Psycho le Cému Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The voice of the reaper's helper is heard.
The scattered recollection, and my emptiness--
If you contain aid in those hands, please, crush it.
You'll cause everything to end with those hands, and submerge me.
Lead falls and pelt this body, quaking.
In the lucid darkness, hungering--
If you contain days far off in those hands, please, ruin yourself.
You'll cause everything to end with those hands, and submerge me.
Reality is thrusted into my body which festered--
If you contain agony in those hands
If you contain anger in those hands
If you contain tragedy in those hands how about smashing those things?
If your eyes tell me everything, I'll let you know the day we part.
The lyrics of Psycho le Cému's song NEO depict a sense of emptiness and despair in the face of a foreboding future. The theme of hands is recurrent throughout the lyrics, with the singer imploring whoever possesses certain things in their hands to either crush or ruin them, indicating a desire to end everything, including themselves. The imagery of ominous clouds and lead falling suggests a sense of foreboding and danger, almost as if the singer is accepting their fate.
The chorus of the song suggests a willingness to let go of pain and suffering, with the singer imploring whoever possesses those emotions in their hands to smash them. It is almost as if the singer is pleading with their own subconscious to let go of the negativity that is holding them back. The final lines of the song suggest that the singer may be waiting for someone to read their emotions and understand their pain, indicating a longing for connection and empathy.
