Obsessed
Ina Wroldsen Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I try to climb into your skin
I try to locate the beating
Of your, your, your, your heart
Of your, your, your, your heart
I walked for hours inside you
I talked in my voice and tried to
Find your, your, your, your heart
Find your, your, your, your heart

I ran through all your veins
I saw all of your visions
I found all of you, babe
But I couldn't find me anywhere
And now I'm stuck inside of you

Baby, you gotta let me, you gotta let me out
I gotta get free, I gotta get free, oh, baby
I'm too invested, I can't get obsessed with you
Baby, you gotta let me, you gotta let me out
I gotta get free, I gotta get free, oh, baby
I'm too invested, I can't get obsessed with you

You keep my heartbeat in your teeth
And scissors cutting into me
All your, your, your, your dark
All my, my, my, my light

I ran through all your veins
I saw all of your visions
I found all of you, babe
But I couldn't find me anywhere
And now I'm stuck inside of you

Baby, you gotta let me, you gotta let me out
I gotta get free, I gotta get free, oh, baby
I'm too invested, I can't get obsessed with you
Baby, you gotta let me, you gotta let me out
I gotta get free, I gotta get out, oh, baby
I'm too invested, I can't get obsessed with you

I feel your mouth when you kiss her lips
I trace her skin with your fingertips
I see her the way you do and it hurts
Ooh-ooh-ooh

Baby, you gotta let me, you gotta let me out
I gotta get free, I gotta get free, oh, baby (Baby)
I'm too invested, I can't get obsessed with you
Baby, you gotta let me, you gotta let me out




I gotta get free, I gotta get out, oh, baby
I'm too invested (I'm too invested), I can't get obsessed with you

Overall Meaning

The song "Obsessed" by Ina Wroldsen is about being in a relationship with someone who occupies your every thought and action, to the point where you feel trapped and unable to be your own person. The singer of the song seems to have lost her sense of self within the confines of her partner's world. She sings about trying to "climb into [his] skin" in an attempt to see the world through his eyes, but ultimately cannot find herself within his being. She feels like she has lost control and is "stuck inside of you," unable to break free from the obsession that is consuming her.


The chorus pleads with the partner to release her from this obsession, proclaiming that she is too invested to become fully obsessed with him. She mentions feeling his mouth when he kisses someone else, and tracing the woman's skin with his fingertips, which causes her intense pain. The song is a poignant look at the danger of losing oneself in a relationship and the emotional toll that it can take.


Overall, "Obsessed" is a powerful song about the perils of obsession and the need for autonomy in relationships.

I don't know how to explain, but some songs give me such a special feeling. It brings back old memories but also makes me happy and sad at the same time.
You guys know what I mean?
