Relating To A Psychopath
Macy Gray Lyrics

Hot like hot wings with hot chocolate in hell
I feel like I'm in a place that is burning hot and painful, but at the same time, I'm experiencing some pleasurable sensation.

Cold like in my isolation cell
I feel very lonely and disconnected from the world like being locked up in a jail cell.

In the winter while kissing Mr Freeze
Even though everything is cold and lifeless around us, we try to find warmth and passion through physical intimacy.

Take the weather man and blow him away
I wish I had control over the elements of nature, and I could make them behave as per my will.

Love is a desert and I need it to rain
I'm craving for love and affection, but it's as scarce as rain in a desert for me.

You are so good at keeping me company
I appreciate your being with me and accompanying me during my good and bad times.

You are relating to a psychopath
I suspect that you might share some personality traits with a psychopath, which worries me.

Your role model is in therapy
The person you look up to as your idol is currently undergoing psychological treatment due to their issues.

You must be real far gone
I'm afraid your mental state might have deteriorated beyond repair for you to relate to a psychopath.

Noah's elephants are leaving the ark in eights
It feels like everything around me is moving in slow motion, even the animals are marching out of a boat in a specific pattern.

During the upside of my manic depressive state
I'm referring to a phase when I'm feeling unusually euphoric and invincible, which is characteristic of manic-depressive disorder.

Crickets sing in three-part harmony
It seems like even the insects in nature are resonating with each other and creating a harmonious melody.

I try to walk away I choke and I stumble
I want to leave or escape from something that's hurting me, but I'm finding it hard to do so.

I'm flying back so listen close when I mumble
Whenever I seem to be making progress or getting away, I end up relapsing and falling back again.

It never adds up when you do your math
I'm perplexed and confused about your motivations and actions since they don't seem to make logical sense to me.

Yes, I'm real far gone
Admitting that my mental state has deteriorated to the point of beyond repair or return.

Medication is slow
The effects of the medication I take to manage my condition are slow to kick in, and I need to be patient.

And it's when it kicks in that why mind chooses to go
Ironically, as soon as the medication starts working, I feel like I'm losing control of my mind and emotions.

My feel better begins
I start feeling a sense of relief and comfort once my medication starts working.

Just when I get attached, it ends
I become emotionally attached to people or things and then suddenly lose them, causing emotional distress.

I'm insane, so I remain a psycho
I acknowledge that I might be suffering from insanity or mental illness, and I'm embracing it as a part of myself.

Cartoon figures dance in my head
I'm hallucinating and seeing imaginary characters or scenes in my mind that are not present in reality.

I said, love is butter won't you be my bread
I'm trying to woo or persuade someone to be my partner or companion by using a creative or poetic metaphor.
