Shouted Hopes And Hushed Apologies

Sauna Youth “Psi Girls”

The words to “Psi Girls” get a bit buried in the mix under the chugging riffs and “la las”, but the singer does his best to get them across, which illustrates the point of the lyrics, in which he expresses frustration in his “inability to communicate” with his partner. But it’s not on a one-way thing: They both struggle with this, and in some way, they’ve bonded over this shared problem. He sounds eager to fix the problem, but also a bit exasperated by the way they’ve found work-arounds for this inarticulate state. He never says it outright, but the title suggests they’ve developed some primitive sort of telepathy, if just through the power of their intimacy.
