'approche pas trop" or approach him too closely, recognizing the harm that their passion could cause. However, he cannot help himself and continues to crave her touch, describing his desire to "m'enivrer de ton corps / Me saouler à la sève de tes seins" or to become drunk with her body and revel in the essence of her breasts.


The lyrics paint a vivid picture of an intense and all-consuming obsession that borders on addiction, yet also acknowledges the danger and harm that such a relationship can bring. Lapointe's raw and emotive vocals add to the intensity of the lyrics, making it a powerful song that leaves a lasting impact on the listener.
