Psycho
Buzz Poets Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Blah, blah, blah, blah
Send me on down, and take me on down
'Cause I don't say no wherever she goes
I will follow
Upside down the mind spins 'round
But I bet she knows wherever I go
I'll be back tomorrow
Throw myself down at your feet
Still I grovel at your feet
Now you know why I'm feelin' so low
'Cause I bet she knows wherever I go
Head is hollow
Silver man, come take me away, I'm psycho
Men from mars are shooting stars, I'm psycho
Tick tock time, I'll walk the fine line
It'll make me blind but everything's fine
I am melting
Ping pong brain the chatanooga train
But I lost my rhyme I'm feelin' so fine
Come and take me away

[Chorus:]
Yeah, me gun go click, me gun go bang
Listen to me girl 'cause the buzz poets understand
You be givin' up the box to another man
Now you know that I am precocious
The supercalafragilisticexpealidocious
Shoulda known that ya couldn't be true to me
Now I'm happy to say that I'm gonna set ya free
I was true but now we're through and you can cruise
And lose and lose and get a taste of my attitude
My girlfriend makes my head spin
But she smells like sin cash the girl in
Love so hollow
Upside down the mind spins 'round
But I bet she knows wherever I go




I'll be back tomorrow
'Cause I've lost my mind...

Overall Meaning

The song "Psycho" by Buzz Poets is about a tumultuous and obsessive relationship. The lyrics delve into the singer's self-destructive tendencies in following their lover, even though they know it's not healthy for them. The first verse begins with the repetition of "blah, blah, blah," as if the singer is trying to silence their racing thoughts about their lover. The refrain of "send me on down, and take me on down" highlights their inability to resist following their lover wherever they go, even when they know it's not good for them. The line "I bet she knows wherever I go, I'll be back tomorrow" shows that the singer is aware of their own obsession but can't help themselves.


The second verse describes the singer's delusional and unstable mental state. The imagery of the "silver man" taking them away and the reference to "men from mars" emphasizes their erratic behavior. The line "tick tock time, I'll walk the fine line, it'll make me blind but everything's fine" suggests that the singer is aware of their dangerous behavior but chooses to ignore it. The bridge repeats the idea of the singer's "ping pong brain" and their inability to focus, followed by the realization that they've "lost their rhyme" and their mind.


The chorus contains a shift in perspective, with the singer addressing their lover directly. The repetition of "me gun go click, me gun go bang" shows their anger and frustration towards their lover's infidelity. The line "the buzz poets understand" suggests that the band relates to the singer's emotions and experiences.
