Passion
Your Brand New Obsession Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Cash checks in front of my enemies
Two tickets to a show with one seat
I'm fucked up, but that's me
My thoughts are way ahead of me
Cash checks in front of my enemies
Two tickets to a show with one seat
I'm fucked up, but that's me
Cash checks in front of my enemies
Two tickets to a show with one seat
I'm fucked up, but that's me
I really hate my brain but other people love it
Take it out my head and put it in a bucket
Give it away, lay back and say fuck it
I'm addicted to a passion, don't make any money from it
And I'll fall asleep thinking of you
Instead of what I wanna do
Someone take my brain
I really cannot stay
I can't afford that kind of pain
I cannot take another day
My thoughts are way ahead of me
Cash checks in front of my enemies
Two tickets to a show with one seat
I'm fucked up, but that's me
My thoughts are way ahead of me
Cash checks in front of my enemies
Two tickets to a show with one seat
I'm fucked up, but that's me
I hate the way it feels to be different
But God damnit, what is the difference
God damnit, what is the difference
Between the way the words make the fiction
I aspire to be two times the person you think you see
I wanna be different
I wanna be
My thoughts are way ahead of me
Cash checks in front of my enemies
Two tickets to a show with one seat
I'm fucked up, but that's me
My thoughts are way ahead of me
Cash checks in front of my enemies
Two tickets to a show with one seat
I'm fucked up, but that's me
The lyrics to "Passion" by Your Brand New Obsession delve into the complex emotions and struggles of the artist's inner thoughts, self-identity, and aspirations.
In the first verse, the line "My thoughts are way ahead of me, cash checks in front of my enemies" reflects a sense of feeling misunderstood or disconnected from the world. The artist's mind is racing with thoughts and ideas that may not resonate with others, while simultaneously facing opposition from those who may not support or appreciate their ambitions.
The line "Two tickets to a show with one seat, I'm fucked up, but that's me" further illustrates the artist's internal conflict. It suggests that they may feel torn between competing desires or passions, with only one "seat" or opportunity available. This line captures a sense of frustration or confusion within their own identity.
The second verse continues with the artist expressing disdain for their own mind, stating "I really hate my brain but other people love it." This line implies a disconnect between the artist's perception of themselves and the way they are perceived by others. They desire an escape from their own thoughts and the pressure that comes with it.
The line "I'm addicted to a passion, don't make any money from it" denotes a strong attachment to their creative aspirations, even if it doesn't bring financial reward. Despite the challenges, the artist falls asleep thinking of someone else, suggesting a desire for companionship or distraction from their own struggles.
The chorus repeats throughout the song, emphasizing the artist's feeling of being overwhelmed by their own thoughts and the frustration of being labeled as different. They acknowledge their flaws and embrace them as an integral part of their identity, refusing to conform to societal expectations.
The bridge reveals the artist's desire to break free from limitations and become more than what others perceive them to be. They crave a sense of individuality and express their aspiration to be different from the norm. The repetition of "God damnit, what is the difference" reflects frustration with the boundaries imposed by societal norms and the need to unleash their true potential.
Overall, "Passion" showcases the artist's struggles with self-acceptance, the conflict between their own ambitions and societal expectations, and their relentless pursuit of individuality and personal growth.
