The fact that they weren't empty brained mutton heads and that they were such great players was probably at the root of the reason they never broke through to a bigger Rock audience. Music, lyrics and arrangements for metalheads with brains and a developed sense of humour was never going to deliver them the biggest market in the world I guess. They were, in fact, nothing like the bands named under 'similar artists'.
Markus Jaan (lead singer) had this to say about Psycore:
The music we make is really hard and dynamic. If Psycore is like a film, it's like 'Blade Runner'. That film has the same elements we have in our music. It has depth, action and it's futuristic. When 'Blade Runner' came out it set standards for its genre, and that's what we aim to do with Psycore.
Psycore disbanded some time after the second album.

Driven
Psycore Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Always wanting more
To regain control is what I live for
I try to break through to the other side
Driven by my pride
I'll never give up
Try to make life stick
On the hook, always look
For the final kick
Always seek the final peak
The final page of the book
I want it all
I'll never give up
Got to break on through
Before my time is coming to an end
The lyrics to Psycore's song "Driven" convey the struggle of trying to fill a void in one's life while chasing after ultimate fulfillment. The singer is always wanting more and seeks to regain control, as he is driven by his pride. He strives to break through to the other side, never giving up on his quest to truly live life to the fullest. The singer describes his search for the "final peak" or ultimate high in life, always seeking the final page of the book. He wants it all and will never give up, as he feels the pressure of time running out.
The lyrics suggest that the singer is grappling with issues related to identity, purpose, and meaning. He is searching for something to satiate a deep hunger, but the lyrics imply that his desires are insatiable. The use of the word "alive" suggests that the singer is searching for something to enliven his soul, to make him feel truly alive. The line "always look for the final kick" implies that the singer is perhaps engaging in risky behavior to achieve that feeling of being alive.
Overall, the lyrics to "Driven" suggest a sense of restlessness and a quest for fulfillment that may be difficult to achieve. The urgency in the final line "Got to break on through before my time is coming to an end" reinforces the idea that time is running out for the singer to find what he is looking for.
