History Main / ObsessionSong

* "You Make Me So Hot" by AvrilLavigne, also, "Girlfriend".

** "Space Dementia" describes a weird {{Tsundere}} version: "You make me sick / But I adore you so..." That is, if it's not just talking about SpaceMadness. (Although there's always the possibility that it's both.)

* {{Evanescence}}: Surrender and Anything For You fall into both catagories.*

* TheVeronicas ''Everything'' and ''I Can't Stay Away''

---> '''Forget about fate and just hold me''

* TheSmashingPumpkins' "Ava Adore" might count.

* * Until You're Mine by DemiLovato is rather passive.

* {{Evanescence}} Surrender and Anything For You fall into both catagories.*

* * {{Evanescence}} Surrender and Anything For You fall into both catagories.*

* EmilieAutumn: Opheliac has shades of both types...[[The water rises up again DrivenToSuicide]]...AND diva/metal screaming!

*

* * {{Evanescence}} Surrender and Anything For You fall into both catagories.

* Until You're Mine by DemiLovato is rather passive.
---> ''Wanted something out of reach''
---> ''It's killing me, you're all I see, yeah''

* Until You're Mine by DemiLovato is rather aggressive
---> '''Forget about fate and just hold me''

* {{Evanescence}} has ''Taking Over Me'' which falls into the Passive category.

* {{Evanescence}} also has ''Snow White Queen'' which falls into the Aggressive category when told from the POV of the stalker (the stalkee's POV makes up the rest of the song.
* As the name implies, Assemblage 23's "Let Me Be Your Armor"'s protagonist is very chivalrous, but it's [[LampshadeHanging lampshaded]] that his love is [[MyBelovedSmother a bit more possessive]] than most. That or its about an eerily overprotective parent. Either way its obsessive, controlling, and downright creepy.

* Chauvelin gets "Marguerite" in the musical adaptation of ''TheScarletPimpernel'', where's he PromotedToLoveInterest. Ironically, his obsession in the original novel is even stronger... it's just for [[FoeYay the Scarlet Pimpernel]].

* [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7UUKREIK8yg "I Put A Spell On You"]] by Screamin' Jay Hawkins is classic example. Originally supposed to be a passive example, but then one of the recording crew brought in booze, turning it into one of the most famous aggressive examples ever.
** Made [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Y99tXNxV5s strangely sexy]] by Nina Simone (then again, it ''is'' Nina Simone...).
*** And then made predictably terrifying by {{Marilyn Manson}}.
* ThePolice's "Every Breath You Take" is one of the most famous {{Obsession Song}}s, if not ''the'' most famous.
** Probably the most famous one you'll ever [[IsntItIronic dance to at homecoming]].
** "Can't Stand Losing You" is another. A classic case of LyricalDissonance.
* ElvisCostello's "I Want You", which contains heavy doses of both passive and aggressive.
* Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds - "From Her To Eternity", "Hard On For Love", and several others. Nick Cave really likes this trope, specifically the aggressive MurderBallad variety.
** Don't forget ''No Pussy Blues'', complete with it's own kind of {{Madness Mantra}} ("''she just didn't want to''")
* Morrissey also likes this trope, with quite a few of his songs (both solo and with TheSmiths) falling into the passive category, although he has some more aggressive ones as well, most notably "The More You Ignore Me, The Closer I Get."
** "Jack The Ripper"-- the original version is significantly creepy, too.
* Portishead - "All Mine"
* LisaGermano's [[HighOctaneNightmareFuel "...a psychopath"]] is a ''very'' aggressive ObsessionSong sung from [[InvertedTrope the perspective of the stalkee]].
** Which features an ''actual 911 call.''
* Pretty much any line from Animotion's "[[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin Obsession]]" could work as a page quote for this trope.

