One of DCFC’s best known songs, “I Will Possess Your Heart” is a chilling pronouncement from a stalker toward the object of his obsession. The song opens with a tense instrumental ostinato, repeating the same bass line and piano signature for 4½ minutes. After the instrumental builds, the song crack...
[Instrumental Intro]
[Verse 1]
How I wish you could see the potential
The potential of you and me
It's like a book elegantly bound, but
In a language that you can't read just yet
[Chorus]
You gotta spend some time, love
You gotta spend some time with me
And I know that you'll find love
I will possess your heart
You gotta spend some time, love
You gotta spend some time with me
And I know that you'll find love
I will possess your heart
[Verse 2]
There are days when, outside your window
I see my reflection as I slowly pass
And I long for this mirrored perspective
When we'll be lovers, lovers at last
[Chorus]
You gotta spend some time, love
You gotta spend some time with me
And I know that you'll find love
I will possess your heart
You gotta spend some time, love
You gotta spend some time with me
And I know that you'll find love
I will possess your heart
[Post-Chorus]
I will possess your heart
I will possess your heart
[Bridge]
You reject my advances
And desperate pleas
I won't let you let me down
So easily
So easily
[Chorus]
You gotta spend some time, love
You gotta spend some time with me
And I know that you'll find love
I will possess your heart
You gotta spend some time, love
You gotta spend some time with me
And I know that you'll find love
I will possess your heart
You gotta spend some time, love
You gotta spend some time with me
And I know that you'll find love
I will possess your heart
[Post-Chorus]
I will possess your heart
I will possess your heart

The song is basically about a stalker. It’s about this nice guy who wants this girl he can’t have, and he believes they’ll be together once she realizes how great he is—he just has to wait it out. That’s the part that makes the song really creepy, the delusion of thinking that they were meant to be...
