Starfucker Love
Psychotica Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Did it three times but I couldn't get it right
Screamed really loud and started to ignite
But I ate the cat and I couldn't get it right, yeah
I took the cat and tied it with a rope
Thought it might bring me a little bit of hope
Tried to unwind with a spoonful of dope
Yes I
So all of the massive for if you hold up your hands say
I took the cat and beat it with a stick
Then it wouldn't move so I gave it a kick
Tried to put it in but it made me really sick
I took the cat and beat it with a stick
And love, we're so in love
Alien love, love, love
We're so in love, starfucker love
Alien love, love, love
Yes I
So all of the massive for if you hold up your hands say
Love, we're so in love
Alien love, love, love
We're so in love, starfucker love
Alien love, love, love
Yes I
So all of the massive for if you hold up your hands say
Yes I
So all of the massive for if you hold up your hands say

Interpretation:
The lyrics of "Starfucker Love" by Psychotica are intentionally obscure and seemingly nonsensical. However, one possible interpretation is that they are an expression of the singer's erratic and disturbing behavior, possibly indicative of mental illness or drug addiction. The repeated references to eating and abusing a cat suggest a lack of empathy and a willingness to engage in cruel or violent acts. The phrases "alien love" and "starfucker love" could be interpreted as a desire to connect with something otherworldly or glamorous, as well as a sense of detachment from the world and its norms.
The use of a repetitive chorus and shouted interjections ("Yes I! So all of the massive...") creates a sense of urgency and chaos, and reinforces the idea that the singer is struggling to control their impulses and emotions. The distorted, industrial sound of the music adds to the overall sense of disorientation and disjointedness.
Overall, the lyrics of "Starfucker Love" are unsettling and hard to decipher, but convey a sense of alienation and emotional turmoil.
