Obsession
Provision Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I storm the dance floor to see your reaction. This desire in you,
requires interaction. You need a fix tonight, my name is satisfaction.

I’m never looking for love and attention.
I think the girls in this scene are pretentious.
You want to be like them.
l think I’ll use you then.
Trapped in your mind too much aggression.
We were a fantasy, not a reality.
Your sanity relies on depression.
This is nothing more than obsession.

I see your mindset. This is obsession.
Listen, can you hear me now.

I cannot even enter the club alone.
That look upon your face, tells of something wrong.
Eyes are turning against me, like I don’t belong.

Guessing somehow the message didn’t get through.




Commitments not what I want, I’m only using you.
A decision to be free, you don’t even know me.

Overall Meaning

The singer storms the dance floor with the primary motive of gaining a reaction from their obsessed lover. The lyrics suggest that this interaction is necessary for the lover, who is addicted to the singer's presence and sees them as a source of satisfaction.


The singer, on the other hand, is not interested in finding love or attention, and thinks that the girls in the scene are pretentious. It is revealed that the singer will use the obsessed lover to fulfil their own desires. The obsession of the lover is seen as an impediment to their sanity, leading to depression because they have romanticized the relationship beyond what it is. The singer sees the obsession as a form of possession, and the lyrics suggest that the singer is aware of how far the obsession has taken the lover.


The lyrics also suggest that the singer's intentions are not entirely genuine, and the lover should be wary of the singer's true motives. Despite this warning, it is clear that the relationship has become an unhealthy obsession with the singer manipulating the situation to their advantage. The lyrics "This is nothing more than obsession. I see your mindset. This is obsession. Listen, can you hear me now" highlight that the singer is self-aware of what is happening, and the other person is denying the severity of their obsession.
