Certainly, if the lyrics were blood and gore and pain and fear, it'd be harder to really enjoy the song. But the tone is more nebulous, evoking emotional responses that perhaps we can identify with without having to embrace any real darkness ourselves: "We are vain and we are blind, I hate people when they're not polite. Sometimes some things just hit you the right way. Some make you laugh, some make you clap your hands, stomp your feet. Some make you smile, some make you feel sad, and others pluck something inside you that isn't so well defined, that's still emotional, still reflexive, but isn't easy to describe.
And that's the case for me with "Psycho Killer. Music is magic. Music liberates, it inspires, it comforts and it consoles. And I guess it even helps us appreciate monsters just a little bit, too. The Talking Heads seems to be one of those acts that so seldom pop into the spotlight when great bands are discussed, but the originality, the unusual textures, the way they could get you to move without you being consciously aware of it, wow.

That's a can of worms you do not want to open. Just ask Edward Snowden. Crippled Pilgrim Agreed. I'm just wondering who is claiming or disagreeing with the fact that this song is obviously punk? General Comment Here's a little trivia for you.
Patrick Bateman, the main character in the film and novel American Psycho states in the book not in the movie version that The Talking Heads is his favorite band, no doubt an allusion to this song. David Byrne is trying to project. In the book, Silence of the Lambs, Hannibal makes Agent Starling almost comfortable, like she can trust him. He acts like a gentleman, but we all know the horror that he is able to unleash.
David Byrd is Pretty much conveying this message in Psycho Killer, as long as you look at this song in the exclusively literal sense. Hydra2 on April 24, Link. Hydra2 David who? General Comment The song is about a generic serial killer. He's trying to impress you with the French. That's what Byrne said.
GTKarber on December 22, Link. General Comment In my opinion he's simply talking to himself It sounds appropiately neurotic and it's a way to demonstrate why he can't interact with other people normally and a self-criticism He's bashing himself, accumulating rage, which explodes on the chorus and the French-sung part.
Santiagof on December 24, Link. General Comment On the live version of the song the lyrics change. Original: "You start a conversation you can't even finish it You're talkin' a lot, but you're not sayin' anything When I have nothing to say, my lips are sealed Say something once, why say it again? General Comment I think this song is about how our daily stress can turn us into psycho killers, but only in our imagination. Have you ever imagine yourself killing someone that really pisses you off?
Or felt so bad about a lot of things that you can't sleep and that if someone dare to touch you they'd better run away? I think everyone is a potencial psycho killer and that's what this song means to me lucasemg on July 29, Link.
General Comment Talking heads is generally classified as post-punk Big difference.
