Sex Hysteria Lyrics – Jessie Murph

Sex Hysteria Lyrics Meaning

[Intro]
Lost, confused, unsure of self

[Verse 1]
She’s comparing herself to strong, overwhelming things like peppermint and cinnamon—intense and hard to handle. Her feelings hit suddenly, like a sugar spike or a quick painkiller rush. The person she’s into feels distant or stuck, like waiting in cement, but she keeps falling for them. It’s toxic, slow, and harmful—like a disease growing inside her. All she ever really wanted was love or just a hug, something simple, but now it feels like it’s suffocating her. She’s overwhelmed, hurting, and doing everything she can to hold it together, but it’s not working.

[Chorus]
She’s trapped in this unhealthy desire, pulled back to the same person over and over, even though it’s not good for her. It’s intense and obsessive, like she can’t stop herself no matter how much it hurts or how bad it gets.

[Verse 2]
She thought her life would be better—maybe even glamorous, like being in Paris—but now she’s just ashamed and hiding. Everything’s falling apart. The person who once felt close now feels like a threat, and she’s becoming painfully aware of how messed up things are. Maybe they know it too, and that just adds to her shame. She’s spiraling, questioning everything, wondering if the things she says or feels even matter. People might be trying to help or tell her things, but it’s all noise she can’t process. She’s dealing with emotional baggage she didn’t ask for, stuff passed down to her. She knows she could let it go, but she’s too scared, especially of being alone. That fear keeps her stuck.

[Chorus]
Again, she falls back into that same toxic cycle. No matter how much she tells herself to stop, she can’t help but go back. The pull is too strong, even if it keeps hurting her.

[Outro]
She keeps going back to this person, like she’s stuck on repeat. It’s become a cycle she can’t break, even though it clearly brings her more pain than peace.
