Obsession
Sober Assault Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Your skin is growing pale
In this darkening world
You've become my light of day
Unstoppable disease
You're rushing to your death
Waiting for the inevitable
So my desire is fulfilled
Your beauty will last forever
Your soul is gone, but your body will stay
You shan't be lost in the circle of decay
Love cannot be beaten by death
Obsession, locked in a crypt
Staring in the eyes of death
Pleasure of the rotting flesh
What I was denied in life
What was ripped from my sight
United in love with thy dead
Necrophiliac's obsession
Visiting you in your tomb
Sheltering you from filth
One day I will take you home
Show what was denied, the true love I feel
Dreams broken by reality
They kept me away from you
Hidden your remains
But the memory remains, in spirit we are bound
What I was denied in life
What was ripped from my sight
United in love with thy dead
Necrophiliac's obsession
What I was denied in life
What was ripped from my sight
United in love with thy dead
Necrophiliac's obsession
What I was denied in life
What was ripped from my sight
United in love with thy dead
Necrophiliac's obsession
Drowning in an endless dream
Necrophiliac's obsession
Drowning in an endless dream
Endless obsession
The lyrics to Sober Assault's song "Obsession" depict a dark and twisted fixation on death and necrophilia. The opening lines set the tone, describing the fading light and pale skin of the subject, who has become the singer's guiding light in a world growing darker. The unstoppable disease mentioned refers to the subject's impending death, which the singer eagerly awaits to fulfill their desire. This obsession is so intense that the singer claims they will never let go, as they believe the beauty of the subject will remain even after death.
The lyrics continue with a reference to the circle of decay, suggesting that the subject's body will stay intact even in death. The singer's love for the subject is said to be stronger than death, implying that their obsession transcends mortal boundaries. The lyrics further depict the singer's necrophiliac proclivities, describing their pleasure in the rotting flesh and their longing for what was denied to them in life.
The second verse continues to delve into the singer's obsession, mentioning how their dreams were shattered by reality, preventing them from being with the subject in life. Despite this, the memory of the subject remains, and the singer feels a spiritual connection that binds them even in death. The repetition of the phrase "United in love with thy dead" emphasizes their intense passion and the unconventional nature of their relationship.
The chorus is repeated three times throughout the song, emphasizing the singer's obsession and their desire for what was taken away from them in life. The final lines of the song, "Drowning in an endless dream, necrophiliac's obsession," suggest that the singer's obsession has consumed them completely, trapping them in a never-ending cycle of longing and desire.
Overall, "Obsession" paints a disturbing picture of a protagonist consumed by an unhealthy fixation on death, displaying themes of necrophilia, longing, and despair. The lyrics provide a glimpse into the inner workings of a disturbed mind and the lengths one might go to fulfill their darkest desires.

An all-consuming fixation confined within a tomb
Staring in the eyes of death
Gazing directly into the face of mortality
Pleasure of the rotting flesh
The gratification derived from decaying corporeal matter
What I was denied in life
What I was deprived of during my existence

United in love with thy dead
Bound together in affection with the deceased
Necrophiliac's obsession
The fixated infatuation of a necrophiliac
Visiting you in your tomb
Frequently going to your resting place

Protecting you from impurity and contamination
One day I will take you home
Eventually, I will bring you to live with me
Show what was denied, the true love I feel
Reveal the affection that was withheld, the genuine love I possess
Dreams broken by reality
Aspirations shattered by actuality
They kept me away from you
They prevented me from being near you
Hidden your remains
Concealed your physical remains
But the memory remains, in spirit we are bound
Yet, the recollection persists, we are connected in soul
Drowning in an endless dream
Being consumed by an eternal obsession
Necrophiliac's obsession
The obsessive fixation of a necrophiliac
Drowning in an endless dream
Being overwhelmed by an unending fixation
Endless obsession
A never-ending fixation
