Psycho
Muse Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Love, it will get you nowhere
You're on your own
Lost in the wild
So come to me now
I could use someone like you
Someone who'll kill on my command
And asks no questions

I'm gonna make you
I'm gonna break you
I'm gonna make you
A fucking psycho
A fucking psycho
A fucking psycho
Your ass belongs to me now

Are you a human drone?
(Aye, sir)
Are you a killing machine?
(Aye, sir)
I'm in control, motherfucker, do you understand?
(Aye, sir)

Your mind is just a program
And I'm the virus
I'm changing the station
I'll improve your thresholds
I'll turn you into a super drone (a super drone)
And you will kill on my command
And I won't be responsible

I'm gonna make you
I'm gonna break you
I'm gonna make you
A fucking psycho
A fucking psycho
A fucking psycho
Your ass belongs to me now

Are you a psycho killer?
Say, "I'm a psycho killer"
(I am a psycho killer)
Scream it
(I am a psycho killer)
Show me your war face
(Ah)
You are a pussy
I said show me your war face
(Ah)

I'm gonna make you
I'm gonna break you
I'm gonna make you
A fucking psycho
A fucking psycho
A fucking psycho
Your ass belongs to me now

I will break you, do you understand?
I will break you, do you understand?
I will break you, do you understand?
I will break you, do you understand?
(Aye, sir)

You fucking psycho
Your ass belongs to me now, yeah
Your ass belongs to me now

Overall Meaning

The song Psycho by Muse can be interpreted as a commentary on brainwashing and the dangers of blindly following authority. The lyrics describe a person who is lost and searching for guidance, only to be manipulated by a figure who sees them as nothing more than a mindless drone. The manipulator seeks to turn the person into a killing machine that will carry out their commands without question, with the promise of power and control. The victim is coerced into affirming their allegiance and surrendering their agency, and the manipulator asserts their domination over them.


The repetition of the phrase "I'm gonna make you/A fucking psycho/Your ass belongs to me now" reinforces the idea of someone being forcefully transformed into a violent and uncontrollable tool. The use of military terminology such as "I'm in control, motherfucker, do you understand?" and "Show me your war face" adds to the theme of authority and militaristic brainwashing. The line "Your mind is just a program/And I'm the virus" highlights the idea that the victim's identity and free will are being overwritten by the manipulator.


Overall, the lyrics of Psycho encourage listeners to be wary of those who seek to control and manipulate them, and to be vigilant in protecting their own agency and autonomy.
