Between Angels and Insects

"Between Angels and Insects", also known by its working title of "Obsession", is the third single from Californian rock band Papa Roach's second album, Infest, and third released single in total. It is also one of the band's most well known songs.

The song was used by the WWF as the main theme for their InVasion PPV in 2001.

Music video

The video was directed by Joseph Kahn and features the band playing in a concrete basement/garage. The camera does several special effects like morph from angle to angle rapidly, show the band moshing in super slow motion and even passing through the band's body, revealing their insides, effects that are reminiscent of the film version of Fight Club. Cockroaches appear on several occasions, even coming out of Jacoby Shaddix's mouth when he screams.

Lyrics

The song's lyrics feature numerous references to the novel Fight Club by Chuck Palahniuk. A couple of lines in the song, "...working jobs that you hate for that shit you don't need...", "...the things you own, own you now...", are taken directly from a speech by Tyler Durden in the film adaptation of the book. It also seems critical of consumerism, as the chorus lyrics include, "Take my money, take my possessions, take my obsession, I don't need that shit...".
