Psychotic Lyrics

Lyric discussion by Kingofstilport 

Cover art for Psychotic lyrics by Machine Head

This one's pretty simple; it's about mental illness and the feeling of you losing your sanity at any moment. It paints a pretty blunt picture of mental distress, self-destructive tendencies, and the desperate plea for relief from your emotional turmoil. The feeling of being stuck in a straitjacket, it mentions, is a metaphor of the confinement and lack of freedom to escape from your own thoughts.
