Obsession
Stevie Hoang Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I keep on coming back
First we make up and then
We fight and break up again
It's obvious to see
You're just no good for me
But still I find myself
Holding on
Everytime the phones rings
I'm hoping it's you
It's hard to be without you
I don't know what to do
These walls are closing in on me
I can't seem to breathe
I try to pull away from you
But it's killing me because
I can't stop loving you (x4)
Can't seem to find the truth
You got me so confused
Girl if you only knew
All the things you put me through
My friends keep telling me
That I should up and leave
But they don't understand
I'm addicted to you
Everytime the phones rings
I'm hoping it's you
It's hard to be without you
I don't know what to do
These walls are closing in on me
I can't seem to breathe
I try to pull away from you
But it's killing me
Girl it's killing me
I can't stop loving you (x4)
It's driving me crazy
I can't stop
I can't stop loving you (x8)
The lyrics to Stevie Hoang's song "Obsession" depict a tumultuous relationship where the singer is unable to escape his affection and desire for someone who is ultimately harmful to him. The song opens with the singer recognizing the repetitiveness of their relationship, recognizing that they regularly break up and then make up once again. Although they acknowledge that the other person is "no good" for them, they can't seem to let go.
The chorus delves into the singer's internal conflicts, with every time the phone rings, they hope that it's the person they're obsessing over. They're struggling to function without them, feeling like the walls are closing in and they can't breathe. They know that they need to pull away from this harmful relationship, but they can't seem to let go of their love for this person. In the second verse, the singer acknowledges that their friends are telling them to leave, but they can't seem to help their addiction to the person who's causing them emotional turmoil.
The song's lyrics delve into the complexities of harmful emotionally abusive relationships, highlighting the internal battles that people face when they feel unable to let go of someone they know isn't good for them. The song's power is in its ability to depict these internal struggles and help listeners empathize with others or recognize the signs in their own lives, especially since it's a common theme in real-life relationships amongst people of all ages.
