1 year after performing on Switzerland's Got Talent, I achieved to collect 15'000CHF to record this song and shoot this videoclip with the help of many people. The song is about my experience with Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) and I hope that it will inspire more people struggling with this disorder. The problem of typical representations of OCD is that they only show the compulsions but never the obsessive nature of this disorder. Knowing that usual representations of OCD are most of the times comical (series like Monk, The Big Bang Theory, of the movie As Good As It Gets) and contribute to the production of many stereotypes, I tried to represent as many different cases of OCD as possible by giving an access into the mind of the sufferer. This project was aimed to support the research of OCD. Hence, all money that this video will make will be donated to the research. So view this video as many times as possible! :) Share this video as much as possible and use the hashtag #OCDletmego !

LYRICS: I remember The moment when we met. When I saw your eyes, When my thoughts escalated. I’d never felt this before, Uh! When I glanced at your claws, Your mesmerizing sharp teeth. Why the hell is your voice in my head? Every sound from your hungry mouth Is one big fearful lie. At least I hope so… Faster, faster my heart pounds. Irrationalities are pumping Boiling blood to my brain. Oh, my thoughts are thinking about themselves And I’m sinking into confusion. -CHORUS- Let me go out of this hole. Let my thoughts follow their flow. Let my heart beat its own beats. Let me free from all anxiety. Wherever I go you follow me. As if we were a couple in love Obsessing about each other. But your toxic hand is grabbing my neck. Your long nails are boring through. And I’m choking, stop breathing my lung’s air. Chemical thoughts are poisoning me That I’m so close to unzip my own veins. -CHORUS- I’m starting to believe in what you’re telling me. Every drop of doubt pulls me down compulsively Distorting my memories With the rumination of all these questions: Is it clean? (It’s dirty) Is it closed? Is it safe? (Are you sure) Is it open? Is it right? What if it’s wrong? (it is) Is it off? What if it’s on? Am I sick? (die) Am I dying? Are we meant (you’re not) for each other? Is it normal? (No) Is it straight? (It’s not) Is it queer? (gay) Is it queer? (gay) Is it queer? Now listen to me my friend. This is not the end. You’re just stuck in the prison Of your own thoughts. Thinking won’t get you out. If it did you would be out. I guess you figured it out. All by yourself. The secret is to accept. So make the first step To face your mind’s threat Of all the time being scared. Don’t fight it. Embrace, inhale it. It’s a battle you have to lose In order to win the war.
