Obsession
On Thorns I Lay Lyrics

The lyrics to "Obsession" by On Thorns I Lay delve into the ubiquitous struggles of human experience. The first line, "Finally what you are is the same that we are everyone," seems to suggest that despite our individualism, we all share the common ground of existence. The next line, "You do infeasible dreams, like everyone you will," touches upon the idea of pursuing our aspirations, even when they seem impossible. The following line's sentiment, "Learn to love if you learn to suffer, like everyone," could be interpreted in various ways, but perhaps it suggests that we must endure hardships in order to understand love's greater meaning.

The next two lines, "So discover the snake of your soul, think deeper/Discover the joy of your life, think deeper," invite introspection and self-discovery. The phrase "snake of your soul" could be seen as a metaphor for repressed emotions or deep-seated issues. Similarly, the line "The knowledge of yourself, please find yourself" emphasizes the importance of self-awareness. The next line, "The way is opened to the violet," evokes imagery of a spiritual path towards enlightenment. Finally, the last two lines, "Grey loves my God, sunk me in pain/My hearted body will soon expire, I will be waiting," express a sense of acceptance of the inevitability of death, as well as the idea of finding comfort in pain.

Overall, "Obsession" appears to encourage listeners to explore their inner selves, embrace life's challenges, and take comfort in the collective nature of human existence.
