Possessed
Eagulls Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The voice inside my head tells me to flinch who I see
I flip my...
Don't think I have a problem,
I just think I like to feel
I'm possessed
I'm possessed
I'm possessed
I don't want to know you
Because I'm something else!
I don't want to know you
Because I'm something else!
I'm possessed
I'm possessed
I'm possessed
I'm possessed
I don't want to know you
Because I'm something else!
I don't want to know you
Because I'm something else!
I'm possessed
I'm possessed
I'm possessed
I'm possessed
I am still free, I can't seem to think
The voice inside my head tells me to flinch when I see
I flip my...
Don't think I have a problem,
I just think I like to feel
I'm possessed
The lyrics to Eagulls's song Possessed seem to be about feeling disconnected from society and one's own thoughts. The singer claims to be "free" but cannot seem to think, possibly due to feeling overwhelmed by their own thoughts or the expectations of others. The voice inside their head tells them to "flinch" at what they see, which could suggest a sense of unease or discomfort with their surroundings or the people they encounter.
The repeated refrain of "I'm possessed" can be interpreted in a few ways. On one hand, it could be seen as the singer acknowledging that they are not in control of their own thoughts and actions, as if they are being controlled by an external force. On the other hand, it could be read as a defiant statement of individuality - the singer is possessed by their own unique identity, which sets them apart from others.
The final lines of the song suggest that the singer does not want to know others because they are "something else." This could be seen as a rejection of societal norms and expectations, or it could be interpreted as a fear of being misunderstood or judged by others. Overall, the lyrics to Possessed convey a sense of unease and disconnection, while also hinting at a desire for individuality and autonomy.

Great song. Great band. Yes I also hear influences of The Cure and The Clash as well as My Bloody Valentine. But there also seems to be influence from Mogwai, Built To Spill, Squirrel Bait, Sonic Youth, The Smiths.

Heard this on college radio, until the singer came In I almost thought this was a cut from the new Horrors album. Great sound
