Obsession

The song 'Obsession' by Scorpions delves into the intense and consuming nature of love and desire. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a person who is deeply infatuated with someone, to the point where they cannot get them off their mind. The singer tries to convince themselves that they don't think about their lover, but it's clear that this is a lie. The repeated references to missing the days and secret places they shared highlight the depth of their longing and the emotional turmoil they are experiencing.

The chorus emphasizes the physical and emotional pleasure derived from being with their lover. The lines 'Cos it feels so good to be your lover / When my lips are kissing you all over' suggest a powerful physical attraction, while the desire for the night to last forever indicates a wish to prolong the moments of intimacy and connection. This longing is so intense that it turns the singer's world 'upside down, insane,' showcasing the overwhelming impact of their feelings.

The song also touches on the theme of availability and readiness to be there for the lover whenever they need someone. The repeated line 'I'll be there anytime your heart is desperate just to love someone' underscores a sense of devotion and willingness to provide comfort and love. Despite the pain and confusion, the singer is willing to put everything aside to be with their lover, highlighting the all-consuming nature of their obsession. The song captures the essence of a love that is both exhilarating and tormenting, reflecting the complexities of human emotions and relationships.