* Shellac's "Prayer To God" is a particularly nasty aggressive example.
* PJHarvey's "Legs" is another very aggressive example. Nothing says "I love you" like sawing someone's legs off to keep them from leaving you.
** She also did Rid of Me, which is...passive-aggressive?
* [[{{Garbage}} Garbage's]] "#1 Crush" is a perfect example of the passive variety.
** Only at first. It becomes increasingly aggressive over the course of the song.
** "Vow" [[RefugeInAudacity went beyond this]], mixing obsession with seething rage and threats of extreme violence.
* The Killers - "[[HoYay Andy, You're A Star]]" and "Mr. Brightside."
** Almost the whole of that album...
* Clay Aiken's "Invisible" is an infamous unintentional example.

* Parodied by WeirdAl in "Do I Creep You Out?"
** Another Weird Al example - "Melanie," which includes lines "I had to go through your garbage just to learn more about you, Melanie!"
* Music/{{Blondie}}- "One Way Or Another", "Accidents Never Happen", "Hangin' On the Telephone"
* {{Opeth}} - "The Leper Affinity."
* "[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GDlUWur3kEE The Stalker Song]]."
* {{Ludo}} - "Go-Getter Greg."
** As well as "The Horror Of Our Love" for the 'wearing your skin like a sweater' variety.
* TheyMightBeGiants - "I'm Your Boyfriend Now."
* StephenColbert did one on his show, "Charlene (I'm Right Behind You)" (also the shortest free downloadable track in ''RockBand''). He also made a comment that would be a nice quote for this trope. It went something like, "By the way, Charlene, technically this doesn't violate the restraining order."
* "PlayWithFire" by TheRollingStones is an aggressive ObsessionSong.
* "Betty's Body" by The Residents.

* Death Cab For Cutie's "I Will Possess Your Heart." It lasts 8 minutes (on the album).
* Even TheBeatles did one, [[http://www.beatleslyricsarchive.com/viewSong.php?songID=92 and it's pretty aggressive, too.]] "Run For Your Life" - ''Rubber Soul'', 1965. [[OldShame John Lennon came to hate this song.]]
--> I'd rather see you dead, little girl,
--> Than to be with another man.
** Some other, less extreme, Beatle examples: "I'll Be Back", "No Reply", "You Like Me Too Much", "You Won't See Me", "I Want You (She's So Heavy)".

* SarahMcLachlan's "Possession" sounds rather romantic...until you learn that she put the lyrics together from passages from letters that several stalkers sent to her. Brrrrr...
** It gets progressively creepier, too. From "My body aches to breathe your breath/Your words keep me alive" to "And nothing stands between us here/and I won't be denied". Yeesh.
** One of the stalkers later sued her for plagiarizing his letters, but killed himself before the lawsuit came to trial.
*** And he only wanted to sue her so he could get closer to her when they inevitably met in court. I'll see your Brrrrr and raise you a GAH.
** "Sweet Surrender" might be an example of the passive type.
* TheStooges - "I Wanna Be Your Dog."
** "Your Pretty Face Is Going To Hell"
* MyDyingBride - "Black God" and "Sear Me."
* CradleOfFilth - "Nymphetamine."
* [[http://www.metrolyrics.com/my-obsession-lyrics-icehouse.html "My Obsession"]] by Icehouse.
* [[TheyMightBeGiants Mono Puff's]] remake of Gary Glitter's "Hello Hello" comes out along these lines.
* Guster's "The Airport Song" is about someone who wants to kidnap someone else and turn them into a cultist/lover. ''Really'' creepy.
* Weezer's "No One Else" is a passive version of this - not that the singer has anyone in particular in mind, but pretty much wants a girl to be focused on him to the point that "When I'm away, she never leaves the house."
** Also, their song "Haunt You Everyday" has elements of this.
* The Arrogant Worms have "Celine Dion," about a guy who's obsessed with her - "And I can see your house / From my van" and "[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5CAnXIXTcMM Stalker Girl]]," which, despite being by a fairly obscure band, would make a good auxiliary page quote.
-->She's my creepy stalker girl
-->I'm the center of her whacked-out, crazy, and delusional world
-->She follows me everywhere
-->She's even got a bag with some bits of my hair
-->Just go away, you creepy stalker girl
* If we open it up to one fictional character singing it about another, "[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I_95hSpuu4I Hellfire]]" from the {{Disney}} version of ''Disney/TheHunchbackOfNotreDame'' about Frollo's obsession with Esmerelda qualifies. It's also his VillainSong with a nice BilingualBonus.
--> Protect me, Maria! Don't let this siren cast her spell!
--> Don't let her fire sear my flesh and bone!
--> Destroy Esmerelda, and let her taste the fires of hell,
--> Or else let her be mine and mine alone!
--> Hellfire, dark fire
--> Now gypsy, it's your turn!
--> Choose me or your pyre
--> Be mine or you will burn!

