Cover art for Psyche lyrics by Massive Attack

For some reason I hear "cane the wolf" in the beginning of the song instead of "gain the wolf". I like it my way better, because I interpret it as having a double meaning of "Cain, the wolf". Perhaps it's me just looking too deep into the song. :)

Either way, I absolutely love "Psyche". It's one of my all-time favorites from Massive Attack.

@rocktronical I agree that it's "Cane the wolf". Shepards have canes to fend off wolves, they "cane" them to shoo them away from the sheep they protect. So in this song she might be saying she's trying to shoo away some "wolf" in her life, probably a fear/worry/doubt or something along those lines.
