Dear Insanity
Asking Alexandria Lyrics

Oh sweet insanity
The singer is acknowledging the allure and attraction of insanity.

You take my hand and walk me out into the dark
Insanity takes control of the singer and leads them into darkness and uncertainty.

We walk this road for hours and hours
The journey into insanity is not a quick one; it's a long and enduring path.

To the white hills, and the oceans
The journey involves exploring and facing various landscapes and emotions, from light to dark, from calm to turbulent.

On a collision course, to hell we march
The artist has accepted the final destination of this journey as being hell, and is moving towards it with determination.

We're doomed to this now
The singer and insanity are now intertwined, and there is no turning back from this fate.

Oh the irony
It is ironic or contradictory that the singer finds comfort and safety in their insanity, which should be a source of affliction and chaos.

If I'm going down I won't go down alone
The artist is willing to embrace their insanity and not let it take them down without a fight.

You're doomed to this one
The artist is encouraging their insanity to embrace and accept its fate alongside them.

Hold your breath my dear
The artist is urging their insanity to brace itself for what lies ahead on this journey.

We're going under
The singer and insanity are willingly and knowingly descending into darkness and chaos.

I've walk this road for hours
The artist has been on this journey for some time and has faced multiple challenges along the way.

I search for solace in this toxic land of sin
The singer is trying to find comfort and peace within the turmoil and chaos of their insanity.

Just let me in
The singer is pleading for their insanity to let them fully embrace and accept their madness.

Don't wake me up, their songs are soothing
The singer is finding comfort in the dangerous and harmful lies they tell themselves to maintain their insanity.

Their wine subdues me
The illusion of safety provided by the lies and fantasies allows the artist to momentarily forget the reality of their situation.

Dreams, my mind won't lift me from my dreams
The artist is trapped in their own mind and unable to escape the illusions and fantasies that sustain their insanity.

And though I try I can't escape my mind
The singer is acknowledging their own struggle to break free from the grip of their insanity, but is ultimately unable to do so.

And though you try you can't escape me
The singer is addressing their own insanity, acknowledging that it is a part of them that cannot be escaped or ignored.

Now you've seen what I've become
The artist is revealing to the world that their descent into insanity has changed them in fundamental ways.

Now you've seen what I can do
The artist is warning others about the dangerous and destructive potential of their insanity.

Now you've seen what I'm capable of
The artist is acknowledging their own capacity for violence, chaos, and destruction as a result of their insanity.

Welcome to the diary of a man that lost his mind so long ago
The singer is inviting others to explore the inner workings of their mind and the journey that led them into insanity.

Welcome to the shell of a man with a heart so black and cold
The artist is acknowledging the emotional and mental void that their insanity has created within them, leaving them hollow and numb.

Over and over in my head
The singer is trapped in a cycle of thoughts and emotions that perpetuate their insanity and maintain the illusion of safety they have created for themselves.
