The song "Infatuation" by Sophie is an ode to the feeling of being obsessed with someone, the initial stage of attraction where one wants to know everything about the other person. The song expresses how this feeling is intense and dangerous, hence the line "You're deadly, you're heavenly". Despite this, the singer finds the person innocent and wants to uncover who they are deep down. The chorus repeats the questions "Infatuation, who are you?" twice, first asking who the person is deep down, then who they are out there. The repetition of this question emphasizes the curiosity and obsession of the singer. The song ends with several repetitions of the line "I wanna know", echoing the desire to know everything about the person.

The instrumental of this...she was so fucking talented and was one of the few artists who can make me feel almost spiritually connected to like some higher power through their music. Listening to this and the whole album wiith headphones is like being taken to another world.

This is exactly how infatuation sounds. You are in heaven but suddenly everything start to burn.

Now, the world feels like this. Sophie is in heaven but here we are burning without her.

Itโs more of a drowning than it is a burn; like floating up and ascending through water but still feeling the suppressing weight of oceanโs mass overwhelm you, breathing and gasping and moaning and choking and shrieking, eyes wide open

Ugh.... nothing beautiful can exist in this world for long. RIP SOPHIE.
