Perfect Insanity
Disturbed Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Come inside and be afraid
Of this impressive mess I've made
If you take a look now you will find
I have thrown away my vice
Done away with paradise
See what's going on inside my mind
Please let me out
Please let me out

Please let me

Branded like an animal
I can still feel the burn in my mind
I do believe that you've made your message clear
(I think I'm losin' my mind, I think I'm losin' my mind)
Deprivating, isolating all that I feel
Leaving me with images I know are not real
Are those words of condemnation that I hear
(I think I'm losin' my mind, I think I'm losin' my)

Come inside now, I implore
Do you think you can restore
The crucial pieces missing from my brain
What seems to be the matter dear
Why do you cry and shake with fear
I've only had the best dub me insane
Please let me out
Please let me out
Please let me

Branded like an animal
I can still feel the burn in my mind
I do believe that you've made your message clear
(I think I'm losin' my mind, I think I'm losin' my mind)
Deprivating, isolating all that I feel

Leaving me with images I know are not real
Are those words of condemnation that I hear
(I think I'm losin' my mind, I think I'm losin' my)

Don't know how much I can take
The secret thoughts inside me wake
I've lost what was within me
Oh sweet insanity

Don't know how much I can take
The secret thoughts inside me wake
I've lost what was within me
Oh sweet insanity

Now I try again to find
The thing that was my mind
Behold the other side
That said I've lost my mind

Now I try again to find
The thing that was my mind
Behold the other side
That said I've lost my mind

I've lost my mind! [Repeats]

The lyrics talk about being branded like an animal, feeling the burn in their mind, and hearing words of condemnation which all lead to the singer feeling like they are losing their mind.

The lyrics also seem to indicate that the singer is feeling isolated and deprived of their emotions while being left with images that they know are not real. The chorus repeats the phrase 'Please let me out' three times, which could either be a cry for help or a reflection of the singer's inner thoughts.

Overall, the lyrics depict a melancholic and disturbing portrayal of someone who is struggling with their mental health and has lost control, leading to them feeling like they are losing their mind.

Line by Line Meaning

Come inside and be afraid
Enter and feel the fear that I have created

Of this impressive mess I've made
Behold the chaos that I have created

If you take a look now you will find
Observe the situation and realize

I have thrown away my vice
I abandoned my bad habits

Done away with paradise
I gave up my idea of an ideal life

See what's going on inside my mind
Understand what's happening in my head

Please let me out
I beg to be freed from my situation

Branded like an animal
Marked and labeled like livestock

I can still feel the burn in my mind
The pain continues to weigh on my thoughts

I do believe that you've made your message clear
I understand the point that you're making

(I think I'm losin' my mind, I think I'm losin' my mind)
I feel like I'm losing my sanity

Deprivating, isolating all that I feel
Taking away all that I have and feel, leaving me alone

Leaving me with images I know are not real
Being left with fake pictures in my head

Are those words of condemnation that I hear
Are the words I hear about me judging me negatively

Come inside now, I implore
I plead for a person to come in and help me

Do you think you can restore
Can you fix what is broken in me?

The crucial pieces missing from my brain
The essential parts absent from my mind

What seems to be the matter dear
What is the issue, my love

Why do you cry and shake with fear
Why are you crying and trembling?

I've only had the best dub me insane
The excessive praise made me feel and look crazy

Don't know how much I can take
I don't understand how much pressure I can handle

The secret thoughts inside me wake
My private ideas and emotions get stirred up

I've lost what was within me
I lost what used to be a part of me

Oh sweet insanity
The enjoyable pleasure of going crazy

Now I try again to find
Now I'll make an attempt to search again

The thing that was my mind
The thoughts and ideas that defined me

Behold the other side
Noticing the opposite perspective

That said I've lost my mind
That accused me of losing myself mentally

I've lost my mind! [Repeats]
I'm gone crazy and out of my mind
