Obsession

aquariphonics · 06-11-2002, 02:00 AM

What is obsession?

ob·ses·sion Pronunciation Key (b-sshn, b-)
n.
1. Compulsive preoccupation with a fixed idea or an unwanted feeling or emotion, often accompanied by symptoms of anxiety.
2. A compulsive, often unreasonable idea or emotion.

Well, that's f-ucking great, but what do those words truly mean? I've heard many different views on this question.

One of my friends states that obession does not exist... that it's a man-made "feeling" that lets people feel like they have something to live for. I can see where this comes from, but I don't really buy all of it.

When you are born, are you born with a trigger in your subconscious that only needs a certain catalyst? Like, you're born with the love of a certain message that a song sends out. Then, when you hear this song, you become enthralled?

What about the obsession with another human being? I'm not talking about "being in love" as most people would know it... I'm talking about the strange, dillusional, psycho "love" that causes people to kill for no reason. Is love a form of obsession? Is infatuation obsession?

Now... would you say that you are obsessed with something or someone? A piece of music, a band, your girlfriend/boyfriend, your wife/husband, a movie, a book, a poem.. anything?

I can't say that I really am at this point, but please, I want to have some discussion on this.

wow :shock: thats the last thing i would have thought i would see on this message board.... :shock:

i always thought i was obsessed with what ppl thought about me...and i would freak myself out about it sometimes...well i still kinda do...and the reason i think i'm obsessed about this is because i would think about it constantly...i would think about what i should say to ppl and why i should say it and if i did say it what would happen and what would they think...or what would they think of me...these thoughts would always be on my mind to the point where i would become sick. hmmm....do you called that an obsession...or i mean do you think thats an obsession? thats kind of different...its not directed towards someone or something but to my feelings and thoughts.....hmm...thats kind of sad to me....obsessed with my own feelings and thoughts.
but the way you put it...i dont know now if it is obsession....
and like i said before i was obsessed with guy berryman....even though i was just playing....btw i still love you guy....i am infatuated by this person and he doesnt even know it.....but that is just something little...something i play around with...and actually if that was an obsession i wouldnt call it that.....he's just someone i talk about on here...i never mention his name anywhere else...well mainly because no one else knows about him.
ok i'm gonna stop here because i have the feeling i'm not making any sense. :?

You are an obsession
I cannot sleep
I am a possession
Unopened at your feet
There is no balance
No equality
Be still
I will not accept defeat

I will have you
Yes I will have you
I will find a way and I will have you
Like a butterfly
A wild butterfly
I will collect you and capture you

You are an obsession
You're my obsession
Who do you want me to be
To make you sleep with me
You are an obsession
You're my obsession
Who do you want me to be
To make you sleep with me

I feed you I drink you
My day and my night
I need you I need you
By sun or candlelight
You protest you want to leave
Stay there's no alternative

Your face appears again
I see the beauty there
But I see danger
Stranger beware
A circumstance in your naked dream
Your affection is not what it seems

You are an obsession
You're my obsession
Who do you want me to be
To make you sleep with me
You are an obsession
You're my obsession
Who do you want me to be
To make you sleep with me

My fantasy has turned to madness
All my goodness has turned to badness
My need to posess you has consumed my soul
My life is trembling I have no control

I will have you
Yes I will have you
I will find a way and I will have you
Like a butterfly
A wild butterfly
I will collect you and capture you

You are an obsession
You're my obsession
Who do you want me to be
To make you sleep with me
You are an obsession
You're my obsession
Who do you want me to be
To make you sleep with me