* "Ingrata", from Café Tacuba, [[AlternateCharacterInterpretation can be interpreted]] as either a man berating a woman who just used him and get away by claiming to love him until he got fed up, or a creepy obsssed stalker towards a girl who tried to live her life and in and attempt to calm him she said that she loved him with no sucess. Either way, at the end of the song the singer announces that he's going to shot the woman "so you can get hurt too", and ends "Even if I'm sad for not having you anymore / I'm going to stay with you in your funeral"
* "I Know You're Out There Somewhere", Moody Blues.
* Stabbing Westward has a few of these: "What Do I Have to Do?", "Shame", "You Complete Me" and "Waking Up Beside You", among others.
** ''Darkest Days'' was practically an obsession ConceptAlbum.
* Several comedy bands have variations on this including "Stalker Song" by Tripod and the reversed trope "Stalker Girl" by The Arrogant Worms.
* The DarkReprise of "All I Ask of You" at the end of the first act of ''ThePhantomOfTheOpera'' ends with: "You will curse the day you did not do/All that the Phantom asked of you!" The Phantom proves as good as his word when he causes the chandelier to fall immediately afterward.
** About half of everything the Phantom sings gets into this territory--the inevitable result of being both a MadArtist and a StalkerWithACrush.
* "[[GoldenEye Goldeneye]]" by Tina Turner, for the eponymous JamesBond movie.
* The appropriately titled "Obsesión", by bachata group Aventura, is a kind of verbal confrontation between a StalkerWithACrush (male singer) and the object of his affection (female voice, chorus), where the boy believes that his increasingly invasive, controlling ways are acceptable forms of showing love, and isn't clued by the fact that the girl has been avoiding him as he becoming creepier, and that she's saying quite directly in the chorus that whatever he feels, isn't truly related with love...
* "You Can't Change That", Ray Parker Jr.
* DepecheMode - "It's No Good".

* {{Evanescence}} has two Obsession Songs: ''Snow White Queen'' which falls into the Aggressive category when told from the POV of the stalker (the stalkee's POV makes up the rest of the song, and the lyrics all but say the poor stalkee ends up getting raped), and ''Taking Over Me'' which falls into the Passive category.

* ''Theatre/SweeneyToddTheDemonBarberOfFleetStreet'' has "Johanna", which in the film version of the play comes off as quite stalkerish -- the guy singing it has just taken one hell of a beating at the Beadle, and the look on his bloody face as he sings is quite creepy:
-->''"I'll steal you, Johanna, I'll steal you. Do they think that walls could hide you? Even now, I'm at your window. I am in the dark beside you, buried sweetly in your yellow hair! I feel you, Johanna, and one day I'll steal you!"''
** But it's nothing compared to the "Johanna" sung by Judge Turpin, which makes the above guy look positively heroic by comparison. Which may be the intention.
** Speaking of Sondheim, there's also "Unworthy of Your Love" from ''Assassins'', sung by John Hinckley Jr. and Squeaky Fromme to Jodie Foster and Charles Manson, respectively. Though that one almost sounds sweet out of context.
* {{Devo}}'s "I Desire" comes off as one (if you don't miss it due to LyricalDissonance) even ''without'' the knowledge that it's based on a poem written by real life StalkerWithACrush [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Hinckley_Jr John Hinckley Jr]].

