Obsession
Truse Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Back to rapping on beat no need for avant-garde
I'm fucking with your earrings yeah they studded like my stars
Spitting fire to impress her now my lyrics sounding charred
And I hope she liked my gesture
Call me later here's my card
I was never good at sports
I couldn't even catch a break
Been in this town so long

My dues are overpaid
Now I'm not that social
Like Medusa they all snake
Throw my hat up in the ring
Nothing higher than my stakes ugh

In convention for the prettiest
I think that you're the finest one
Divine and probably sent from God to try and kill Leviathans
You're cringing but you're vibing
So the signs are saying try again
I got a couple quarters left, not crying if I die again
Messiah confidence, oh I'm often in your forgotten list
I'm positive that I could change your thoughts
The embodiment of the perfect candidate you wanted
Yeah I'm a narcissist
I'ma try to hold the ball, I ain't dropping like Carti did uh

Make a toast to the feeling we couldn't forget
Breaking moments that burn inside of my forehead
Set a rose on the tomb, I'll make it right when I can
I'll use your light for the path, I lose the light so I can't

Weathergirl says words I'll never forget
What that girl said, took me to the world's edge
I'd always make a jump and end up at your doorstep
Conjure up a storm to let me in again, before death
Cut the film strips, piece together narratives
Tell me what I wanna hear
I'm speaking to a parrot in a loop
'Till the truth isn't hard to miss
But in truth I'm a loser I'll hardly flinch
You win

Yeah I said it
'Till my heart doesn't beat, yeah you get it
Let's get this shit
Bring it Truse

I was outcasted like I'm Andre fucking three stacks
That's my rise to action
I thought you would be the climax
Now I'm falling fast and they telling me to relax
Made my life better but now you cause my relapse
Keep falling for the one's that I can't get
Maybe that's why they call me Lovesick
So maybe I go and say fuck it
And confess it right there

Say I love you
But you won't care

Overall Meaning

In these lyrics, Truse expresses his determination to focus on his rap skills rather than experimenting with unconventional styles. He compares his fascination with his love interest's earrings to the stars in the sky, indicating his admiration for her. He acknowledges that his previous attempts to impress her with his fiery lyrics may have come across as burnt or undesirable, hoping that she will appreciate his efforts nonetheless.

Truse reveals his lack of athletic ability and a feeling of perpetual struggle in his hometown, implying that he has faced numerous challenges. Despite feeling like an outcast and surrounded by deceitful people, he remains determined to compete and surpass his own expectations. This can be seen in his reference to throwing his hat in the ring and his ambition to achieve success beyond anyone else's achievements.

He then shifts his focus to his love interest, expressing his belief that she is the most beautiful woman he has ever encountered. He suggests that her presence in his life feels divine, as if she has been sent by a higher power to help him overcome his personal demons. While he acknowledges that his self-assuredness may come off as narcissism, he believes he is the perfect candidate for her affection. Truse compares his determination to hold onto her to the fearlessness displayed by rapper Playboi Carti, who is known for his unwavering confidence.

Truse reflects on a shared experience or connection with his love interest, pledging to raise a glass to the strong emotions they've experienced together. He mentions moments that have left a lasting impact, describing a burning sensation in his forehead, likely symbolizing intense emotions or memories. He promises to make amends for any wrongdoings, using her light as a guide through dark times. However, he confesses that he sometimes loses sight of this light and becomes lost.

A weather report delivered by a girl he can't forget holds significance for Truse, as the words she spoke took him to the edge of the world, possibly representing a new and exhilarating experience. He seems eager to take risks and face unknown challenges, even if it means ending up at her doorstep again. Truse compares his persistent attempts to win her over to repeatedly speaking to a parrot, hoping that the truth of his feelings won't be hard to grasp. Despite his self-perceived inadequacy and fear of rejection, he acknowledges her victory over him, implying that she has power over his emotions.

