As someone who becomes obsessed with things easily, especially people in my life, this song is so clearly about obsession, though not in a crazy sense, just in the sense of a new set of feelings you may have for someone, though it's someone you can't really be with. It doesn't even have to be romantically, just a great sense of admiration for someone, and that person clearly doesn't feel the same way. Now, this may be where personal experience steps in, but from there, these totally platonic feelings one has evolve into romantic, sexual, and eventually just plain obsessive feelings, simply because they won't requite the initial platonic feelings. It's a really beautiful song, that's helped me through some hard times.