* Played for laughs in "Not About You" by JonathanCoulton, which is about a man who [[SuspiciouslySpecificDenial insists he's not obsessed with]] (or possibly stalking) his ex.
-->Every time I ride past your house I forget it's you who's living there
-->Anyway I never see your face cause your window's up too high
* Charlotte Martin's "I'm Normal, Please Date Me" is a similarly comedic take on it, with a girl insisting that she's not stalking a guy, all the while making it increasingly clear that she is.
* Although possibly not intended as one, Alison Krauss' "Baby, Now That I've Found You" does come off as an ObsessionSong if you [[LyricalDissonance pay attention to the lyrics]].
* "It's a Dangerous Game" from ''Jekyll and Hyde: The Musical'' almost sounds like a romantic duet, except that it's about a psychotic killer stalking a prostitute who's too terrified of/fascinated by him to make a run for it.
* "Goodnight & Go" by ImogenHeap (lead singer of Frou Frou). Some serious LyricalDissonance, too.
--> Follow you home
--> You've got your headphones on and you're dancing
--> Got lucky, beautiful shot
--> You're taking everything off
--> Watch the curtains, wide open
--> And you fall in the same routine
--> Flicking through the TV
--> Relaxed and reclining
--> And you think you're alone ...
* Siouxsie and the Banshees have a song entitled, what else, [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pAs54ITlmvs Obsession]]
* Nellie [=McKay=] did one called "Baby Watch Your Back" [[LyricalDissonance in her cutest voice]].

*** Not to mention "The Nameless" which is very aggressive type and screams "Your mine" alot at the end. And "Gehenna".

* "Lonely Room" from ''Oklahoma!''
* "[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_cTa5d1yKt8 I Wanna Marry My Stalker]]" by Goldfinger. Although sung from the person who's being stalked point of view, the stalker certainly is... Persistent.
** Indeed, and it seems that her efforts are actually paying off, if the title is any indication.
* Buddy Holly's classic and much-covered "Not Fade Away" is pretty creepy in the right light.
* messed around with in the movie SayAnything, where the character Corey has written 65 songs about her ex-boyfriend
* Enrique Iglesias's ''Escape'', in which he sings about, and I quote
-->''"If you feel like leaving, I'm not going to make you stay''
-->''But soon you'll be finding, you can run you can hide but you can't escape my love!''
** The accompanying music video in which he follows her into the [[BrianBlessed BATHROOM]] and proceeds to make out with her. Obsession INDEED!!!
*** Much Fromage, a yearly awards comparable to the Rapsberrys for music videos, awarded the music video for ''Escape'' as "Creepiest Music Video of the Year".
** ''Hero'', while not really an ObsessionSong, has a very humorous parody of it called Stalkerbook.
* Another unintentional-passive example is "Happy Together", by The Turtles. Mostly made so by [[TwistEnding the very last line]], where it becomes apparent that the narrator has ''never spoken'' to the object of his desire.
* SonataArctica has a few. "The End of This Chapter" and "Don't Say a Word" are possibly the most obvious of them.
* TechN9ne's "Psycho Bitch" features an actual answering message from the titular stalker.

