Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I thought you wanted to save me.
Now you got it. What you wanted.
Now you're driving me crazy.
You don't know me. Never met me.
But I know that you'll like me.
Now I comin'. Now I'm comin'.
Gonna come undone (got your address)
Got to keep me from (where you live)
Like a lost street bum (got your number)
They call me ... they call me ...

Stalker
Urge Overkill's song The Stalker tells the story of an obsessive and delusional individual who believes that someone who they have never met before (the object of their affection) wants to save them. The lyrics narrate a journey into the mind of an individual who believes that the object of their affection has been waiting for them and that they will like them once they meet. Despite never having met the object of their obsession, the stalker presumes the love is mutual and sets out to attend a party uninvited.
The lyrics detail the stalker's obsession as they reveal how they obtained the object of their affection's address and phone number as preludes to the stalking behavior they engage in. The repetitive nature of the lyrics gives insight into the stalker's state of mind and their skewed perception of reality, as they try to convince themselves that their actions are justified. The chorus of the song is a lamentation of the confusion and frustration that the stalker feels when their actions do not result in the anticipated outcomes - the love and affection of their target.
The song raises some serious questions about stalking behaviors and the delusions of individuals who engage in it. The lyrics offer a word of caution about the consequences of such actions and the need for individuals to respect other people's boundaries, perceptions of love, and personal space.