In the final verse, Truse compares his experience of being an outcast to the renowned rapper Andre 3000's persona, emphasizing his rise to action. He had hoped that his connection with his love interest would be the pinnacle of his story but instead finds himself falling rapidly and being urged to find solace. He acknowledges that while she made his life better initially, now she is the cause of his relapse into negative emotions. Truse admits to repeatedly falling for those he can't attain, earning him the moniker "Lovesick." Despite the potential futility, he contemplates confessing his love to her, fully aware that she may not reciprocate his feelings.

Nowadays, I'm not very sociable, as people around me are deceitful and treacherous like snakes

In convention for the prettiest, I think that you're the finest one
Among all the beautiful people at this gathering, I believe that you are the most exceptional and stunning

Divine and probably sent from God to try and kill Leviathans
You possess a divine quality and were possibly sent by God to conquer and overcome formidable challenges

You're cringing but you're vibing, So the signs are saying try again
You may feel a bit uncomfortable, but you're still enjoying the experience, so the indications are encouraging me to make another attempt

I got a couple quarters left, not crying if I die again
I have a limited amount of energy or resources remaining, and I won't be devastated if I face failure or defeat once more

Messiah confidence, oh I'm often in your forgotten list

I'm positive that I could change your thoughts
I strongly believe that I have the ability to alter your mindset or perspective

I'ma try to hold the ball, I ain't dropping like Carti did uh
I'm going to attempt to retain control and not fail like Carti did in his situation

Make a toast to the feeling we couldn't forget
Let's raise a glass and commemorate the intense emotion that we haven't been able to erase from our memories

Breaking moments that burn inside of my forehead
Experiencing moments of intense emotion that leave a lasting impression in my mind

Set a rose on the tomb, I'll make it right when I can
Placing a rose on the grave, and I promise to rectify any wrongs when I have the opportunity

I'll use your light for the path, I lose the light so I can't
I will rely on your guidance and brightness to find my way, but when I lose that light, I become lost and unable to navigate

Weathergirl says words I'll never forget
The weathergirl utters words that will forever stick with me

What that girl said, took me to the world's edge
The words spoken by that girl pushed me to the brink of an emotional precipice

I'd always make a jump and end up at your doorstep
I used to take leaps of faith and consistently find myself at your doorstep

Conjure up a storm to let me in again, before death
Summoning a tumultuous situation or intense emotions to gain access to your presence once more, even if it's on the brink of death

Cut the film strips, piece together narratives
Editing and arranging different scenes or events to construct coherent stories

Tell me what I wanna hear, I'm speaking to a parrot in a loop
Feed me with the words I desire to hear, as I feel like I'm talking to a repetitive parrot

'Till the truth isn't hard to miss, But in truth I'm a loser I'll hardly flinch
Until the truth becomes blatantly obvious, but in reality, I'm a failure and won't show any signs of hesitation

You win
You have emerged victorious

Yeah I said it, 'Till my heart doesn't beat, yeah you get it
Yes, I confess it, until my heart stops beating completely, I hope you understand

Let's get this shit, Bring it Truse
Let's handle this matter efficiently, Let's do it, Truse

I was outcasted like I'm Andre fucking three stacks
I was rejected or excluded, similar to how Andre 3000 from OutKast may have experienced

That's my rise to action, I thought you would be the climax
That's the turning point for me, I thought you would be the pinnacle or most intense moment

Now I'm falling fast and they telling me to relax
Now I'm rapidly descending into chaos and people are advising me to calm down

Made my life better but now you cause my relapse
You had initially improved my life, but now you are the cause of my regression or relapse

Keep falling for the one's that I can't get
I continuously develop feelings for those who are unattainable to me

Maybe that's why they call me Lovesick
Perhaps that's why people refer to me as lovesick

So maybe I go and say fuck it, And confess it right there, Say I love you, But you won't care
Therefore, I may decide to give up and openly admit my love for you, but I know that you won't care or reciprocate
