Obsessions
Marina Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

ฉันพยายามจะทำทุกอย่าง
เพื่อเดินไปตามความฝัน
ฉันมีจุดหมายที่ฉันตั้งใจว่าฉันต้องไปตรงนั้น
ฉันปีนขึ้นไปจนถึงจุดสูงสุดที่ใครใครก็ฝัน
ที่จุดนี้ที่เคยคิดว่าต้องเป็นของฉัน

ฉันพยายามจะเป็นอีกคนที่ไม่ใช่ตัวฉัน
ฉันต้องแสดงว่าฉันเป็นใครอีกคนที่ฉันฝัน

ฉันทำทุกทางเพื่อได้ความรักจากคนที่ต้องการ
คนคนนั้นที่ดูเหมือนคนในฝัน

หลงในภาพที่ลวงสายตา
หลงเดินทางผิดมาตั้งไกล
รู้อีกทีก็ไม่เหลือใคร
เย่

ปลายทางทางที่ตัวฉันเดินไป
ปลายทางทางที่ใจเคยไขว่คว้า
มันไกลไกลเท่าไรที่เดินมา
ไม่เจออะไรเลยสักอย่าง

บางคนคนที่ดูเหมือนจริงใจ
บางคนคนที่ใครปรารถนา
ความจริงเป็นแค่เพียงภาพลวงตา
ไม่มีอะไรจริงสักอย่าง
ไม่มีอะไรจริงสักอย่าง

Overall Meaning

In "Obsessions," Marina & the Diamonds sing about the pursuit of dreams and the desire to become someone else in order to achieve them. The lyrics convey a sense of longing and desperation as the singer tries to escape from her current identity and become the person she dreams of being. She climbs to the highest point, hoping to reach her goal and find something meaningful, but ultimately realizes that everything she has been chasing is just an illusion. The chorus repeats the idea that true love and happiness are elusive and that reality is often just an illusion.

The song's up-tempo beat and catchy melody somewhat mask the sadness and disillusionment expressed in the lyrics, lending the song a bittersweet quality. Overall, "Obsessions" is a poignant meditation on the human search for happiness and how our desires and expectations may cloud our vision.

"Supermarket, oh, what packet of crackers to pick?
They're all the same, one brand, one name, but really they're not
Look, look, just choose something quick
People are staring, time ticker-quicking, skin is on fire
Just choose something, something, something
Pressure overwhelming
Next minute, I am turning out of the door
Facing one week without food
A day, a day, when things, things are pretty bad
But don't let it make you feel sad
The crackers were probably bad luck anyway."
this is me everytime in the supermarket, and i hate it.

Every single time I watch this video, it breaks my heart. When she's putting the individual pieces together, I feel like it's the circumstances of life that make up little parts of us - how every screw is put in, the bars laid out the exact way... It's reminiscent of the way I see some of the crap that happens in people's lives. Blessings in disguise. The way the diamond comes together at the end, discernible only in the last 15 or so seconds, not perfectly aligned but still beautiful... I guess that's life. That's the big picture.

This song is the best representation of OCD in any song out there. It shows how sometimes just doing everyday things can be ruining by your brain just by one little epitome. Going to the supermarket, but if you don’t choose the right packet, something bad will happen. Maybe they were just bad luck anyways? It’s a perfect example. You’re constantly worrying about that stuff— what feels right— what is right, because if you choose wrong something terrible could happen. Thank you Marina for this masterpiece!

As a guy with obsessive compulsive disorder, I relate to the lyrics of this song eerily well... Man, I wish Marina could be my psychiatrist. I heard she wanted to go into psychology if her musical career didn't work out, but thankfully it did work out. Yet, you can see her fascination with psychology and the human mind in several of her songs, like this one.

