Obsession
Lorna Shore Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Where is your reason?
Where is your reason?
I′m fucking exhausted running from all of this
Why can't I accept my inevitable death?
What we can not see is not enough for me
To blindly believe all of these bullshit theories
Where is your reason?
I can′t shake this, I can't seem to get away
This dark cloud of cessation follows me everyday
My fixation, my obsession
I can't shake this, I can′t seem to get away
The fear of nothingness after we decay
My fixation, my obsession
Demoralization immobilizes my fearful skin
Blacked out and blinded from my obsession within
I hear weeping sorrows and chants from the prophet
I awaken to my lifeless body in my coffin
My fixation, my obsession
Has obscured my reality by total possession
My fixation, my obsession
Where is your reason?
Where is your reason?
I′m fucking exhausted running from all of this
Why can't I accept my inevitable death?
Where is your reason?
Where is your reason?
Lorna Shore's song "Obsession" is a reflection on the haunting fixation with death and the great beyond. The lyrics explore the darkness that envelopes the mind of the singer, who seems to be burdened by an obsession with the unknown and the inexplicable. The song begins with the commanding line "My fixation, my obsession", which sets the tone for the rest of the song. The singer is struggling to make sense of his existence and reconcile with his mortality. He repeatedly questions "Where is your reason?" - an inquiry into the existence of a higher power and the reason for his suffering.
The second stanza delves deeper into the singer's despair as he admits to being "fucking exhausted" running from all of his fears and doubts. He wonders why he can't accept his inevitable death and seeks refuge in religion and other "bullshit theories". He is looking for something concrete to believe in and something that will offer him peace of mind. In the final stanza, the singer is resigned to his fate as he shares his terrifying vision of death and the fear of nothingness. He has become so consumed by his obsession that even in his death, he is unable to escape from it.
