Avocado
The Obsessives Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I make my bed with unwashed sheets.
I hear my family walking in bare feet.
They call to me.
I'm the fucking king of everything.
Sit around naked, waiting patiently for my essence to express itself to my body.
I talk big back massage game but my thumbs can only knead so much.
They can only knead so much.
Avocado toast and a wasted libido and an unripe peach cracking under my teeth.
The Obsessives's Avocado is a song about extreme self-absorption and detachment from reality that comes with being in the grip of a relentless narcissistic obsession. The lyrics suggest that the singer is detached from the people around him and is more interested in his own inner world. He thinks of himself as the "king of purity" and a "king of everything," which indicates his immodest perception of himself. He claims to make his bed with unwashed sheets which supports this further. He is so disconnected and self-absorbed that he fails to notice his family walking barefoot around him. The singer seems to be in a world of his own, waiting for his essence to express itself to his body.
Later on in the song, he reveals that he talks big in the back massage game but his thumbs can only knead so much, clearly showing that he is all talk and no action. The last line in the song "avocado toast and a wasted libido and an unripe peach cracking under my teeth" is a symbol of the singer's immature and frivolous existence. Overall, the song conveys a sense of detachment and self-absorption, suggesting that the singer is disconnected from the world around him, more interested in his inner world, and not aware of his own limitations.
