Obsession
Sputnik Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Gotta get closer, don't know where to start
We know tomorrow can't answer
We could end in good time, but the sorrow will come
And it takes a long time if you wait for a chance

In succession you want, you try, you get her
It's obsession, you want to try to get her
It's getting out of hand, too late to try
Too late for happy ever after
If you end it tonight, then tomorrow will come
And it takes half you life if you don't take a chance

In succession, you want , you try, and you try
It's obsession, you want to try to get her

And you try to be cool, see you try again

In succession, you want, you try, and you die




It's obsession you want to try to get her
And you get her

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Sputnik's song "Obsession" describe the experience of being completely consumed by an intense desire for someone. The singer longs to get closer to this person, but feels unsure of where to start. They know that the future is uncertain and that there will be both good times and sorrows. The singer acknowledges that it will take a long time to achieve their goal if they wait for an opportunity to present itself.


Despite the uncertainty and risk, the singer is completely obsessed with winning over the object of their desire. They feel a sense of urgency and desperation to succeed, as though their entire life depends on it. The singer tries to be cool and maintain a sense of rationality, but their obsession is getting out of hand. However, they can't stop trying and hoping for a chance to be with this person.


The final lines of the song suggest that the singer's obsession pays off in the end - "and you get her". It's unclear what the long-term consequences of this all-consuming desire will be, but in the moment, the singer feels a sense of triumph and relief.

Just finished watching this film and highly recommend it. Turn the volume up. The score to this film is really beautiful; reminding me of Jurassic Park or Jaws, with deep tones to signify terror and anticipation of what’s to come. It’s too bad they couldn’t do a theatrical release, with obviously everything going on with the pandemic. But it’s definitely worth the watch. It’s not your typical shoot em up style film so don’t expect a film like Alien (which I loved). But it’s also not as tame as Arrival (which I loved). It offers some original ideas as well as homages inspiration from former Alien Themed horror sci fi flicks (to be expected, as that is the genre). But what I really enjoyed about this film was the human aspect and the themes of the film. If it’s music that will make the people come together, it’s film that allows people from different backgrounds to appreciate art from a different culture and historical perspective. This movie deserves attention during the award circuit. Be it art from South Korea with Parasite and Old Boy, this film from Russia, City of God from Brazil to the silvery littered pavements of Hollywood; art and film making can transport you into another place but at the end we’re all individuals of the human experience trying to make some sense of this life. Open your minds; Read the Subtitles. This movie is worth the watch. Reminder, turn the volume up. Also, it may not come off that deep but I’m just generous with my comments that no ones asking for haha

Thank you, it was a very nice movie, and thank you for bringing up the score, it was a good score. We have all these kids on the sideline like wall flowers at a dance club and all they want to do is speculate, "Oh I have seen the Alien for 3 seconds I don't think this movie is going to be good it's just an American version of Alien", and on and on we go with all the stupid windmill speculations of the movie.
It's like No Country For Old Men for me all over again. It opened up in a very old small theater in my town and that's how I first saw it (not enough action and the trailer wasn't a big draw with big theaters) I had to plead my family to see go see it (they were speculating how bad it was by the trailer I guess). The movie people eventually heard about it by by word of mouth, next thing the movie caught on like covid19 in my town and it jumped to the big theaters. Youtube is a bad place for trailers because fair weather movie fans get too sidetracked by their speculations or give all the details to the movie without considerations for people who want to see it.

Was this review useful? 
Yes, movie was good. I will rate it 2.5 / 5 stars.
Moral of the story, don't hire emotional fool people for the job which you think is humanely wrong. In order to save few people she let it kill dozens, for what? for Nothing in the end.
Anyway, thanks for the review otherwise I wasn't going to watch it.
btw @chuimon slp I don't need to summarize this statement, in case you were wondering.

@SGA01

@chuimon slp Can you please summarize your statement?

@8kigana

Saw this when it came out. Best indie sci-fi horror ever made. Puts a lot of Hollywood films to shame. Has the suspense of the original alien.

But that sound when she first sees the alien is a masterpiece, utterly spine chilling sound. The sound is easily the best part of the film.

Pace and acting is good. Special effects are superb for a low budget movie too, Hollywood would’ve spent millions of the special effects and they’d be nowhere near as good. One of the best low budget movies I’ve ever seen.

@yaboyed5779

Any idea where it can be watched in the US?

@stevemuzak8526

It's on youtube. @@yaboyed5779

I watched this movie last night and it was a thorough entertainer. Well written, well directed and edge of the seat thriller. 9/10
