Lyrics of O.C.D.O.D. by The Hives
Whoo
I’m counting every breath I eat
Walking sideways down the street
Chewing on a plastic pen
It’s gonna kill my brain again
I can’t go home
I’m sorting stones
Clicking bones
In the danger zone
Can’t call God on the phone
I feel so
All alone
I’m going down
I’m going down
I’m going down
I’m going down
Ah, O.C.D.O.D, that’s what’s happened to me
O.C.D.O.D, now it’s plain to see
O.C.D.O.D, that’s what’s happened to me
What has happened to me?
O-C-D-O-D-D
I’m gonna count to ten and then
I’m gonna count to ten again
I ́m gotta count to ten and then
Then I’m gonna count to ten again, it’s gonna do my head right in
O.C.D.O.D, that’s what’s happened to me
O.C.D.O.D, now it’s plain to see
O.C.D.O.D, what has happened to me?
What has happened to me?
O-C-D-O—D
Meaning of O.C.D.O.D. Lyrics
The singer starts by showing how tangled his mind feels. He is aware of every tiny thing he does, like counting breaths and chewing on a pen, and it makes him feel stuck and overwhelmed. Walking sideways and doing strange actions shows he feels off balance and disconnected from normal life.
He talks about being trapped in his own habits and routines, doing things over and over, like sorting stones or clicking bones, even in risky situations. He feels isolated and can’t reach out for help, which makes him feel even more alone and like he’s losing control.
He keeps repeating the same counts and actions, showing how obsessive and frustrating these behaviors are. He realizes it’s obvious something is wrong with him, but he can’t stop, and the cycle keeps pulling him deeper into his own chaos.
