*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.
The Game
Psyche Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
To lose my way into this game
You were the reason
I gave it all away
Sometimes we may have gone too far
Reached again beyond the sky
Where others hands had fallen
Unlikely stories coming true
No excuses anymore
Invitations we've ignored
Because we'll leave it all behind
Like soldiers we survive
And we keep on playing
Naked in the end of silence
Sometimes just to remain
A desperate cry for understanding
Messages beyond reply
Have I been captured by the game?
Can I be forgiven?
Have you ever been lost before?
Have you ever played the game?
Rules, rules
Didn't want to play this game
The lyrics of Psyche's song "The Game" speak to the inner turmoil of someone who is questioning whether the risks they have taken were worth the reward. The singer has lost their way in a game, which seems to be a metaphor for life, and they are questioning whether they have made the right choices. The lines "Sometimes we may have gone too far, reached again beyond the sky, where others hands had fallen, we dive into the clouds again" suggest that the singer has taken risks that have led them to a place where others have failed. They are beyond the world of those who have played it safe, and they are questioning whether it was worth it.
The lyrics also speak to the feeling of being trapped in a game, with the lines "Have I been captured by the game? Can I be forgiven? Have you ever been lost before? Have you ever played the game?" The singer is questioning whether they are able to break free from the game and whether others have been in the same position as they are. The repeated refrain of "rules, rules, didn't want to play this game" suggests that the singer is resentful of the constraints that have been placed upon them.
Overall, the lyrics of "The Game" are a powerful and thought-provoking commentary on the challenges of navigating life's risks and rewards.
