Cover art for Psyche lyrics by Massive Attack

This may be just me, but from what I take from this song, I feel like shes singing about a love that's engrossed in being someone else (either to keep others happy or whatnot) and it seems to be tearing him apart. "Quench abuse and let love flower, Rip the cage out of your chest, Let the chaos fool the rest" She knows the real him is buried somewhere deep inside of him. She helps search for that part of him "I'm looking for you in the woods tonight, I'm looking, Looking for you with my flashlight, I'm searching From in the high or down the ocean And I pace myself in racing" and shes telling him that she's always there to be his protective shield "And when you call I'll be a shield for life, And if you feel it you will fly" while he does. All she wants is for him to let it all go and find himself so they can be together, just the two of them.

Either way, I really love this song a lot. :)

My Interpretation

*edit I was also agreeing with Bloodmuffin's lyric post, which was what I felt I was hearing, Im not sure if its correct or not but I like to think so :)

That's a wonderful interpretation, Kalika.
