Some examples of what I’m looking for is Shame by Stabbing Westward or the bridge in Lonely Day by System Of A Down. (“And if you go, I wanna go with you / And if you die, I wanna die with you / Take your hand and walk away”) Songs about complete devotion to a person, loving them so much you would do whatever they asked, not having an identity without this person, they are all you have, you would die for them, etc.

I’m not looking for stalker-ish songs like Dangerous by Big Data & Joywave or Mx. Sinister by I DONT KNOW HOW BUT THEY FOUND ME and I’m not a fan of rap, pop and most indie music (indie rock is acceptable).

Thank you :)

I heard Shame by Stabbing Westward for the first time a few months ago and have listened to it dozens of times since. Nice to see it mentioned somewhere, I didn’t know if it was a well known song or not.

The albums 'worship and tribute' and 'everything you ever wanted to know about silence' are both cover to cover what you're looking for in my opinion. Pure emotion.

It was a moment, yes, a psychotic level thought about needing to preserve every moment. Like dying would result otherwise. https://open.spotify.com/track/4yxJZ36Yntw5cOvIV0t1Wm?si=BZPiGXcAQ3y6UON3uXYO_w

I actually do like this song but it’s a little different to what I’m looking for. Love Hate Love is more about intense want for control and ownership of a person rather than absolute devotion and possibly submission to a person which is what I’m looking for. Thank you for the recommendation though, it’s much appreciated

"Ultimate Devotion" Strung Out Most their songs are about love and obsession. It's on my list of favorite breakup music.

Plus anything by NIN. Specifically "Something I can Never Have"

The lyrics are exactly what I’m looking for but the intensity is lacking, if you know what I mean. If the genre were different possibly? But thank you for the suggestion, I had forgot about that song until now. It was a nice refresher :)

Every Breath You Take by the Police. Sting once expressed disbelief and concern that so many people reported to him that this was the song they choose to play at their wedding.
