Temporary Insanity
Deliverance Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
My mind is a pit of morbid fantasy
The more my mind wanders
The more I indulge of a fantasy so un-utterable
The more real it becomes
Imagine I am the king and you are the queen
You lied and said you would set me free
I look in the mirror and what do I see
That I have become an image of Thee
To take your own life is what you have schemed
But for some reason unseen
The victim is me
The ultimate selfishness
To not care for no one else
Because all I think of is me
In my temporary insanity
I look in the mirror and what do I see
That I am you and you are me
Insanity is filling me with unreality
My mind is the pit of a morbid fantasy
The more my mind wanders
The more I indulge of the fantasy that was so un-utterable
The more real it has become
I have fulfilled my fantasy
I learned it was I who lied to me
Now I burn eternally
In my temporary insanity
"Temporary Insanity" is a powerful song by the Christian thrash metal band Deliverance that explores the theme of mental illness and its effects on the perceived reality of the individual. The lyrics describe the singer's struggle with his own mental state, as he feels consumed by paranoid delusions, morbid thoughts, and a sense of unreality that makes him question his own identity. The more he indulges in his fantasies, the more they take over his mind and distort his perception of the world around him.
The song creates a surreal atmosphere that reflects the singer's mental state. The imagery of the king and queen, mirror reflections, and the sense of merging with someone else's identity all contribute to the sense of disorientation and confusion that the song conveys. The lyrics also touch on the theme of suicide, as the singer realizes that he has become a victim of his own self-destructive tendencies.
Overall, "Temporary Insanity" is a poignant and insightful exploration of the psychological effects of mental illness, and a powerful testament to the resilience of the human spirit in the face of adversity.
