Obsession
Sir Chloe Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I′ll add it to my collection
I'm losin′ hours in the rose, but I don't mind
I don't mind
Happy to waste it for a good time
Happy to waste it for a good time
Happy to waste it for a good time
Chasing the way it was
Something to make it numb
It′s never quite enough
It′s never quite enough
Brand new obsession
I'll add it to my collection
I′m losing hours in the rose, but I don't mind
I don′t mind
Happy to waste it for a good time
Happy to waste it for a good time
Happy to waste it for a good time
Oh, delighted
I keep myself awake to think about it
The warm and lovely ache
Oh, to tighten my hands around the waist
Of something violent
The sweet and melted taste
Oh, delighted
I keep myself awake to think about it
The warm and lovely ache
Oh, to tighten my hands around the waist
Of something violent
The sweet and melted taste
The lyrics to Sir Chloe's song "Obsession" express a sense of addiction or fixation towards something new. The singer describes it as a "brand new obsession," something that they are eager to add to their collection of obsessions. They are willing to lose track of time and indulge in this obsession, indicating a sense of surrender and willingness to be consumed by it. The repetition of the line "happy to waste it for a good time" reflects a desire to embrace this obsession, even if it means sacrificing other aspects of their life.
The chorus repeats the theme of the new obsession and the loss of time, emphasizing that the singer doesn't mind being consumed by it. There is a sense of chasing something, perhaps the way things used to be or a feeling of numbness. However, it is never quite enough, suggesting that the obsession only temporarily satisfies their cravings.
The second verse introduces a conflicting set of emotions. The singer expresses delight in keeping themselves awake to think about the obsession, as they enjoy the intense longing or yearning it brings. The imagery of tightening hands around something violent and a sweet, melted taste adds a hint of darkness and sensuality to the song. It portrays a desire for intensity and excitement, even if it may be destructive or volatile.
Overall, "Obsession" delves into the complex nature of being consumed by a new fixation and the conflicting emotions it brings. It explores the willingness to surrender to obsession and the allure of something intense and potentially dangerous.
