Psycho Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Into the bottom I will go
I feel the daylight choking
Into the vile I become
I am forever changing

[Chorus]
In the cold eternal light
I am the ember fading
Every scar we try to hide
I am the fake you made me

[Verse 2]
Into the hollow I let go
I see the darkness closing
Into the silence I become
I am the faith forsaking

[Chorus]
In the cold eternal light
I am the ember fading
Every scar we try to hide
I am the fake you made me
Psycho, let go
I am the warm embracing
Psycho, faithful
I am the rupture breaking

[Chorus]
In the cold eternal light
I am the ember fading
Every scar we try to hide
I am the fake you make me
Psycho, let go
I am the warm embracing
Psycho, faithful
I am the rupture breaking

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

Great song, probably my favorite from the new album.

I think the song is about a person changing. Turning into someone else, due to his psychological problems and the world around him.changes.

"Psycho, let go I am the one embracing"

He's accepting that he's changing as a person and is letting go of his past.

I feel the song is about the speaker accepting terms with themselves and giving in to their flaws and dark side. The speaker is letting the light inside them die and is allowing themselves to be consumed by the dark. “I am the daylight choking” and “I am the ember fading” could be seen as the person saying that the are relinquishing their good qualities and accepting their flaws. The “Psycho” being referred to could be an external or inter personality that is holding on to the speaker’s good nature. “Psycho, let go” the speaker is telling this entity to give up hope on the speaker and to hold on to hope for the speaker is crazy or “Psycho “
