Obsessed
Mother Superior Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Waited all day, ain't that enough?
Acting so sly, my nervous system
Waited all day, ain't that enough?
I'm obsessed with you, girl
I'm obsessed with what you say
And all the things you do, girl
Open your eyes, can you see me?
Waiting all day, ain't that enough?
How can I climb or break down the wall?
Waiting all day, ain't that enough?
I'm obsessed with you, girl
I'm obsessed with what you say
And all the things you do, girl
I'm obsessed with everything
Alone in the dark
Can't stop thinking †bout you
Telephone in the dark
Keeps on ringing for you
I can't wait another lifetime
I waited all day, ain't that enough?
How can I stop your independence?
Waiting all day, ain't that enough?
I'm obsessed with you, girl
I'm obsessed with what you say
And all the things you do, girl
I'm obsessed with everything
Alone in the dark
Can't stop thinking †bout you
Telephone in the dark
Keeps on ringing for you
I can't wait, ain't that enough?
Been waiting, ain't that enough?
Ain't that enough?
Another lifetime, ain't that enough?
Knock down the wall
The lyrics to Mother Superior's song "Obsessed" can be interpreted as an intense infatuation with someone who is ultimately unattainable. The persona of the song expresses their frustration with the object of their obsession, wondering how much longer they have to wait to be with them. The repetition of "I'm obsessed" emphasizes the extent of their attachment and implies that it has become an unhealthy fixation. The phrase "acting so sly, my nervous system" suggests that the persona is constantly on edge, trying to keep their feelings hidden, and unable to control their physical reactions. The line "how can I climb or break down the wall?" implies that the object of their obsession has built up a barrier, making it difficult for the persona to connect with them emotionally. The use of the telephone ringing in the dark creates a sense of desperation and loneliness, as the persona cannot stop thinking about the person they are obsessed with.
Overall, the song portrays a sense of longing and desperation, highlighting the destructive nature of an all-consuming obsession. The lyrics serve as a warning about the dangers of allowing infatuation to take over one's life.
