Psychopath 03:50
Call it a night at the first sign of light Stumbling home through the dark Hope in our veins cause we skipped the cocaine Kiss me in treptower park And god it’s divine with your lips touching mine A feeling that i never knew So i smile right back like i’m some psychopath I’d give anything just to love you I cry into the picture we drew Feel nothing at all but my god I want to You know it’s true that nothing you do Makes me feel alive like when i’m losing you So tell me darling where’s the applause I bent backwards for you was it just a lost cause Will we make it through Can i still choose you Slowly became the last ones on the train Wheels go on clicking below Flowers in hand yeah the gesture feels grand Hard to believe you don’t know In seven days time you’ll have made up your mind Soon you’ll be letting me go And i couldn’t see oh my god what is wrong with me Smiling like part of the show I cry into the picture we drew Feel nothing at all but my god I want to You know it’s true that nothing you do Makes me feel alive like when i’m losing you So tell me darling where’s the applause I bent backwards for you was it just a lost cause Will we make it through Can i still choose you god it’s divine with your lips touching mine A feeling that i never knew So i smile right back like i’m some psychopath I’d give anything just to love you I cry into the picture we drew Feel nothing at all but my god I want to You know it’s true that nothing you do Makes me feel alive like when i’m losing you

about

'Psychopath' is Emina Sonnad's 6th release of 2021, and the first with At Swim Music.

While blending elements of folk, country, dream pop and classic American songwriting with her lullaby-like vocals, Emina subverts all that sweetness with the directness and emotional depth of her lyrics. At times wry and world-wise, at others childlike in her honesty and emotional expression, Emina has the rare ability to tell a complex story in the form of a simple song.

Emina describes what 'Psychopath' means to her:

"The short answer is that it's about how trauma can make us feel numb to our emotions. Sometimes we lie to ourselves about the pain and anger we have been carrying in our relationships, and this song takes us on a bit of a chaotic journey to reclaim those feelings. It's technically a breakup song but it's less about grieving the loss of a person and more about grieving the parts of us that the person took away. Writing this song really helped me process a difficult time, and I hope that others can find something in it that will help them in a similar situation."
