Possession
Saskatchewan Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Try so hard keep up your guard defend you how
In the end still torn apart transcend your doubt
Even when with all regard still end without
Always stuck between
They have you, they have you
A need that we'd be free
Want for security
They have you, they have you
Agreed to sight unseen
They have you, they have you
Save your life but lose your sight direct discount
Your scars align all healed in time reject denounce
In the end still torn apart transcend your doubt
Even when with all regard still end without
Always stuck between
They have you, they have you
A need that we'd be free
They have you, they have you
Want for security
They have you, they have you
Agreed to sight unseen
They have you, they have you
The lyrics of Saskatchewan's song "Possession" describe the struggle to remain true to oneself while being influenced and controlled by outside forces. The first lines of the song describe a feeling of being weighed down or oppressed, with the darkness "that stills your heart" ascending. Despite attempts to "keep up your guard" and defend oneself, the struggle continues, leaving one "torn apart" and full of doubt. The lyrics suggest that even when one tries to conform and satisfy others, the end result may still be unsatisfactory or unfulfilling.
The chorus of the song repeats the lines "They have you, they have you" four times, emphasizing the idea of being controlled or possessed by others. The various reasons for this possession are listed in each subsequent line. The need for freedom, desire for security, and willingness to agree to unseen conditions all contribute to the sense of being trapped and controlled.
The second verse suggests that one may try to escape this possession, but doing so may come at a cost. Trying to save one's life may mean losing sight of what is important, and rejecting the scars of the past may lead to further turmoil. The final lines of the song repeat those of the first verse, emphasizing that even after all attempts to transcend doubt and be true to oneself, the struggle is ongoing.
Overall, "Possession" is a poignant reflection on the struggle to maintain freedom and independence while navigating the expectations and control of others.
