Frontman Dylan Baldi explained the song's meaning to to Cleveland Scene: "I have a tendency to overthink stuff if I have too long to think about it," he said. "I don't want to do that. I want to be able to move through things and not always ruminate on them. That song is about dealing with that."
Baldi expanded on the song's meaning to Spin magazine: "I really can't think about things too much," he said. "I write down little statements. The next day I make them into lyrics. I try to figure out what they mean later. 'Psychic Trauma' is about that, actually. I'm a super-anxious person. I over-think everything to the point where I'm terrified to do anything, you know? It's something I don't really like. It's something to fix."
