Sociopath
Jeremy Zucker Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You are a grade-A
Sociopath in my mind
And you are a landslide
Or a landmine in my life
I'm so sick of every question
You've been buggin' from the start
Am I what you were dreamin' of?
Is this what you were dreamin' up?
I can read your mind already
Oh-so full of new ideas
Is this what we were meant to be?
Just exactly what you need

So, if you ask me how I've been
I'm ready to lie
If you ask me how I am
I'm doin' alright

You can tell yourself your reasons
California dreamin' every night
(Cut when your heart start bleeding)
(Come back when your heart stop beating)
I don't know which one I'm leaving
Never felt so good to say goodbye
(Cut when your heart start bleeding)
(Come back when your heart stop beating)

Can you hear me now? Your favorite sound
Are you on a cloud, blackin' out? (Yeah)
But you played your part, made it hard
If I walked away (yeah), you'd fall apart
And I talk you down every time you call
And we chalk it up to the alcohol
But you weren't the best and I fear the worst
Now I don't think I'd know what to say (yeah)

If you ask me how I've been
I'm ready to lie (oh-oh)
If you ask me how I am
I'm doin' alright

(Alright, alright)




(Cut when your heart start bleeding)
(Come back when your heart stop beating)

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Jeremy Zucker's song "Sociopath" depict a complex and tumultuous relationship with someone who is described as a sociopath. The opening lines, "You are a grade-A sociopath in my mind, and you are a landslide or a landmine in my life," suggest that the person being addressed possesses manipulative and destructive qualities that deeply affect the singer's emotional well-being.


The singer expresses frustration with the constant questioning from this person, as they have been bothered by their behavior since the beginning of the relationship. The lines, "Am I what you were dreaming of? Is this what you were dreaming up?" indicate uncertainty about whether the singer meets the expectations and desires of this person. It also implies that the singer can already anticipate the thoughts of their counterpart, emphasizing the unhealthy predictability of the relationship.


The chorus reveals the singer's inclination to fabricate their feelings when asked about their well-being. "So, if you ask me how I've been, I'm ready to lie. If you ask me how I am, I'm doing alright," suggests that the singer no longer wishes to be honest with their feelings, possibly due to the toxic dynamics caused by the sociopathic individual.


The second verse delves deeper into the toxic nature of this relationship. The line, "Can you hear me now? Your favorite sound. Are you on a cloud, blacking out?" implies that the sociopathic individual may not fully comprehend the emotional impact of their actions. The singer feels burdened by the responsibility of keeping the other person stable, as leaving would cause them to fall apart.


Moreover, the line "And we chalk it up to the alcohol" highlights the pattern of using substances as a means to justify or dismiss the negative aspects of the relationship. The singer acknowledges that the person was not the best partner, and they fear the consequences of confronting the reality of the situation.


Overall, "Sociopath" portrays a relationship plagued by manipulation, uncertainty, and a constant need for validation. The lyrics express the singer's weariness and readiness to conceal their true emotions, as well as their struggle to navigate the complexity of the relationship.


Line by Line Meaning

You are a grade-A Sociopath in my mind
In my perception, you embody the characteristics and behaviors of a highly manipulative and deceitful individual


And you are a landslide Or a landmine in my life
Your presence in my life is like a destructive force capable of causing immense damage, either gradually or suddenly


I'm so sick of every question You've been buggin' from the start
I am tired and frustrated by the constant inquiries and probing that you have subjected me to since the beginning


Am I what you were dreamin' of? Is this what you were dreamin' up?
I wonder if I meet your expectations and live up to the idealized version of me that you had envisioned


I can read your mind already Oh-so full of new ideas
I can already anticipate your thoughts and intentions as you are constantly brimming with novel concepts and plans


Is this what we were meant to be? Just exactly what you need
Are we destined to be together in this way, fulfilling only your desires and requirements without consideration for my own needs?


So, if you ask me how I've been I'm ready to lie
If you inquire about my well-being, I am prepared to deceive you by providing an untruthful response


If you ask me how I am I'm doin' alright
If you inquire about my current state, I will claim to be managing well, despite potential struggles


You can tell yourself your reasons California dreamin' every night
You can justify your actions to yourself, indulging in illusions and fantasies of a perfect life, akin to 'California dreamin'


(Cut when your heart start bleeding) (Come back when your heart stop beating)
Leave when your emotions become overwhelming and painful, and return only when you have regained emotional stability


I don't know which one I'm leaving Never felt so good to say goodbye
I am uncertain which aspect of you I am distancing myself from, but I have never experienced such relief and satisfaction in parting ways


Can you hear me now? Your favorite sound Are you on a cloud, blackin' out? (Yeah)
Are you finally paying attention to me? Is it gratifying for you to hear my voice? Or are you in a state of blissful oblivion, detached from reality?


But you played your part, made it hard If I walked away (yeah), you'd fall apart
You fulfilled your role in our dynamic, making it difficult for me to leave. If I were to depart, you would crumble and struggle to cope


And I talk you down every time you call And we chalk it up to the alcohol
Whenever you reach out to me in distress, I try to calm you down and rationalize your behavior by attributing it to the effects of alcohol


But you weren't the best and I fear the worst Now I don't think I'd know what to say (yeah)
You didn't fulfill my expectations or meet the standards of being the best partner. Now, I am unsure if I would even know how to express my feelings towards you


Alright, alright (Cut when your heart start bleeding) (Come back when your heart stop beating)
I am attempting to reassure myself that everything is fine, even though it may not be. Leave when the pain becomes unbearable, and return only when you have recovered
