Possession
Blood And Roses Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Don't you dare
Put your claws away
I'm not done
With the chase

I'm stuck on over-drive
And I can't find my brakes
The world's a witch
And I burned her at the stake

There's no escape
You've fallen under it and now it's too late
Just one touch, you'll be chained at my side
I'll possess you when you're burning up my mind

Call me a monster
Call me what you like
Call me what you like

Call me possessed
Call it what you like
I just call it sex

Don't you dare crawl away
My possession's nothing you can escape
Seduction is my game and hell is my place
The devil's a bitch and spit in her face

Enter your body and take control
Possess my mind and heart and soul
Bring you down onto your knees
You'll go through hell and worship me

Enter your body and take control
Possess my mind and heart and soul
Bring you down onto your knees
You'll go through hell and worship me

Call me a monster
Call me what you like
Call me what you like

Call me possessed
Call it what you like
I just call it sex

Light me up
Burn me baby
You can set me on fire
But you can't kill me

I take control
Of your head
You can call it love
But I just call it sex

Call me what you like
Call me what you like

Call me a monster
Call me what you like
Call me what you like

Call me possessed
Call it what you like
I just call it sex

Enter your body and take control
Possess my heart and heart and soul




Bring you down onto your knees
You'll go through hell and worship me

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Blood And Roses's song Possession seem to be about someone who is deeply possessive, and possibly even abusive, in a romantic relationship. The first verse speaks of the chase, indicating that the singer is focused on pursuing their partner, and won't stop until they possess them completely. They describe themselves as being "stuck on over-drive," meaning that they are driven by their need to possess and control their partner. The line "the world's a witch, and I burned her at the stake" suggests that the singer has some deep-seated anger or bitterness that they have directed towards the world around them.


The second verse goes on to describe the singer's grip over their partner, using language of seduction and ownership. They describe their partner as being "chained at [their] side," and as having "fallen under it" - presumably, under the singer's spell. The singer seems to relish in their power over their partner, stating that they will "possess [them] when [they're] burning up [the singer's] mind." The chorus repeats the idea that the singer is a monster or possessed, but that this is just another way of describing sex.


Overall, the lyrics of Possession leave a chilling impression of a deeply controlling and abusive relationship. The singer uses language of ownership and control, and seems to take pleasure in abusing their partner both physically ("bring you down onto your knees") and mentally ("possess my mind and heart and soul"). The line "seduction is my game and hell is my place" hints at some deeper issues or trauma that the singer may be grappling with, but ultimately the song portrays a highly unhealthy and dangerous relationship dynamic.

A shame they didn't release much. Saw them live at the time but this is off the eventual album which is not good. The cassette of demos which I still have is much better
