Psychobabble

The Alan Parsons Project

Tell you 'bout a dream that I have every night
Tell you 'bout a Dream that I have every night
It ain't kodachrome and it isn't black and white
Take me for a fool if you feel that's right
Well I'm Never on my own but there's nobody in sight

I don't know if I'm scared of the Lightning
Trying to reach me
I can't turn to the left or the right
I'm too scared to run and I'm too weak to fight
But I don't Care it's all psychobabble rap to me

Tell you 'bout a dream that I have every night
It's in dolby stereo but I never hear it right
Take me for a fool well that's alright
Well I see the way to go But there isn't any light

I don't know why I'm scared of the lightning
Trying to reach me
Help me to find what I don't wanna know
You're taking me There but I don't wanna go
I don't care it's all Psychobabble rap to me
Psychobabble all psychobabble
Psychobabble all psychobabble
I don't care it's all psychobabble rap to me

You're readin' my mind you won't look in my eyes
You say I do things that I don't Realise
But I don't care it's all psychobabble rap to me
Psychobabble all psychobabble
Psychobabble all psychobabble
You're lighting a scene that's faded to black
I threw it away cause I don't want it back
But I don't care it's all psychbabble rap

    Song Meaning
    This song is about the denial felt by someone struggling with mental illness or problems other major problems which are apparent to everyone else but that they dismiss. "You're readin' my mind you won't look in my eyes You say I do things that I don't realize" Another song on the album, Eye in the Sky, also talks about mind reading. I think this is the alternate viewpoint of the girlfriend (let's say) who's mixed up and confused, being analyzed and told exactly what's wrong with her by her boyfriend (who's rejected her) and maybe her psychologist. Everyone else can see right through her but when anyone actually tries to help her by expliaining what's wrong, all she hears is "psychobabble rap" which doesn't connect to her own self-image, and thus is completely useless and unconstructive.