* EmilieAutumn's "Be Silent Be Still"
** Also, "Liar", the verses of which are actually from letters written to her by an ex-boyfriend
--->I'm hurting you for your own good
--->I'd die for you - you know I would
--->I'd give up all my wealth
--->To buy you back the soul you never sold
--->I want to mix our blood
--->And put it in the ground
--->So you can never leave
* LadyGaga's "Paparazzi".
* SteelyDan's "Rikki Don't Lose That Number"
* "What'll You Do About Me," originally recorded by Steve Earle, later CoveredUp by The Forester Sisters and then again by Doug Supernaw.
-->And what in the world are you gonna do
-->When a man comes over to visit with you
-->And I'm on the porch with a two-by-two
-->Baby, what'll you do about me
* ''Smiling Karen'' by Tito & Tarantula is about an extremally psychopathic case of this.
* TheSmashingPumpkins' "Ava Adore" might count.
** "Ava Adore" is, according to [[WordOfGod Billy Corgan]], about his mother's death. Which may be even creepier...[[YourMileageMayVary YMMV]]
** "Zero" sounds a lot like the passive variety, although it's hard to tell between the [[WordSaladLyrics rather dense lyrics]].
** "Lily (My One And Only)" is a delusional stalker's narrative paired with a cutesy little singsong tune:
-->Oh Lily, I know you love me
-->'Cause as they're draggin' me away
-->I swear I saw her raise her hand and wave goodbye
* "You Make Me So Hot" by AvrilLavigne, also, "Girlfriend".
* "R.D.C. (Opie's Lament)" by [[DeadBabyComedy Dead Baby Comedian]] Stephen Lynch is sung from the perspective of someone obsessed with Rae Dawn Chong.
* "I'm Gonna Getcha Good" by Shania Twain.
* "I Want Someone To Love" from SailorMoon is a more lighthearted example.
** This one is made a little less lighthearted when you hear how much it sounds like Peek-a-Boo by Siouxsie and the Banshees. Here are links to both: [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ul1pKW-4vD8I Want Someone To Love]] and [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i41W-NIjMfs Peek-a-Boo]]
* Skillet's [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v8YGvmLebVI My Obsession]] is technically a passive song ("Come down to me/Don't ever say that it's over/I kiss your feet/Worship the air you breathe"), but it's certainly a resentful one ("I spend my days/Tangled in thoughts of you/Stuck in this place/Resigned to be your fool"). At one point the singer actually wonders if he's going crazy.
** Considering it's a Christian band [[AlternateCharacterInterpretation it may]] be talking about his relation to God, which doesn't change anything.
* Snake River Conspiracy covers Lovesong in a way that invokes this trope
* Kate Nash's "We Get On" starts off sort of innocent, until the singer's crush is seen with someone else:
-->I don't ever dream about you and me
-->I don't ever make up stuff about us, that would be classed as insanity
-->I don't ever drive by your house to see if you're in
-->I don't even have an opinion on that ''tramp'' you're still seeing
-->I don't know your timetable, I don't know your face off by heart
-->But I must admit there is a part of me that thinks we [[strike: might]] [[strike: could]] ''should'' get on.

