Obsession
Soil Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The way you walk, the way you talk
The way you breathe
Obsessions, Obsessing
Obsessing, Obsessions
Sing a song, sing your little song
Make it all make sense to me
Can't you see you are what I want my life to be
Oh can't you see you are me, can't you
You are me, dear god please
I don't want to be everything that this god has planned for me
Can't you see you are my everything
I can't give everything this world will expect from me
You are my everything
Obsessions, Obsessing
Obsessing, Obsessions
When I'm through making me you
I'll be the best you that I can be
Obsessions
Can't you see how perfect you are to me
Can't you see you are me, can't you
See you walk like so
And you talk just like this
Could I be you if I, if I think like you
Can't you see how much you mean to me
I'm not obsessing
Can't you see how much I want your life for me
It's not an obsession
I want to be just like you
Can't you see you are my everything
Can't you see you are me, you are
Can't you see how much you mean to me
Can't you see you are me
Can't you see you are my everything
Can't you see you are me, you are
Can't you see how much I want your life for me
Can't you see
The song "Obsession" by SOiL details an unsettling and obsessive desire to emulate another person. The singer sings about how they want to mimic everything about the person they're fixated on - from their speech and movements to the way they breathe. The repetition of the words "obsessions" and "obsessing" throughout the song emphasizes the intensity and all-consuming nature of this fixation. Despite this, the singer insists that they're not obsessing and that they just want to be like this person because they see them as everything they want in life.
Throughout the lyrics, there seems to be a sense of desperation and longing. The singer is pleading with the object of their obsession to see how much they mean to them, and how much they want to be like them. The repeated line "can't you see you are me" suggests that the singer feels a deep connection to this person and wants to merge their personalities and identities. There's also a hint of self-loathing in the lines "I don't want to be everything that this god has planned for me" - the singer seemingly believes that there's something inherently wrong with who they are and that becoming like this other person is the key to happiness.
Overall, "Obsession" is a haunting and intense song that explores the darker side of desire and admiration. The lyrics paint a picture of an individual who has become consumed with another person to the point of losing their sense of self.
