stockholm syndrome

(1) Psychological condition in which hostages grow attached to their captor. This can cause the hostages to not testify against him or her and even to try to prevent themselves from being rescued.
(2) Song by blink-182 about paranoia and the feeling that someone's always watching you or reading your mind.

(1) "See that hostage over there ripping the negotiator's head off? He probably suffers from Stockholm syndrome."
(2) "This is the first (thing I remember)
Now it's the last (thing left on my mind)
Afraid of the dark (do you hear me whisper?)
An empty heart (replaced with paranoia)
Where do we go? (Life's temporary)
After we're gone (like New Year's resolutions)
Why is this hard? (Do you recognize me?)
I know I'm wrong (but I can't help believing)"
