Psycho
Kiri T Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It doesn′t mean I'll pick up your calls
Don′t interrupt my song
Don't tryna hit me up without an online reservation
I don't hate you but I hope
You′d call and cancel our dinner plans
As much as you want me to meet your friends
I'm in my head and I won′t even tryna pretend to be cool when I'm sad
When I say no
Doesn′t mean doesn't mean doesn′t mean I'm psycho
Doesn't mean doesn′t mean doesn′t mean I'm alone
You′re damn right I'm unavailable
When I say no
Doesn′t mean doesn't mean doesn′t mean I'm psycho
Doesn't mean doesn′t mean doesn′t mean I'm alone
Don′t take it too personal
Back and forth and up and down a lot
Burnt out, strung out, nothing's off the clock
Work, grind, hustle
Work, grind, hustle
Till I finally have your attention
And live in a mansion
And earn every honorable mention
But now
I′m just gon' live in my imagination
I′m just gon' sing about my situation
You may think I'm going off at a tangent
But I′m out here building influence
When I say no
Doesn′t mean doesn't mean doesn′t mean I'm psycho
Doesn′t mean doesn't mean doesn′t mean I'm alone
You're damn right I′m unavailable
When I say no
Doesn′t mean doesn't mean doesn′t mean I'm psycho
Doesn′t mean doesn't mean doesn′t mean I'm alone
Don't take it too personal
Why don′t you
Get the hell outta here
Get the hell outta here
Get the hell outta here
Get the hell outta here
Why don′t you
Get the hell outta here
In "Psycho," Kiri T sings about her need for space and how she feels when people don't respect her boundaries. She knows what she wants and doesn't want in her life, and she won't compromise her feelings just to please others. She emphasizes that just because she wants to be alone or cancels plans doesn't mean she's crazy or has any issues. She sings about how she would rather live in her imagination and build her influence than give in to societal pressures to be social and successful in a conventional way. She directs the song towards someone who is trying to change her mind or invade her space, asking them to "get the hell outta here."
The first verse of the song talks about how Kiri T doesn't want to be interrupted while she's listening to music on her EarPods. She also emphasizes that she won't pick up calls or meet someone without an online reservation. In the chorus, she repeats the phrase "When I say no, it doesn’t mean I’m psycho," emphasizing how it's important to respect her boundaries. In the second verse, Kiri T talks about how burnt out she is, and that she doesn't have the energy to meet new people or go out. She sings about how she's content building her influence and fantasizing about living in a mansion than forcing herself to be someone that she's not for others.
Overall, "Psycho" is a song that focuses on the importance of respecting oneself when it comes to setting boundaries. The song highlights that it's okay to prioritize oneself and that one shouldn't be forced to conform to societal standards.
