Obsession
Misery Inc. Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Which way to go? Which one is real? What can I take? What can I steal?
Is it worth trying at all? We're living in peace, this is not war!
Someone help me with my obsession. I'm so close to giving up!
I seize to wonder. Don't follow me, I'm going under.
Fool them once, fool them twice, with smile on my face I swallow their lies.
Someone help me with my obsession. I'm so close to giving up!
I seize to wonder. Don't follow me, I'm going under.
Breaking point of my self-deception, somehow I'm running out!
My conscience slumbers. Don't follow me, I'm going under.
The lyrics to Misery Inc.'s song "Obsession" focus on the theme of inner turmoil and struggle, specifically with the singer's obsession. The opening lines "No escape from unwelcome memory. This time it's really, really haunting me" convey a sense of desperation and being trapped within one's own thoughts. The questions "Which way to go? Which one is real? What can I take? What can I steal?" illustrate the singer's confusion and uncertainty about how to deal with their obsession. It's clear that they are struggling and don't know which path to take.
The chorus brings in a plea for help, with the singer admitting "I'm so close to giving up" and "I'm going under". The repetition of "someone help me with my obsession" highlights the sense of isolation and desperation the singer is feeling. They seem to be at their breaking point, as illustrated by the lines "Breaking point of my self-deception, somehow I'm running out!" The closing line "Don't follow me, I'm going under" drives home the sense of being lost and alone in their struggle.
Overall, the song effectively conveys the intense emotions and struggles that come with dealing with an obsession, which can be a difficult and isolating experience.
