Obsession
Traceless Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

It's 3 in the morning
And you've been calling me all night long
Your tongue is foreign now
And I got no faith in your words
We've been through this before
I'm not yours anymore

I know exactly what you're doing
You fooled me once
But it won't happen twice
And all the lies that you've been spewing
Won't work this time
I'd rather be alone
Than controlled by your temporary hold
I let go, but you won't
And I can't take it anymore

You can't keep clinging on
To something that's long gone
I've already moved on
Don't wanna drag you along
You're playing the victim
But you're the that's one doing wrong

Don't wanna lose you as a friend
But it might just have to happen
If you can't help yourself
Then what other choice do I have
Gave you so many chances
But you've finally ran out of them

I know exactly what you're doing
You fooled me once
But it wont happen twice
And all the lies that you've been spewing
Won't work this time
I'd rather be alone
Than controlled by your temporary hold
I let go, but you won't
And I can't take it anymore

Where is your self control
You need to let me go

You don't own me, can't control me
You don't miss me, you're just lonely
If you ever cared about me
Why would you put me through this

I know exactly what you're doing
You fooled me once
But it won't happen twice
And all the lies that you've been spewing
Won't work this time
I'd rather be alone
Than controlled by your temporary hold




I let go, but you won't
And I can't take it anymore

Overall Meaning

The song "Obsession" by Traceless talks about a toxic relationship that has ended, but one party cannot seem to let go. The opening lines of the song set the stage for the lyrics that follow. It is 3 in the morning, and the person has been calling the singer all night long. While the words of the person are foreign to the singer's ears, they have no faith in these words. It is clear that this has happened before, and the singer no longer wants to be a part of this person's life.


The chorus repeatedly emphasizes the singer's resolve to let go of this relationship. They have already moved on, but the other person won't let go. The singer would rather be alone than be controlled by the temporary hold that this person has over them. The singer has given this person many chances, but they have run out of them.


The bridge of the song is a plea for the other person to exercise some self-control and let the singer go. The closing lines of the song question the other person's actions. If they ever cared about the singer, why would they put them through this?


Overall, "Obsession" is a powerful song that focuses on the complexity of human relationships. It shows that sometimes letting go is the hardest thing to do, but it is necessary for growth and self-preservation.

It's 3 in the morning
It's late at night and you're still trying to contact me


And you've been calling me all night long
You've been repeatedly calling me and won't stop


Your tongue is foreign now
I no longer trust the words that come out of your mouth


And I got no faith in your words
I don't believe what you say anymore


We've been through this before
This is not the first time you've acted this way


I'm not yours anymore
We're no longer together in any way


You can't keep clinging on
You can't continue to hold onto something that's already over


To something that's long gone
Our relationship is in the past, it's over


I've already moved on
I've already progressed and left you behind


Don't wanna drag you along
I don't want to lead you on or give you false hope


You're playing the victim
You're acting like the one who is being hurt, when you're actually the one doing wrong


But you're the one that's doing wrong
You're the one causing the problems


Don't wanna lose you as a friend
I value our friendship, despite this situation


But it might just have to happen
Our friendship may have to come to an end because of your behavior


If you can't help yourself
If you can't control your actions and stop hurting me


Then what other choice do I have
I have no other option but to cut ties with you


Gave you so many chances
I've given you numerous opportunities to change your behavior


But you've finally ran out of them
You've exhausted all of my patience and chances to make things right


Where is your self control
Why can't you control your behavior and stop contacting me?


You don't own me, can't control me
You don't have any power or authority over me


You don't miss me, you're just lonely
You're not missing me, you're just feeling lonely


If you ever cared about me
If you truly cared about me


Why would you put me through this
Why would you continue to hurt me and put me through this situation?


I'd rather be alone
I'd rather be by myself than continue to be hurt by you


Than controlled by your temporary hold
I refuse to be controlled by your temporary actions and attitude


I let go, but you won't
I've moved on from the relationship, but you're not letting me go


And I can't take it anymore
I can no longer tolerate your behavior and actions


I know exactly what you're doing
I'm aware of your actions and what you're trying to do


You fooled me once
You lied to me before and tried to manipulate me


But it won't happen twice
I won't fall for your lies and manipulation again


And all the lies that you've been spewing
All the lies you've been telling me


Won't work this time
I won't believe your lies or be manipulated by you
