*Note:
In the early 90s, the name Psyche was also used as an alias of Detroit techno artist Carl Craig. Under this early pseudonym the legendary Detroit based techno producer released a few 12"s on Transmat - later compiled onto 'Elements', alongside other material written under his BFC alias, and released on Craig's own Planet E label.
Also, a short lived west coast Scottish new wave/rock band called Psyche released a 7" single in 1982.
Eternal
Psyche Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The moment I remember my crime
Regret my anger avenue
The night wakes me to the day
My heart is dying
Things will never be the same
But I add fuel to the fire
As it burns desire
And razor sharp the pain
Uncertain presence close my eyes
Save me from eternal sight
Broken words permeate the room
Let the moment never fade away
My heart is dying
Things will never be the same
But I add fuel to the fire
As it burns desire
We become eternal flame
And razor sharp the pain
Uncover all the hidden lies
Imagine we're stars in the sky
In Psyche's song "Eternal," the lyrics express the singer’s deep sense of remorse and pain for a past mistake. The blue mist signifies a ruminative and nostalgic journey into the past when the singer feels regret for their past behavior. The singer remembers their crime that happened in the past and feels ashamed of their violent behavior. The night symbolizes the agony and heartache that the singer experiences as they reflect on the consequences of their actions. The singer's heart is dying, and they realize that things will never be the same. They add 'fuel to the fire' as they acknowledge their desire and passion for their love interest despite the pain it brings. Despite the intensity of their emotions, the pain remains 'razor sharp,' indicating that the heartache runs deep.
The second verse of the song reveals the singer's present state of uncertainty and fear. They long for someone to save them from their eternal sight, which represents their inability to overcome the memory of their past actions. They also express their desire for the moment to 'never fade away', indicating their fear of losing the person they love. The pain and agony are still evident in the second verse, as the singer's heart continues to die.
Overall, Psyche's "Eternal" is a haunting and moving song about the lasting impact of regret and the long-lasting pain it brings. The song expresses an honest and vulnerable understanding of the things that people do for love and the irreversible consequences that follow.

Blue mist echoes to my past
Thinking back to my past with a hint of uncertainty
The moment I remember my crime
I remember the wrongdoing I committed
Regret my anger avenue
I regret acting out of anger
The night wakes me to the day
The darkness enlightens how I see things
My heart is dying
I am in emotional pain
Things will never be the same
The situation is irreversible
But I add fuel to the fire
I make it worse
As it burns desire
The fire represents the passion and desire that still exists
We become eternal flame
Our connection endures despite the situation
And razor sharp the pain
The pain is intense and precise
Uncertain presence close my eyes
I am afraid of what is happening
Save me from eternal sight
I do not wish to see forever
Broken words permeate the room
The situation is tense and emotional
Let the moment never fade away
I hope that this moment lasts
Uncover all the hidden lies
I want the truth to be revealed
Imagine we're stars in the sky
Let's pretend we are something beautiful and unattainable

If you ask me this is one of the best songs from 80's , not just in so called "underground" Psyche should be much biger band. Criminally underrated. I used to played this in my dj sets in late 90's but so little people know Psyche stuff here in Croatia, too shame, you are the best!!

A classic song that will forever influence me and electronic producers to come. Canada should be so lucky we have so much talent.

Psyche is an Amazing Group! Only the 80's could be responsible for such talents!
