Insane
Bakermat CLOVES Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Been tasting like a nightmare
Killing all the worst parts dying
Hit me but I’m not there
Got your back up to me
Speak right through me
Curl up a grim
Then stick the knife in
And tell me it’s a joke
Calm me down
Before I call you out
Using the words that you give
but can’t take
So lose your mind
Like I do all the time
And the worst is that you’re
Worst part is that you’re insane
oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
You you’re insane
oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
You you’re insane
oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Keep looking what you don’t have baby
Don’t ever seem to compare
Go and choose the worst parts of me
And pick it til it’s so clear
Back up from me
Stop fucking on me
Maybe you should go
Curl up a grim
Then stick the knife in
And tell me it’s a joke
Calm me down
Before I call you out
Using the words that you give
but can’t take
So loose your mind
Like I do all the time
And the worst is that you’re
Worst part is that you’re insane
oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
You you’re insane
oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
These lyrics portray a tumultuous and toxic relationship. The singer is expressing their frustration and distress caused by their partner's behavior. They describe their partner's actions as chewing on their bad dreams, symbolizing how the partner seems to feed off the negative emotions and fears of the singer. The taste of a nightmare suggests that the partner's actions are haunting and unpleasant.
The line "Killing all the worst parts dying" implies that the partner's actions have a destructive effect on the singer, causing them to feel like their worst qualities or vulnerabilities are being attacked. Despite this, the singer asserts that the partner's actions do not actually impact them deeply, as they feel detached or unaffected by the partner's attempts to hurt them.
The second verse brings attention to the partner's behavior of constantly comparing and highlighting the flaws and shortcomings of the singer. The partner seems to focus on the negative aspects and deliberately bring them to the surface, causing the singer to feel exposed and vulnerable.
The repetition of the phrase "Calm me down before I call you out" suggests that the singer is growing tired of their partner's harmful behavior and wants them to stop. They are recognizing that the partner uses words as weapons but cannot handle receiving the same treatment. The line "Loose your mind like I do all the time" implies that the singer feels their partner's actions are irrational and unstable, causing both of them to be caught in a cycle of insanity within the relationship.
Overall, these lyrics reveal the pain and frustration of being involved with someone who consistently undermines and hurts the singer. The use of the word "insane" throughout the chorus emphasizes the chaotic and disorienting nature of the relationship, highlighting the partner's irrational and harmful behavior.
Line by Line Meaning
Chewing on my bad dreams darling
Continuously dwelling on my disturbing dreams, my love
Been tasting like a nightmare
Leaving a bitter taste in my mouth, just like a horrifying dream
Killing all the worst parts dying
Eliminating the most negative aspects of myself, fading away
Hit me but I'm not there
Hurt me emotionally, but it doesn't affect me anymore
Got your back up to me
Turned your back on me
Speak right through me
Ignoring my presence, not listening to what I have to say
Whisper where'd you go?
Silently questioning your disappearance, wondering where you are
Curl up a grim
Embrace a somber mood, surrendering to darkness
Then stick the knife in
Inflict emotional pain, causing deep wounds
And tell me it's a joke
Mockingly claim that it's all just a humorous prank
Calm me down
Soothe my anxiety and distress
Before I call you out
Before I confront you and expose your actions
Using the words that you give but can't take
Using the same hurtful words you use against me, but you can't handle them
So lose your mind
Let go of your sanity
Like I do all the time
Like I constantly experience
And the worst is that you're
And the most distressing part is that you are
Worst part is that you're insane
The most unfortunate aspect is that you are mentally unstable
Keep looking what you don't have baby
Forever searching for what you lack, my dear
Don't ever seem to compare
Never able to measure up or be on the same level
Go and choose the worst parts of me
Selecting the most negative aspects of myself
And pick it til it's so clear
Continuously highlighting those flaws until they are painfully obvious
Back up from me
Distance yourself from me
Stop fucking on me
Stop mistreating and manipulating me
Maybe you should go
Perhaps you should leave
Curl up a grim
Embrace a somber mood, surrendering to darkness
Then stick the knife in
Inflict emotional pain, causing deep wounds
And tell me it's a joke
Mockingly claim that it's all just a humorous prank
