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.
Unbreakable
Psyche Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I know I can't help what I've heard
There's sign over my grave
Never understand a word
It could be you
Up against the wall
Know you're not unbreakable
These are the chains holding me back
The sound is ringing from satellites
It's just a pressure in my heart
Sleeping on unknown floors
No time to reconcile
Going to have to follow you down
Follow you down
It just keeps on happening
It could be you
Up against the wall
Know you're not unbreakable
Say goodbye tomorrow
The song "Unbreakable" by Psyche speaks about desperation, feeling trapped, and the urge to follow someone blindly, even if it means going down an unknown path. The first verse starts by expressing the feeling of being out of control when the desperation begins to grow inside. Despite knowing that listening to certain things can be unhealthy, it's too late as it's already been heard. There is confusion and a sense of inevitability, hence the reference to the sign over the grave, indicating that one is stuck with the consequences of their choices. The last line of the verse "Never understand a word" could indicate that one is taking a risk without comprehending its entire consequences.
In the second verse, the songwriters mention the sound of satellites, pressure in the heart, and sleeping on unknown floors, which are all stressful or disturbing elements. The phrase "No time to reconcile" could demonstrate that there's no way to resolve or come to terms with it. The chorus highlights the idea of the vulnerability of the person, of being up against the wall, and the need to realize that it's possible to be destroyed, no matter how strong we are at first. The lyrics, "Say goodbye tomorrow implies that it may be too late tomorrow and serves as a warning to act before it's too late.
