Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Whenever she is touching me
She knows she's got control
Of every little thing I feel
(You better let go
You better let go)
Like a little devil boy
But at the same time she
Takes me where I wanna be
(You better let go
You better let go)
Come on you know what I want
She takes me into fantasy
Let me back to reality
(Hey ho hey hey hey ho)
Insanity
Your girlfriend's coming on to me
She eats your heart out can't you see
(Hey ho hey hey hey ho)
Insanity
No you have no idea
She's doings things behind your back
She's creeping up behind you
Telling me "I want you"
(You better let go
You better let go)
Come on girl
Now don't push it girl
Then go to someone else when
You know you hurt me - aouch!
Really really bad
(You better let go
You better let go)
She takes me into fantasy
Let me back to reality
(Hey ho hey hey hey ho)

Sweet as she is she is breaking my heart
Nobody knows it I fell from the start
Heating your life then she blows you away
But I can't stay

You better let go)
She takes me into fantasy
Let me back to reality
(Hey ho hey hey hey ho)
Insanity
Your girlfriend's coming on to me
She eats your heart out can't you see
(Hey ho hey hey hey ho)

The lyrics to Darin's song "Insanity" tell the story of a man who is caught in the middle of a love triangle with his girlfriend and another woman who is trying to steal him away. The woman he is attracted to has control over him and takes him on a fantasy ride, even though he knows she is bad news. When he tries to resist her advances, she continues to pursue him and threatens to break his heart. He feels trapped and unable to escape the situation, hence the insanity.
The song is about the feelings of helplessness and confusion when caught up in a love triangle. The lyrics suggest that the man is torn between his attraction to the other woman and his loyalty to his girlfriend. He knows he shouldn't be with the other woman, but he can't resist her charms. The chorus serves as a warning to his girlfriend that someone else is trying to take him away from her, but he also acknowledges that he is partially to blame for allowing the situation to happen in the first place.
Overall, "Insanity" is a catchy pop song with a deeper message about the complexities of love and relationships.