* Depending on interpretation, Lou Christie's freakishly catchy "Lightning Strikes" is either a mild but smarmy type 2 or a combination of both -- it probably wasn't intended that way, but there's a clear subtext of a CasanovaWannabe pursuing an utterly uninterested woman.
* {{Radiohead}}'s "All I Need."
** Also "Creep". According to Thom Yorke, it's about a drunk guy following around a woman he's attracted to, lacking the self-confidence to actually approach her. However, many listeners think it's a straightforward unrequited-love song from the perspective of a guy with self-esteem issues... [[DeathOfTheAuthor which is perfectly reasonable from the lyrics themselves]], ''except'' that it provides no explanation for the line "she's running out the door", making it a bit of a BreadEggsMilkSquick. In fairness, that's the least intelligible part of the song, so a lot of people probably didn't even know that's what he was saying.
** "You", also off of Pablo Honey, is another example.
* JacksMannequin gives us "What Gets You Off" and "Miss California".
* 'I Touch Myself' by Divinyls. Not only is it about some uhh [[ADateWithRosiePalms "quality time with oneself",]] it's also about being incredibly obsessed/devoted to them.
* Parachute's "Ghost". It seems passive at first, then it sounds more like the thoughts of an erotomanaical stalker who is trying to tell the victim that they are always together, whether they realize it or not. I honestly have no idea whether or not this was meant to be taken in that context.
-->Look behind you
-->Avoid the shadows
-->Watch your back now
-->Make your breathing shallow
-->Keep your room locked
-->And leave the blinds closed
-->I'm right there staring at your window
-->And all I need is you, all I need is you
-->I'm in the background on the radio
-->I'm in your car, in your house, waiting at your door
-->Under your footsteps, I'm everything you know...
* The Orion Experience has [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3D75QjUmpDo&a=GxdCwVVULXfpkuz72AgVHhoQmMQdC7bl Obsessed With You]]
* Jace Everett (of "Bad Things"/True Blood fame) has at least two: 'Posession' ("you don't even notice me, it makes me want you more [...] I'll be your possession...") and 'Damned If I Do' especially:
-->Late at night, all I can do is walk these streets and think of you [...]
-->I'm damned if I do, and damned if I don't want you.
--> To taste your lips, to touch your skin, to pull you close and drink you in. I should let you go, but I don't know how.
--> I see your face through that windowpane. My lips don't move as I scream your name (etc.)
* As if there wasn't already enough FoeYay in Disney's ''TheGreatMouseDetective'', Ratigan designs his DeathTrap with a MusicalTrigger with "a sprightly tune I recorded especially for" Basil, with lyrics such as "You followed me, I followed you -- we were like each other's shadows for awhile."
* Several {{Music/Muse}} songs, such as "Sing for Absolution", "Endlessly", and "Hysteria".
** "Space Dementia" describes a weird {{Tsundere}} version: "You make me sick / But I adore you so..." That is, if it's not just talking about SpaceMadness. (Although there's always the possibility that it's both.)
* "Don't Leave Home," by Dido.
* The Legendary Pink Dots ''[[IncrediblyLamePun love]]'' this trope, with "Obsession" and "Thursday Night Fever" (see also {{Yandere}}) being crowning examples of the passive and aggressive types respectively.
** Their song "True Love" is also a good (if still [[HighOctaneNightmareFuel rather frightening]]) example of the passive variety, with the lyrical speaker telling the object of his affection that he'll do all kinds of dangerous or harmful things for her (including [[EyeScream plucking out his eyes]] "because love is blind"). It's made even worse when the last lyrics of the song abstractly suggest she's abusive or apathetic towards him.
* TaylorSwift's "You Belong With Me" could be interpreted as this.
-->Think I know where you belong
-->Think I know it's here with me...
-->Can't you see that I'm the one who understands you?
-->Been here all along, so why can't you see?
-->You belong with me?
** Also her song "Speak Now" is a good example of stalker songs.

