Psyche
Sir Alice Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You're feeling like you want to go home
You're feeling unfinished but you keep on going
The reason is there
You'll be falling 'til your feet are gone
Because your living a hoax
Sell us what you suss
Draw your brain, a sick inspiration
Your pill illusion
And then you follow a transfer
If you don't know the game
Then you're still part of it
Because out on the streets
It's strange
Dodge the bullet or carry the gun
The choice is yours
Yeah, yeah!
Look at the controller
A nazi with a social degree
A middle-class hero
Rapist with your eyes on me
You pay some masturbation
A priest cheers for the nuns you fuck
You'd wipe out spastics if you had the chance
But Jesus, Jesus
Jesus wouldn't like it, no
Jesus wouldn't like it, no
The song "Psyche" by Sir Alice includes thought-provoking lyrics that delve into the inner turmoil of an individual who feels lost and alone in society. The lines "You're alone in the pack, You're feeling like you want to go home" portray a sense of loneliness and disconnection from the world. The person feels unfinished and incomplete but persists in their journey. The lyrics suggest that they are living a lie, selling others what they perceive to be the truth, all while falling deeper into deception.
The song also highlights the idea of conforming to societal norms and expectations. The line "If you don't know the game, Then you're still part of it" conveys that everyone is part of the game of life, whether they realize it or not. It is crucial to be aware of the rules of the game to succeed. The lyrics indicate that the streets are strange and unpredictable, requiring one to dodge the bullet or carry the gun. The choice is yours, suggesting that we are responsible for our choices and actions.
Sir Alice's lyrics also take a dig at the hypocrisy of those in power, as seen in the lines "Look at the controller, A Nazi with a social degree, A middle-class hero, Rapist with your eyes on me." The song describes the exploitation of the vulnerable by the privileged and powerful. The lyrics suggest that some are willing to do anything to satisfy their desires, including committing heinous acts against others. However, the singer reminds the listener that even though one may escape legal retribution, their actions will always be judged by a higher power.
