Obsession
LIVING ROOM - Kylie Minogue Lyrics
Jump to: Line by Line Meaning ↴
You're counting down the days
'Till I fall from my pedestal
And then you can rescue me
All the world can see
You're the center of it all
We gave it our best try
We were better off alone
But now that's all gone for you
And life is wrong for you
But I can't help that
You don't need love
It's a question of obsession
So drawn to your own reflection
You want someone
Like a personal possession
To shine light on your perfection
Call me up a thousand times
You're hanging on the line
Waiting for me to react
But we've been here before
And when I closed the door
I never wanted a second act
I saw it all clearly
But you didn't hear me
Thought our love was centre stage
But now that's all gone for us
And you are dangerous
And I can't help that
You don't need love
It's a question of obsession
So drawn to your own reflection
You want someone
Like a personal possession
To shine light on your perfection
You don't need love
It's a question of obsession
So drawn to your own reflection
You want someone
Like a personal possession
To shine light on your perfection
Gave my heart a thousand times
And I can't count the nights
That I cried myself to sleep
But now I'm so over you
And I see what you do
Your sincerity's kinda cheap
Remember the mind games
Driving me insane
When my life was not my own
And even though you have gone
It still carries on
And I can't stop it
You don't need love
It's a question of obsession
So drawn to your own reflection
You want someone
Like a personal possession
To shine light on your perfection
You don't need love
It's a question of obsession
So drawn to your own reflection
You want someone
Like a personal possession
To shine light on your perfection
Dress me up a thousand ways
Manipulate me and control my every appearance and behavior
You're counting down the days
You are eagerly anticipating the moment when I lose my status and need your help
'Till I fall from my pedestal
Until I lose my position of superiority and become vulnerable
And then you can rescue me
And then you can save or protect me from the consequences of my fall
All the world can see
Everyone can clearly see your importance and influence
You're the center of it all
You believe you are the focal point and most important person in everything
We gave it our best try
We put in our utmost effort
But then it was goodbye
But eventually we had to part ways
We were better off alone
We were happier and more fulfilled when we were not together
But now that's all gone for you
But now you have lost that sense of contentment
And life is wrong for you
And now you feel dissatisfied with your life
But I can't help that
But I have no control over your emotions or life circumstances
You don't need love
Love is not your requirement or desire
It's a question of obsession
It's about your overwhelming fixation on me
So drawn to your own reflection
So intensely attracted to and focused on your own image and self-interest
You want someone
You desire to possess someone
Like a personal possession
Like an object that solely belongs to you
To shine light on your perfection
To validate and highlight your supposed flawlessness
Call me up a thousand times
Keep contacting me repeatedly
You're hanging on the line
You are anxiously waiting for my response or reaction
Waiting for me to react
Expecting me to respond or take action
But we've been here before
But we have experienced this situation previously
And when I closed the door
And when I ended our connection
I never wanted a second act
I had no desire to continue or restart our relationship
I saw it all clearly
I had a clear understanding of the situation
But you didn't hear me
But you didn't listen or comprehend my perspective
Thought our love was centre stage
Believed that our love was the primary focus and important aspect
But now that's all gone for us
But now we have lost that sense of importance and significance
And you are dangerous
And you pose a threat or risk to my well-being
And I can't help that
And I am unable to change or control your behavior
Gave my heart a thousand times
I gave my love wholeheartedly on numerous occasions
And I can't count the nights
And there were countless nights
That I cried myself to sleep
When I cried myself to sleep due to emotional pain
But now I'm so over you
But now I have completely moved on from you
And I see what you do
And I see through your actions and intentions
Your sincerity's kinda cheap
Your genuineness and authenticity lack depth or value
Remember the mind games
Recall the manipulative tactics and psychological tricks
Driving me insane
Causing me to become mentally unstable or deranged
When my life was not my own
When I had no control or autonomy over my own life
And even though you have gone
And even though you are no longer present
It still carries on
The effects or impact of your actions still persist
And I can't stop it
And I am powerless to prevent or halt it
