Dear Insanity
Asking Alexandria. Lyrics

Oh sweet insanity
Addressing insanity in a sweet tone, acknowledging its presence in the singer's life.

You take my hand and walk me out into the dark
Insanity leads the singer into the unknown, into darkness.

We walk this road for hours and hours
Together, insanity and the singer walk a long path towards something unknown.

To the white hills, and the oceans
The destination of their journey is to places of purity and danger, symbolizing the ups and downs of life.

On a collision course, to hell we march
The relationship between the artist and insanity is doomed and destructive, leading to a negative outcome.

We're doomed to this now
Acknowledging resignation to their fate of being bound together.

Oh the irony
Noting the ironic situation of the singer acknowledging their doomed fate but not wanting to stay down alone.

If I'm going down I won't go down alone
Rather than facing their fate alone, the artist would rather go down together than to stay alone.

You're doomed to this one
Addressing the reader, the artist reminds them about their fate of being tied to insanity.

Hold your breath my dear
As they prepare to plunge into the unknown, the artist wants the reader to be ready and brace themselves for what's to come.

We're going under
They are committing to the plunge, taking the first step.

I've walk this road for hours
The artist has been on this path for a while, aware of the perils and dangers along the way.

I search for solace in this toxic land of sin
Desperately searching for peace in a place of chaos and destruction.

Just let me in
The singer wants to find refuge and a safe haven, looking for acceptance from the unknown.

Their songs are soothing
The singer has found comfort in the music, using it as an escape from the harsh reality they face.

Their wine subdues me
The artist has found comfort in the wine as well, using it as a way to ease the burden of the journey.

Dreams, my mind won't lift me from my dreams
The artist is trapped in their own mind, unable to escape from their own thoughts.

And though I try I can't escape my mind
Despite their best efforts, the singer cannot escape from their own mind and is trapped within themselves.

And though you try you can't escape me
Addressing the reader, the singer reveals the hold that insanity has over them and how it cannot be escaped.

Now you've seen what I've become
The artist acknowledges that their relationship with insanity has changed them, revealing themselves to the reader.

Now you've seen what I can do
The artist reveals the potential danger that they possess, alluding to the negative outcomes that may arise.

Now you've seen what I'm capable of
Stressing the idea that the artist has the ability to succumb to the unknown, revealing the dread that accompanies it.

Welcome to the diary of a man that lost his mind so long ago
Opening the diary to the reader, the singer reveals their personal thoughts and memories that led them to their current state of mind.

Welcome to the shell of a man with a heart so black and cold
The artist has undergone significant changes, turning into someone who is empty and removed from life itself.

Over and over in my head
The singer keeps repeating these thoughts unknowingly, trapped within their own thoughts.
