I Feel Possessed Lyrics
She said I could never do that
But I know you can, you are in my dream
We are one person not two of a kind
And what was mine is now in your possession
I could feel you underneath my skin
As the wind rushed in,
Sent the kitchen table crashing
She said nobody move
Or I'll bring the house down
I hardly know which way is up
Or which way down
People are strange God only knows
I feel possessed when you come round
It was one of those times
Wished I had a camera on me
Six foot off the ground
Well I know how that sounds
Look above you and beyond me too
That kind of view don't need an explanation
I'm not lying, not asking for anything
I just want to be there when it happens again
I hardly know which way is up or which way down
People are strange God only knows
I feel possessed when you come round
Whenever you invade my home
Everything I know flies out the window
It's above you and beyond me too
I don't want an explanation
But I'll be there when you bring the house down
I hardly know which way is up or which way down
People are strange God only knows
I feel possessed when you come round
People are strange
I feel possessed when you come round
But I know you can, you are in my dream
We are one person not two of a kind
And what was mine is now in your possession
I could feel you underneath my skin
As the wind rushed in,
Sent the kitchen table crashing
She said nobody move
Or I'll bring the house down
I hardly know which way is up
Or which way down
People are strange God only knows
I feel possessed when you come round
Wished I had a camera on me
Six foot off the ground
Well I know how that sounds
Look above you and beyond me too
That kind of view don't need an explanation
I'm not lying, not asking for anything
I just want to be there when it happens again
People are strange God only knows
I feel possessed when you come round
Everything I know flies out the window
It's above you and beyond me too
I don't want an explanation
But I'll be there when you bring the house down
People are strange God only knows
I feel possessed when you come round
People are strange
I feel possessed when you come round

This is a seriously underrated song. I think it's about being in love with someone who throws you off-balance and confuses you, but you don't really want to make sense of things, you just want the thrill of being with them.
I couldn't agree more with you fromadistantsun, on the subject of being underrated.
This is quite possibly my favourite Finn song.
I relate to this song a little differently. As somebody who has been living with mental illnesses like severe depression, dissociation and anxiety I see the female in this song as the dark part of myself ("one person not two of a kind") who unexpectedly takes over who I am "everything I know goes out the window" and threatens to "brings the house down". Its like when things are at their worst I watch vicariously as she takes control ("I feel possessed") and after coming to terms that "she" is a part of me I stop questioning and embrace her ("Whenever you invade my home everything I know flies out the window, It's above you and beyond me too, I don't want an explanation but I'll be there when you bring the house down")
@Shannonymous297 I made an account just to upvote your comment. I totally agree. The first verse sounds like someone struggling with a breakdown / split personalities kind of thing.

I think its about feeling suffocated in a relationship. I love the quirky sounds in it.
