Insane
Flume feat. Killer Mike & Moon Holiday Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You don't even have to be brave
Living in a gilded cage
The only risk is that you'll go
Go, Go
Insane
Go, oh oh, oh oh, oh oh
Go, oh oh, oh oh, oh oh
Go
Go insane
And go
Go insane
And go
Go insane
And go, go, go, go insane
And go
Your mind is on track
For games we play these days
With every parth we take
You know your safe, safe, safe
The only risk is that you'll go insane
The only risk is that you'll go insane
And go
Go insane
And go, go, go
Go insane
And go
Go insane
And go, go, go
Go insane
Go insane
Go insane
Go insane
And go, go, go
Go insane
The lyrics of Flume's "Insane" featuring Kanye West seem to be speaking to someone who is experiencing fear, anxiety, and vulnerability. The lyrics suggest that the person doesn't have to be afraid or brave but is instead living in a "gilded cage"- a metaphor for having everything one could want but still feeling trapped. The singer encourages the person not to be afraid of taking risks and potentially going insane.
The chorus of the song repeats the word "insane" over and over again, emphasizing the idea of risking one's sanity for the sake of breaking free. The second verse seems to be questioning the motives of society and the games we play: "Your mind is on track/ For games we play these days/ With every path we take/ You know you're safe, safe, safe". The singer is suggesting that society has created a system where people feel safe but are actually being held back and repressed. The only risk is breaking free and going insane.
Overall, the song seems to be a call to arms for anyone feeling trapped or suffocated by society's norms. It's a reminder that there is always a risk in breaking free, but it's a risk worth taking if it means living life authentically.

[Refrain: Moon Holiday]
The only risk is that you'll go insane
The only risk is that you'll go insane
[Verse: Killer Mike]
This is a calamity, this is some insanity
This ain't what I make them records for, what I reckon for
Girl got a friend and I think we both be checkin' her
The way that we be starin', all our eyes be undressin' her
We should be finessin' her, we should be molestin' her
Instead of walkin' 'round all tense when I pressure her
My mama say it's sin and God won't be blessin' her
Everything about my molecular is secular
I be like: "It feel right", "Baby, you should feel this"
"I can't do this square life", "Baby, this the weirdest"
Sex, drugs, rap and roll, yes, that's my philosophy
Anything other than is livin' in hypocrisy
So if it feel good, baby, I'mma do it
Put that on the blood in my vein, no SuWoo
Did we do it? Yes
Was it fresh? Yes
We achieved higher through desires of the flesh
[Chorus: Moon Holiday]
Go insane
Go insane
Go insane
