The Obsession Song is like a love song written by a Stalker with a Crush or a Yandere. Most examples simply involve obsessive love with heavy overtones of stalking and possessiveness, but some take it to such extreme lengths that it sounds like the singer is planning on raping you, killing you, and keeping your corpse under their bed. The Obsession Song falls into two basic varieties, although many have elements of both: Particularly pathetic Unrequited Love songs often fall into the passive category, while the aggressive variety sometimes overlaps with the Murder Ballad or Villain Love Song.

  • The Obsession Song is like a love song written by a Stalker with a Crush or a Yandere. Most examples simply involve obsessive love with heavy overtones of stalking and possessiveness, but some take it to such extreme lengths that it sounds like the singer is planning on raping you, killing you, and keeping your corpse under their bed. The Obsession Song falls into two basic varieties, although many have elements of both: * Passive - "I belong to you. My entire life revolves around you even if you don't know that I exist and I would do absolutely anything to make you happy even if you treat me like dirt. Please notice me, or I'll probably kill myself." * Aggressive - "You belong to me. You will be mine whether you like it or not. I'll kill anyone else who looks at you, or you if you so much as look at anyone else." Particularly pathetic Unrequited Love songs often fall into the passive category, while the aggressive variety sometimes overlaps with the Murder Ballad or Villain Love Song. Many Obsession Songs are mistaken for love songs, especially when they have Lyrical Dissonance, and sometimes even end up being played at weddings. Conversely, some love songs with nothing but innocent intentions can unintentionally end up as Obsession Songs. Needless to say, this trope can be a potent source of Paranoia Fuel. Examples of Obsession Song include:
