Psycho
Vanilla Ninja Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
All I know is I'm too tired
Can't find the strength in me
To put up with your suspicions
All the crap you're telling me
In those mails you're sending me
You claim that I'm a cheater
And that I do not deserve you
Then soon I won't be near you
So just keep that in mind
That although you look damn fine
You don't rule my world
I'm an independet girl
[Ref:]
There is a psycho
Hidden under
Underneath your skin
Is it forbidden for me
To deal with my own things
There is a problem for you
If you keep harassing me
It's time you realized that there
Is a psycho in your skin
Keep calling up my friends
To make sure that I am with theam
Do I need to remind you that
I already have a mother
You're a master in disquise
Hoping I won't recognise
That you're everywhere I go
You don't really trust my a bit
The situation makes me mad
I'm giving you my final warning
I am a crazy girl
And to get on my nerves
Is a risky thing
Now hear what I sing
[Ref]
The lyrics of Vanilla Ninja's song "Psycho" explore the dynamics of a dysfunctional relationship in which one partner, presumably the male, is constantly suspicious and controlling of the other, who is portrayed as a strong, independent woman. The opening lines of the song reveal the exhaustion and frustration of the female protagonist as she wakes up every day feeling drained and unable to cope with the constant accusations and suspicions from her partner, who sends her countless emails accusing her of being unfaithful. The woman tries to assert her independence and autonomy by warning the man that his behavior is becoming intolerable and that she will not stick around if it continues.
The chorus of the song hones in on the central conflict between the two partners, highlighting the fact that there is a "psycho" lurking beneath the surface of the man's personality. Although he tries to mask this aspect of himself and control his partner's behavior, eventually it will come to light and cause problems for both of them. The woman asserts that she has her own life and her own issues to work through, and she cannot be held responsible for her boyfriend's paranoia and mistrust. She threatens to leave him if he does not stop trying to control her and ultimately emerges as the stronger, more self-assured character in the song.
