Universe
Psyche Corporation Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Knock knock knock
Universe
Why haven't you returned my calls?
I think it's
Impolite
To keep the Shadow Queen in such suspense
I told you I don't want to fight
I only want to be in your good graces
I used to hold the aces
To all your games
Did you think you were so hard to tame?
(Trust me I won't make the same mistake)

Maybe once upon a time
I told you that I would be nice
Don't be coy dear
I lied
You're mine
I made you
And I can break you
Too.

(Don't be a fool you know that I make the rules
And if you're hoping for mercy
I'm the wrong kind of God
You can plead, you can fall to your knees
For eternity
You won't sway me
You have betrayed me)

Pardon my
Rather poisonous turn of phrase
I just want you to know
This time you have no place to hide
I'll sear my name on every star
So you'll remember what you are

You came from my imagination
Sorcery and inclination
To design a work of art
A plane superior
'cause the place from whence I came was inferior.

(I have survived the stuff of nightmares and I
Don't think you quite understand
That you are mine to demand
I'm already inside of your mind
I'll swallow down your will in mine)

Ma cherie
Battit ses ailes
S'envoler elle
Ne peut jamais

Ah mon coeur
Abandonnes-toi moi,
La reine de l'ombre

Now your charms are all undone
Dissolution has begun
Come back soon before you're gone
You have been warned!

(Chorus2)

(Chorus1)





Don't make me break you.

Overall Meaning

The song "Universe" by Psyche Corporation is a dark and powerful piece that speaks about the need for control and conquest. The singer of the song, who refers to themselves as the "Shadow Queen," is addressing the Universe and expressing frustration at the lack of response to their calls. The Shadow Queen considers it impolite to keep her waiting and wants to be in the good graces of the Universe. She states that she does not want to fight, but she used to hold the power in the games the Universe played, and she questions whether the Universe thought it was too hard to tame her. The Shadow Queen declares that she will not make the same mistake, and she will not be played for a fool again.


The Shadow Queen reveals that she created the Universe from her imagination, using sorcery and inclination to design a work of art. She considers the Universe to be a plane superior to her own origin, which she deems inferior. However, the Shadow Queen now declares that the Universe is hers to demand, and she will not be swayed by pleading and kneeling. She warns the Universe that it has betrayed her, and she will not hesitate to break it if necessary.
