This is a song called closet
Closet
Oh Billie I want you so
I'm trying to meet you
Too many things they don't know
Too many repeatings
Of beatings
And I'm walking around your closet
I want you to say my name again
I'm walking around your closet
I want you to say my name again
So Billie I lost control
I'm trying to meet you
Too many things they don't know
Too many repeatings
Of beatings
So I'm walking around your closet
I want you to say my name again
So I'm walking around your closet
I want you to say my name again
So don't stop
Don't stop
Don't turn around
So Billie I lost control
I'm trying to meet you
Too many things they don't know
Too many repeatings
Of beatings
Beatings
Sayin' I'm walking around your closet
I want you to say my name again
I'm walking around your closet
I want you to say my name again
I'm walking around your closet
I want you to say my name again
I'm walking around your closet
I want you to say my name again
So Billie I lost control,
I want you to say my name again
So Billie I lost control
I want you to say my name again
So Billie I lost control
I want you to say my name again
So Billie I lost control
I want you to say my name again
So don't stop
Don't stop
Don't turn around
Closet
Oh Billie I want you so
I'm trying to meet you
Too many things they don't know
Too many repeatings
Of beatings
And I'm walking around your closet
I want you to say my name again
I'm walking around your closet
I want you to say my name again
So Billie I lost control
I'm trying to meet you
Too many things they don't know
Too many repeatings
Of beatings
So I'm walking around your closet
I want you to say my name again
So I'm walking around your closet
I want you to say my name again
So don't stop
Don't stop
Don't turn around
So Billie I lost control
I'm trying to meet you
Too many things they don't know
Too many repeatings
Of beatings
Beatings
Sayin' I'm walking around your closet
I want you to say my name again
I'm walking around your closet
I want you to say my name again
I'm walking around your closet
I want you to say my name again
I'm walking around your closet
I want you to say my name again
So Billie I lost control,
I want you to say my name again
So Billie I lost control
I want you to say my name again
So Billie I lost control
I want you to say my name again
So Billie I lost control
I want you to say my name again
So don't stop
Don't stop
Don't turn around

He met a woman named Bilie (i have a woman friend of the same name and spelling- so I immediately mapped that right over! lol).
Perhaps she shared that she was beaten as a child. Perhaps he just stalked a 12 step group for survivors of abuse.
But he's sick, inappropriate and waaaay over obsessing about her.
and now he has "lost control"- he's broken in to her home, wanted to be near her, even literally walking around her closet - hell, he's so creepy he's definitely been through the undies drawer!
Actually, with the above construct, the "walking around your closet" is even better fit for a metaphoric construct. Dude's so far gone, he's sure to be presuming he just KNOWS the object of his obsession so well, he can mentally walk through all her hidden secrets...
or, wait, is that just another aspect of his overblown imagination?
The don't stop, don't turn around is just even more of the stalking behavior (be spotted would blow his cover and his twisted fantasy).
in short: NO boundaries!
It is so well written and constructed: it's anxiety inducing to read, while blissfully just rocks out, played very loudly in the car!
HA! :o)
oh yeah- last thought, if the name was spelled Billy, I would equally change all the pronouns around, including same sex construct(s)- that says a lot about how well Yorn writes dark lyrics, and tells great tales of the human condition (crazy naked apes!)
"Closet," to me, it's just a power pop song, kind of fun, but with dark lyrics. And I believe it's about some sort of an obsessive person.
I thought he said bliss you
