Modern Psyche
April Towers Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Thought you're in, No regrets, The girl you trust is running retrospect, A common world, of pure neglect.Just when you thought, You 'd learn to cope, This modern psyche put you on the ropes, A misfit world, of such pretence, pretence.
Our little love is
Like a disco feeling, Your breaking me
Down, leaves me wanting it more.Our little trust is
Like a big wound healing, Your breaking me
Down, leaves me stuck to the floor.
What do I say, unto a brand new day? My love is silent, gives no clues away.That distant world, of pure neglect. Don't know what to expect.I check my phone, Leaving me alone, I start to wonder if it's me you loathe, I go outside, And see you go home.
Our little love is
Like a disco feeling, Your breaking me down,
Leaves me wanting it more.Our little trust is
Like a big wound healing, Your breaking me
Down, leaves me stuck to the floor.Our little love is
Like a blocked out highway, Your breaking me down
Leaves me punching the walls, Our little trust is
Being turned out sideways, Your breaking me down
Leaves me struggling for words.
Like a distant sea, Holding onto me, This is a scenic past, Of every boy you need, Like a distant hope, Say you just can't cope, Say you just can't cope.
Our little love is
Like a disco feeling, Your breaking me
Down, leaves me wanting it more.Our little trust is
Like a big wound healing, Your breaking me
Down, leaves me stuck to the floor.Our little love is
Like a blocked out highway, Your breaking me down
Leaves me punching the walls, Our little trust is




Being turned out sidewaysYour breaking me down
Leaves me struggling for words...(repeat)
