Obsession
The XI Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Losing my grip on reality
There's no escape coz I'm never free
I feel her permeate my soul
And I'm helpless as she takes control

No way to fight
Coz she intensifies
No end in sight
Coz to own me is her greatest prize

She's the devil in disguise
A mistress of deceit and lies
Obsession, Deception
How much further can I fall
She's the devil in disguise
Another plaything in her eyes
Obsession, Possession
I can't walk away
No way at all

She captured me through isolation
And she rules me with manipulation
She'll never rest til I'm on my knees
But it's never enough just to beg for mercy

Black is the night
Without a compromise
There's no more light
Coz she knows she's won her greatest prize

She's the devil in disguise
A mistress of deceit and lies
Obsession, Deception
How much further can I fall
She's the devil in disguise
Another plaything in her eyes
Obsession, Possession
I can't walk away

Torture me, Punish me
Well it's all the same
Use me, Abuse me
Well it's just a game
Poison me with love
You nurture me with pain
Do you want more?
Well you got it all
There's nothing left of me

She's the devil in disguise
A mistress of deceit and lies
Obsession, Deception
How much further can I fall
She's the devil in disguise
Another plaything in her eyes
Obsession, Possession
I can't walk away
No way at all

She's the devil in disguise
Obsession, Deception
How much further can I fall
She's the devil in disguise
Obsession, Possession




I can't walk away
Unless I crawl
