Growing up in the early 90’s & 2000’s pop punk/rock scene, for Taylor Acorn it was never a phase. Hailing from the small North Central Pennsylvania town of Wellsboro, Taylor had always dreamed of a career in music and in 2014, dropped out of Kutztown University to pursue just that, setting her sights for Nashville in 2017.
She first left her mark in the country music world with her 2017 single “Put It In a Song” followed up by an EP she wrote solely on her own, which now garners nearly 30 Million streams on Spotify alone, releasing several singles to follow. However, she never felt at home creating country music and in the midst of the 2020 pandemic went back to her pop punk roots with her cover of “Jamie All Over” on TikTok, sparking the attention of many elder emo fans as well as Mayday Parade themselves. Since then, she has gained the attention of many emo/pop punk bands with her newly rendered versions of their songs.
Covers aren’t the only thing that’s been grasping the attention of fans though. With her infectiously relatable releases of “Do That Again”, "In My Head” and “Shapeshifting”, Taylor is now leaving her own footprint in the pop punk community giving her fans a place to feel safe and to feel heard, by tackling tough subjects such as mental health by sharing her own personal struggles. She wants to give her listeners a space where they can feel free and vulnerable, a place where healing is accepted no matter who you are or where you’ve come from.
Psycho
Taylor Acorn Lyrics

Never been the girl to leave you like 30 miss calls
I′m not a villain but you made me one
So now im throwing knives at pictures of
Your face on the wall
It seems like boys like you all love to say
That chicks like me are just insane
But boys like you give men a shitty name
Where I throw a little brick through your pretty little face
You're easy on the eyes but you′re easier to hate
An angels gonna fall if you come around
If my names still on your tongue then I'll rip it out
Since i'm already the bad guy in your head
I′ll hit you with my car and i′ll leave you for dead
I'll always like the view from the high road
But baby for you i′ll be a psycho
I'll be a psycho
I′ll be a psycho
I'll be a psycho
Maybe you′ll end up in a body bag
If i can't have you then nobody can
Cause I watch all the documentaries
I know just where to hide it
I'll put you in a box six feet deep
And wait till you wake up inside it
It seems like boys like you all love to say
That chicks like me are just insane
But boys like you give men a shitty name
So lets play a game
Where I throw a little brick through your pretty little face
You′re easy on the eyes but
You′re easier to hate
An angels gonna fall if you come around
If my names still on your tongue then I'll rip it out
Since i′m already the bad guy in your head
I'll hit you with my car and i′ll leave you for dead
I'll always like the view from the high road
But baby for you i′ll be a psycho
I'll be a psycho
I'll be a psycho
I′ll be a psycho
I′ve never been one of the crazy ones
I'm not a villain but you make it so damn fun
Where I throw a little brick through your pretty little face
You′re easy on the eyes but you're easier to hate
An angels gonna fall if you come around
If my names still on your tongue then I′ll rip it out
Since i'm already the bad guy in your head
I′ll hit you with my car and i'll leave you for dead
I'll always like the view from the high road
But baby for you i′ll be a psycho
I′ll be a psycho
I'll be a psycho
I′ll be a psycho
I'll be a psycho
The song "Psycho" by Taylor Acorn is about a woman who has been pushed to the brink of insanity by a man who has mistreated her. The first verse establishes that the singer has never been one of the crazy ones and has never been the type to leave 30 missed calls. She goes on to state that she is not a villain, but the man's mistreatment has made her one. She throws knives at pictures of him on the wall, expressing her anger and frustration. The second verse reveals that the singer has done her research and knows where to hide a body. It seems that she is contemplating murder if she can't have him.
The chorus is where the singer really lets loose. She talks about throwing a brick at his pretty little face and how he's easy on the eyes but easier to hate. She says that an angel will fall if he comes around and threatens to rip his name off her tongue if he's still on it. The singer also talks about hitting him with her car and leaving him for dead. However, she acknowledges that she usually takes the high road, but for him, she'll be a psycho.
Overall, the song "Psycho" is a warning to any man who would mistreat a woman. It is clear that the singer has been pushed to the brink of insanity by a man, and while she may not actually kill him, her anger and frustration are palpable.
