about

"INSANE!" is more than just a song; it is a raw and visceral exploration of the inner turmoil we all can face. The lyrics dive into the struggles of breaking free from self-imposed limitations and societal expectations. It is a testament to the power of music to articulate the complexities of the human experience and condition.

lyrics

VERSE 1
I’ve found myself in a rut,
I can’t shake.
Keep on making mistakes,
need to pump down my breaks.
I try to change,
but it feels all too strange.
Don’t wanna rearrange,
what has been in my brain.

VERSE 2
Displease, unease,
on a Sunday morning.
Tryna chill, smoke a J,
it’s my sweet remedy.

It’s how I cope,
you say stop with the dope.
I won’t stop with the dope,
I rather choke!

CHORUS
You say I’m insane,
but I say it’s the pain.
Can’t help what’s been ingrained,
I’m saying that I have been chained!
You say I’m insane,
but I say it’s the strain.
Can’t help what’s been ingrained,
I’m saying that I have been chained!

VERSE 3
Can’t help myself,
don’t need anyone else.
Leave me to my own self,
don’t need anyone’s help.

My soul’s already lost…
Just hang me on a cross…
So I go out like a boss…
I say hang me on a cross!

CHORUS
You say I’m insane,
but I say it’s the pain.
Can’t help what’s been ingrained,
I’m saying that I have been chained!
You say I’m insane,
but I say it’s the strain.
Can’t help what’s been ingrained,
I’m saying that I have been chained!

BRIDGE
Just please leave me,
leave me alone to bleed.
Will not stop til I’m free,
and it’s all just a dream.

Don’t knock,
nobody's home.
Don’t call,
I won’t pick up the phone.
Just stop,
please leave me all alone.
Don’t knock man,
nobody's home!

CHORUS
You say I’m insane,
but I say it’s the pain.
Can’t help what’s been ingrained,
I’m saying that I have been chained!
You say I’m insane,
but I say it’s the strain.
Can’t help what’s been ingrained…