@allerweltskind7716

8y↑904

I think the song is about more than 1 thing, most of her songs are. But for me personally, it's like she wants to explain her anxiety. She is stuck inside a cycle of fear and she can't get out, in the night overthinking works even better than over day what sucks, on some days you are fine and everything is okay, on other days it's difficult just to breathe, on Sundays anxiety hits because you're anxious about Monday, anxiety makes you act/feel like you have an OCD often, you feel like people are staring and like your cheeks are red all the time and you may be not able to buy something in a supermarket, you always try to get out of a situation that you're anxious about.

You are right. This song is about what you’ve written. That OCD part hits too hard, also how many times I left the store because I felt like people were waiting and I was just blocking the aisle, the pressure was extremely overwhelming so I left with nothing..
I deal with severe anxiety, depression, ocd, Ed, bipolar and addictions so Marina’s songs feel like she wrote them for me to save me. Been a Diamond for over 10 years and always will be, she was my best friend when I was a teenager (TFJ and EH eras) and helped me become a 24 yr old adult I am today 💎🖤

@eden_marie

4y↑14

you don't act/feel "an" ocd. OCD is a mental disorder. it's not at all like what you said. please use better wording because it can be misleading

@SlavicRusa

4y↑10

@@eden_marie like any other disorder we spoke about. A person feels and acts on it, otherwise you wouldn’t be able to be diagnosed with it like ever. And every OCD is different, even the intrusive thoughts thing depends on a person, there’s no one definition of it. Yeah anxiety and OCD are two different things but they meet at certain points and have a lot of similarities. A lot of OCD develops from untreated anxiety. Unless you had something different in mind.

Ha, it's funny you say that. I have a mental illness that causes me to have panic attacks. Often times when I go out in public I will wear a hood/hat and headphones to help myself stay calm.

marina's music has been such a constant in my life. been listening since I was about 11 years old (am 23 now) and I don't even know how to describe how much her music means to me. made me feel less alone, put sounds and lyrics to emotions I couldn't describe and helped me work through that shizz and was a comforting reassurance. even the super-sad songs were such a comfort because music is a safe space in which to feel whatever you're feeling.
her style has grown so much, and it was so wonderful to me that her songs had describing new emotions that I had been experiencing as well, new concepts that I had been considering and that always feels scary when you do it alone so to be able to form a soundtrack to it is amazing and to be reminded that anything you feel or struggle with, others also feel similar things as well. we are never truly alone ever.

the raw pain and loneliness in the earlier albums have been softened by a whole lot of tenderness, empathy, love for people and humanity and introspection and while the change in tone is no less beautiful, I think it is pretty friggin cool how if you listen to her albums from her oldest to her newest work, you can hear the emotional growth so very tangibly. i think artists sharing their work like this is just so powerful, we need 'em, and Marina is truly one of the Greats. bless. <3

At the beginning I figured this was supposed to be like displaying OCD in a way, with her making everything fit in the shapes but in a way, she's showing that her "obsession" is making this diamond, and diamonds are both her fans and her family supporting her. Everyone has their obsessions. Marina's is making songs and pleasing her diamonds.

This song was something that keept me srong when times were bad. My illness got so bad when I was 15 that I couldn't get out of house or even get up from bed, my life was one compulsion after another and lots of your songs made me not want to gave up. My OCD always went hand to hand with my Anorexia at my worst I weighted 50kg to haight of 183cm. And this was the only song that describes how I felt, I can't help but cry when part with crackers comes up bescause it's so fucking real. I just want to say thank you for making this song.

i used to think this song was painful bc it was kind of a abusive relationship where they are very poor and have to steal food for living and live between love and hate but now thinking if it a little bit more its even more painful bc its a representation of anxiety all the thoughts in her head and how she feels... all the self shame hate and nerves all over the place... even sadder... thanks marina im at grammar class and about to cry

Marina, unlike some of others "popstars", is very honest and wrote her songs herself. Also, she doesn't talk about money and her love story in her songs, but topics like anxiety or here, OCD.

That's some of the many reasons I love her. She's a great artist that keeps music alive today.
