Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I see the trouble deep inside
Let's go insane again
Bring back the pain again
Let's go insane again
Bring back the pain again
You'll see the things to overcome
Let's go insane again
Bring back the pain again
Let's go insane again
Bring back the pain again
Dream, dream your broken dream
You'll see the things I never see
Let's go insane again
Bring back the pain again
Let's go insane again
Bring back the pain again
Let's go insane again
Bring back the pain again
Let's go insane again
Bring back the pain again
The lyrics to Daron Malakian and Scars On Broadway's song "Insane" speak to the pain and turmoil that individuals may face within themselves. The first two lines suggest that there are many ways to hide or mask one's struggles, but the singer sees through to the "trouble deep inside." The repetition of the chorus "Let's go insane again, Bring back the pain again," indicates a desire to revisit a state of distress that the singer has experienced before. This could be seen as a form of self-harm or a coping mechanism for dealing with emotional turmoil.
The second verse begins with the command "Run, run baby, run," which suggests a desire to escape or avoid facing problems. However, the singer also implies that overcoming obstacles is possible by saying "You'll see the things to overcome." The final verse speaks to the idea of dreaming and the things that we may imagine or envision for ourselves. The line "Dream, dream your broken dream" acknowledges that the singer sees the brokenness within the dream, which again speaks to the underlying turmoil that the song addresses.
