Possession
Lena Fayre Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You don't own anything
Nothing is meant to be
Holding hands with broken arms
A generation of stars

Yes (yes, yes, yes, yes, yes)
I am free
You can watch me be
Am I an icon of this movement?
I am an icon of his movement

Do you want what I've got?
I will help you play along
But as long as I am free
Just don't expect anything from me

Baby, are you happy now?
Baby, are you happy now?
Baby, are you happy now?
Baby, are you happy now?

You don't own anything
Nothing is meant to be
Holding hands with broken arms
A generation of stars

Don't you see?
I'm revolutionary
To forsake the longing
Your standards of belonging

I thought about you once
That's all, it didn't mean much
Don't tell me what you want
Cuz I do it all for me and me for all

Baby, are you happy now?
Baby, are you happy now?
Baby, are you happy now?
Baby, are you happy now?




Baby, are you happy now?
Baby, are you happy now?

Overall Meaning

Lena Fayre's song Possession is a song that challenges the idea of ownership and belonging. The lyrics suggest that nothing is meant to be owned and that holding onto things too tightly can lead to brokenness. The line "a generation of stars" could be interpreted as a reference to the idea of celebrity and how people often view famous individuals as possessions to be admired and owned by fans. The chorus repeats the question, "Baby, are you happy now?", which could be seen as a sarcastic jab at those who strive for ownership and possessions as a means of finding happiness.


The lyrics also touch on the idea of individuality and freedom. The line "Yes, I am free. You can watch me be" suggests that the singer is comfortable with their own individuality, and that others are free to observe but not to control. The line "I'm revolutionary to forsake the longing" suggests that the singer is rejecting societal norms and expectations, and that they are choosing to live their life as an individual and not as part of a collective.


Overall, the lyrics suggest a rejection of societal expectations and the desire to live life as an individual. The repeated question, "Baby, are you happy now?" suggests that true happiness cannot be found through ownership, possessions, or conformity.

Wow! This 19-year-old singer, really puts the charts musicians to shame, both in regards to lyrics and voice. This challenges, unfolds and disolves today's indie-pop music, in the best possible way. Simply devine! I'm obsessed. Thank you so much, Lena Fayre From Denmark