* The Hush Sound's "Sweet Tangerine," although upbeat and catchy, has the lead singer admit that he is trying to sneak into his ex-girlfriend's home, convinced that he can reconcile their love.
-->Let me in, please it's cold I'm freezing out here, I miss you my dear
-->You're all his and I'm all yours, like it or not, I'm all you've got
-->...
-->Crept through the curtains, as quick as the cold wind
-->Slowly exploring the room where you sleep
-->The stare of your portrait, the passing of your scent
-->Left me no choice but to stay
* London After Midnight's "Love You To Death"
-->You're my possession, a sweet obsession of mine
-->It's just a matter of time; I'll wear you down, one day you will be mine
* Johnny Dowd's gentle country ballad "Hope You Don't Mind" combines this with {{Lolicon}} to ''very'' disturbing effect.
* TeganAndSara's song "Knife Going In" contains the line "On the night I die I swear I'll sleep outside your window." Also "Living Room" seems to be about stalkerish behavior.
* Offspring's [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9zfUFXzbx9k "Special Delivery"]] is pretty blatant with the stalker theme.
* "Jævel av en tango" by KaizersOrchestra. The lyrics, translated, go like this:
-->But, for Señor Flamingo
-->The situation was a win-win situation
-->Either, Clementine would be his wife and his all
-->Or he'd have her five years in an institution
* Chauvelin gets "Marguerite" in the musical adaptation of ''TheScarletPimpernel'', where's he PromotedToLoveInterest. Ironically, his obsession in the original novel is even stronger... it's just for [[FoeYay the Scarlet Pimpernel]].
* Bruno Mars' "sad" singles are all about this. Both [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SR6iYWJxHqs ''Grenade'']] and [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xknW3A5LhZ0 ''Talkin' to the Moon'']] depict a man who whines and obsessively laments over a dead relationship to the point where he turns into a [[StalkerWithACrush stalker,]] [[LoveMakesYouCrazy driven]] [[AxCrazy crazy]] in [[AllTakeAndNoGive hopes that his former significant other would notice such behavior]] and [[LoveRedeems take him back]]. Both songs take the Passive element described at the top of the page.
* Music/DreamTheater's 1994 album ''Awake'' closes with "Space Dye Vest", a song about a deranged man who, rejected by numerous women, becomes obsessed with fashion catalog models to the exclusion of actual human relationships:
-->Now that she's gone I'm trying to take it, learning to swallow the rage
-->Found a new girl I think we can make it, as long as she stays on a page
-->There's no one to take my blame, if they wanted to
-->There's no one to keep me sane, and it's all the same to you
-->There's nowhere to set my aim, so I'm everywhere
-->Never come near me again! Do you really think I need you?
* Queensryche has "Walk in the Shadows" and "Gonna Get Close to You", surprisingly from the same album.
* [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D9sxy9Lgpug Torn Apart]] gets bonus points for being about desperate lust towards ''two'' women at the same time.
* Maroon 5's "Cant stop" , in which he obsesses over a girl so much he "wakes up making love to a pillow".
* Make Me Wanna Die-The Pretty Reckless
---> I'd Die for you, my love, my love
---> I'd lie for you, my love my love
---> I'd steal for you, my love, my love
---> I'd die for you, My love, My love...
** Strictly passive hence: Make Me Wanna Die
* Keroleen by the scottish indie pop band Bis
---> She is my heroine (Wanna! See Her! Wanna! BE HER! Don't go! NEAR HER!)
** It doesn't help that the singer sounds like a he's in shock or that the backing vocals at the chorus sound like a berserk priest with a terrible itch.
* Da Vinci's Notebook's OneWomanSong to "Heather Graham":
---> I have made it my sworn duty
---> To sing the praises of her booty
---> What I would not give to rock her
---> But I can't, so I'll just stalk her
* Does it count as an Obsession Song if it's not about a person? [[TheNightmareBeforeChristmas In any case...]]
-->In these little bric-a-brac,
-->A secret's waiting to be cracked!
-->These dolls and toys confuse me so!
-->Confound it all, I love it, though...
-->Simple objects, nothing more,
-->But something's hidden through a door,
-->Though I do not have the key.
-->Something's here I cannot see!
-->What does it mean?!
-->''What does it mean?!''
-->... What does it ''mean?''

* BillyJoel tried his hand at this one more than once. "All For Leyna" is a pretty good example of a passive one.

* ''SweeneyTodd'' has "Johanna," which in the film version of the play comes off as quite stalkerish -- the guy singing it has just taken one hell of a beating at the Beadle, and the look on his bloody face as he sings is quite creepy:

* DreamTheater's 1994 album ''Awake'' closes with "Space Dye Vest", a song about a deranged man who, rejected by numerous women, becomes obsessed with fashion catalog models to the exclusion of actual human relationships:

* {{Music/Space}} ''love'' this trope. 'Drop Dead' (aggressive), 'Diary Of A Wimp' (both), 'There's No You' (passive), 'Bastard Me Bastard You' (aggressive), 'Turn Me On To Spiders' (aggressive)...and there's probably more.

* "Jaevel av en Tango" by Kaizers Orchestra. The lyrics, translated, go like this:

* Blondie - "One Way Or Another."

* Music/{{Blondie}} has "One Way or Another", which certainly sounds like this during the "I will drive past your house" bridge.

-->... What does it ''mean?''

** "Ava Adore" is, according to [[WordOfGod Billy Corgan]], about his mother's death. Which may be even creepier...[[YMMV YMMV]]

** It doesn't help that the singer sounds like a he's in shock or that the backing vocals at the chorus sound like a berserk priest with a terrible itch.
