Background

edit

Amiel said of "Obsession": "The song went through many changes and has had many lives. In the end it [the song] took on a kind of Nine Inch Nails vibe. That's what Josh is like. He becomes obsessed and driven toward a particular thing and in this song that is what he wanted. It totally works for this song to be dark and strange because it helps illustrate the obsessive, deluded character that I am playing."[2]
