Obsessed (feat. Ina Wroldsen)
Dynoro
The Struggle of Losing Oneself in Love
“Obsessed (feat. Ina Wroldsen)” by Dynoro is a haunting exploration of the emotional turmoil that comes with losing oneself in a relationship. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of someone who has become so deeply entwined with their partner that they can no longer distinguish their own identity. The repeated attempts to “climb into your skin” and “locate the beating of your heart” symbolize the intense desire to connect on a profound level, yet this quest leads to a disturbing realization: the narrator has lost their sense of self in the process.
The imagery of walking for hours inside the partner and running through their veins suggests an invasive, almost parasitic relationship. The narrator sees all of their partner’s visions and finds all of them, but in doing so, they lose sight of themselves. This metaphorical journey through the partner’s body and mind highlights the dangers of becoming too invested in another person, to the point where one’s own identity is overshadowed and consumed.
The chorus, with its plea to “let me out” and “I gotta get free,” underscores the desperation and urgency to reclaim personal freedom and individuality. The narrator acknowledges that they are “too invested” and cannot afford to become obsessed, as it leads to a loss of self. The song’s emotional climax is reached when the narrator feels their partner’s actions with another person, amplifying the pain and confusion of their entangled existence. This poignant narrative serves as a cautionary tale about the importance of maintaining one’s identity and boundaries in a relationship, to avoid the peril of losing oneself entirely.
