Obsession
Hyper-X Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I cannot sleep
I am your possession
Unopened at your feet
There's no balance
No equality
Be still I will not accept defeat
Yes, I will have you
I will find a way and I will have you
Like a butterfly
A wild butterly
I will collect you and capture you
You are an obsession
You're my obsession
Who do you want me to be
To make you sleep with me
You are an obsession
You're my obsession
Who do you want me to be
To make you sleep with me
I feed you I drink you
My day and my night
I need you I need you
By sun or candlelight
You protest
You want to leave
Stay
Oh, there's no alternative
Your face appears again
I see the beauty there
But I see danger
Stranger beware
A circumstance
In your naked dreams
Your affection is not what it seems
You are an obsession
You're my obsession
Who do you want me to be
To make you sleep with me
You are an obsession
You're my obsession
Who do you want me to be
To make you sleep with me
My fantasy has turned to madness
And all my goodness
Has turned to badness
My need to possess you
Has consumed my soul
My life is trembling
I have no control
I will have you
Yes, I will have you
I will find a way and I will have you
Like a butterfly
A wild butterly
I will collect you and capture you
You are an obsession
You're my obsession
Who do you want me to be
To make you sleep with me
You are an obsession
You're my obsession
Who do you want me to be
To make you sleep with me
These lyrics tell the story of an intense obsession that consumes the singer's thoughts and actions. The singer is deeply infatuated with someone and desperately wants to possess them. The obsession has taken over their life to the point where they cannot sleep, and they view the person as their possession, willing to do whatever it takes to have them.
There is an imbalance and lack of equality in this obsessive relationship. The singer refuses to accept defeat and is determined to find a way to have the person they desire. They compare their pursuit to capturing a wild butterfly, wanting to collect and possess them fully.
The lyrics also portray a sense of danger and deception. The singer sees the beauty in the person's face but also recognizes the potential harm in getting involved with them. However, their obsession blinds them to the true nature of the situation, and they continue to crave the person's affection, unaware that it may not be genuine.
As the obsession intensifies, the singer's fantasy turns into madness, and their once noble intentions become twisted. The desire to possess the person completely consumes their soul, leaving them trembling and losing control over their own life.
Overall, these lyrics illustrate the destructive nature of obsession and the lengths one can go to fulfill their desires, disregarding the well-being and consent of the person they are obsessed with.
