“Obsession” is the third single from Joywave’s album Possession. The song is about finding a consuming distraction from one’s mental state. Just as obsessions can be negative themselves, Joywave is implying that picking and choosing is the only way to avoid breaking down.

[Intro]
A new obsession
[Verse 1]
There's something
Lurking in the back of my mind
And lately
I feel it sliding into the light
[Chorus]
I just need something
To get me through the night, oh
A new obsession
Something to hold in my sights
(Something to behold in my sights)
I just need something

A new obsession
Something to hold in my sights
(Something to behold in my sights)
[Verse 2]
Sometimes

[Chorus]
I just need something

A new obsession
Something to hold in my sights
(Something to behold in my sights)
[Outro]
I just need something
To get me through the night, oh
A new obsession
Something to hold in my sights
(Something to behold in my sights)
I just need something
To get me through the night, oh
(To get me through the night, to get me through the night)
I just need something
Obsession (Obsession, obsession, obsession)
Something to hold in my sights
