I got Id

So, the other day on Sirius radio there was a commercial about people talking about there favorite songs. And this girl said she likes( I got Id.)I always thought the title was pronounced like (I got I.D.) like identification? I've heard it called ( I got shit) too. So, what's the right one?

    It is I got ID, as in the Freud term. Although, it is commonly called " I got shit" by us on here, as that is what Ed says in the lyrics. I personally believe the song is about unrequited love or infatuation for someone. Thus, the word "shit" is not allowed on the radio during broad casting or in recordings, so the band might have also put ID on the cover as well and also so the DJ could announce the song name on air.

    Id, ego and super-ego
    From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

    Id, ego, and super-ego are the three parts of the psychic apparatus defined in Sigmund Freud's structural model of the psyche; they are the three theoretical constructs in terms of whose activity and interaction our mental life is described. According to this model of the psyche, the id is the set of uncoordinated instinctual trends; the super-ego plays the critical and moralizing role; and the ego is the organized, realistic part that mediates between the desires of the id and the super-ego.[1] The super-ego can stop one from doing certain things that one's id may want to do.[2]

    Id[edit]
    The id (Latin for "it",[4] German: Es)[5] is the disorganized part of the personality structure that contains a human's basic, instinctual drives. Id is the only component of personality that is present from birth.[6] It is the source of our bodily needs, wants, desires, and impulses, particularly our sexual and aggressive drives. The id contains the libido, which is the primary source of instinctual force that is unresponsive to the demands of reality.[7] The id acts according to the "pleasure principle"—the psychic force that motivates the tendency to seek immediate gratification of any impulse[8]—defined as seeking to avoid pain or unpleasure (not 'displeasure') aroused by increases in instinctual tension.[9] According to Freud the id is unconscious by definition:

    It is the dark, inaccessible part of our personality, what little we know of it we have learned from our study of the dreamwork and of course the construction of neurotic symptoms, and most of that is of a negative character and can be described only as a contrast to the ego. We approach the id with analogies: we call it a chaos, a cauldron full of seething excitations. ... It is filled with energy reaching it from the instincts, but it has no organization, produces no collective will, but only a striving to bring about the satisfaction of the instinctual needs subject to the observance of the pleasure principle.[10]
