possession
starry cat Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

On the floor of your room
I pressed myself flat against the rug
You told me "you′re possessed"
There's something inside
And i hadn′t felt the love not in a while
It used to make me sick; not anymore
Almost every night, i see it glow
I know you will go, you've made that clear
But i've never felt a love like this before





Overall Meaning

The lyrics of the Starry Cat song "Possession" evoke a sense of surrender and vulnerability that comes with a strong and all-consuming love. In the opening lines, the singer describes how they are lying flat against the rug in a lover's room, creating a sense of closeness and intimacy. The lover tells the singer that they are possessed, which could be interpreted in different ways - perhaps the lover feels taken over by their emotions for the singer, or the singer feels like they are under some kind of love spell. Regardless, the word "possessed" implies a loss of control and an overpowering force.


Throughout the song, the singer describes how this powerful love has taken over them, stating that they haven't felt love like this in a long time. The love used to make them sick, but now it seems to light up their life. The phrase "almost every night, I see it glow" suggests that the love is a source of light or warmth in an otherwise dark and lonely world. Despite this love, the singer knows that the lover will eventually leave them, but they are still grateful for the experience of feeling such an intense emotion.


Overall, the lyrics of "Possession" capture the tumultuous and consuming nature of love, and the feelings of both joy and pain that come with it. Through their poetic language and vivid imagery, Starry Cat allows listeners to experience a range of emotions and reflect on their own experiences of love and loss.

I thought lyrics were:
On the floor of your room,
Pressed myself against the rug
You told me “you’re possessed”
something inside
And I hadn’t felt the love, not in a while
It Used to make me sick; not anymore
Almost every night, I see it glow
I know you will go, you made that clear. But I’ve never felt a love like this before

So, I had tried to do a tutorial now that my camera's working again, but it always comes out wrong in some way. So here:

Main part
F shapes (the "riff"): x87060 x87068
C shapes: x32010 x32310 x32210
Chorus
Bb: X13331
G: 355433
C: x32010
F shapes (the "riff"): x87060 x87068

Does this help at all? I hope it does. If not, I'll try to make a tutorial later.
