Obsessed With You

Central Cee's 'Obsessed With You' delves into the emotional turmoil of unrequited love and the complexities of a relationship where one's lifestyle is at odds with the desires of the person they are infatuated with. The song's lyrics express a deep obsession with a love interest, questioning whether the emotional displays of the other person are solely for the narrator. The repeated line 'When you wipe your tears, do you wipe them just for me?' suggests a yearning for exclusivity in the other's emotional life, highlighting the narrator's intense desire for a significant place in their heart.

The song also touches on the contrast between the narrator's lifestyle and the expectations of the love interest. Central Cee, known for his drill music style, often incorporates themes of street life into his lyrics. In 'Obsessed With You,' he acknowledges that he doesn't have a conventional job and lives a life that might not align with the high standards of the person he admires. Despite this, he insists he is 'not a random guy' and is willing to change for her, even altering his lyrics if she disapproves. This willingness to adapt for love underscores the depth of his feelings.

Furthermore, the song explores themes of loyalty and insecurity. The narrator reassures the love interest that despite his environment and the people around him, she has no reason to worry about his fidelity. He expresses a sense of frustration over her distrust and the perception that he is disloyal. The lyrics convey a narrative of someone who is deeply in love but struggles with the challenges of a lifestyle that may not be conducive to a traditional romantic relationship.
