Obsession
Melly Mike Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Being in a crowd ain't gonna give you attention
All these missed calls you still ain't get the message
You're not in love it's just an obsession
You're not in love, in love, in love
You're not in love it's just an obsession
You're not in love, in love, in love
You're not in love it's just an obsession
I'm the reason that we even had all these issues
Don't want you to leave, think bout everything that we've been thru
You can blame me maybe it's something wе could fix to-
Gether when I'm with you
I needеd someone to vent to"
Now I'm lighting gas no gaslighting
Really in my bag ya it's so exciting
Phone buzzin
I pick up and
It's you crying
You said you need guidance
And I said
Girl my loving ain't gonna cure your depression
Being in a crowd ain't gonna give you attention
All these missed calls you still ain't get the message
You're not in love it's just an obsession
You're not in-
Got you running right back
Coming right back
Runnin right back
Coming right comin
Got you runnin right back
Coming right back to me
To me cuz
My loving ain't gonna cure your depression
Being in a crowd ain't gonna give you attention
All these missed calls you still ain't get the message
You're not in love it's just an obsession
You're not in love, in love, in love
You're not in love it's just an obsession
You're not in love, in love, in love
You're not in love it's just an obsession
The lyrics to Melly Mike's song "Obsession" depict a dysfunctional relationship where the singer's partner is suffering from depression and seeks their attention and validation as a cure. However, the singer recognizes that their love cannot solve their partner's problems or provide the attention they seek in crowds. The repeated phrase "You're not in love, it's just an obsession" emphasizes the singer's realization that their partner's fixation on them is not love, but rather an unhealthy attachment.
The second verse expands on the partner's neediness and dependency on the singer, as they apologize for the issues in their relationship and express their desire for the singer to stay. The singer acknowledges the toxicity of the relationship by using the phrase "gaslighting" to describe their previous behavior and the term "guidance" to describe their partner's current need for reassurance. The chorus repeats throughout the song, driving home the message that the partner's obsession is not healthy or sustainable.
Overall, the lyrics to "Obsession" touch on themes of mental health, codependency, and the importance of recognizing unhealthy relationships. The singer acknowledges their partner's struggles with depression but ultimately recognizes that they cannot be the solution.
