High Kick Psychic
Unraveling the Psyche: White House Down's 'High Kick Psychic' Meaning Revealed
Lyrics
Well, I sit and wait as I call the news
Expressing anticipation while staying informed through the news.
That I might paint my face a kind of blue
Contemplating a mood change symbolized by painting one's face blue.
And I bet myself that I needn't choose
Speculating on the unnecessary choices one might face.
If I come by every weekend
Committing to a routine of visiting every weekend.
Singing the same old song
Singing a repetitive, familiar song during the visits.
I choose
Making a personal choice amid archetypal experiences.
To stumble archetypal avenues
Choosing unconventional paths while expressing frustration with art and the game of life.
As I damn the art and I damn the game
Conveying a continued commitment to the weekend visits despite frustrations.
But I'd still come by every weekend
Reiterating the dedication to the routine.
To take myself off the page
Removing oneself from societal expectations or norms.
I'm claiming affectations I don't deem to be mine
Admitting to adopting behaviors not genuinely one's own.
Some fate or divine
Questioning the role of fate or divine forces in one's life.
For all I care you know as well
Expressing indifference to external opinions or knowledge.
As I do
Asserting self-awareness and shared understanding.
Misfortune gifts another afternoon
Facing misfortune and enduring its consequences.
And the hand that takes never even moves
Highlighting a passive hand that doesn't act despite taking.
Then they say that a month's the new weekend
Commenting on the accelerated pace of time, comparing a month to a weekend.
Well that's a game two can play
Acknowledging a shared game with consequences.
We're all ashamed and unstable
Expressing collective shame and instability in a consumerist society.
And living in department stores
Describing a sense of wrongness in living conditions.
It's all wrong
Admitting an inability to resist falling into the wrong.
But I can't help but fall
Expressing attraction despite recognizing the mistake.
Another simple pleasure to take me off my mind
Seeking simple pleasures as a distraction.
Faking human nature to alleviate mine
Faking human nature to cope with personal struggles.
I know you said I had it but I don't think I can love
Doubting the ability to love despite assurances.
Another fabrication
Acknowledging the presence of fabricated elements in life.
Another simple pleasure to take me off my mind
Repeating the pursuit of simple pleasures as a coping mechanism.
Faking human nature to alleviate mine
Continuing to fake human nature to alleviate personal burdens.
I know you said I had it but I don't think I can love
Reiterating doubt about the capacity for love.
Another fabrication
Acknowledging the repetition of fabrications in one's life.
