Insanity Pt. II: Delirium
Forlorn Legacy Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Riveted to my conciousness
Stained my judgement paralyzed
My brain handcuffed, I just stare
At the white scenery of my
Prison cell, I shake as the pressure
Builds up in my head!
I scream, so these walls
This time I need to stay awake
This time I must not forget,who I am
Another dose
Another handful of pills
Handful of dreams
I'll be torn apart
When the ayr starts to taste
Strange and damp 10 years have
Passed, 10 years lost in a maze
You've designed in my mind
Now I'm immune to the "cure"
Reality slowly leaks in my mind
I was caught up in this twisted game
Now I'm back from being insane
The stains are all washed away
I'll revenge for every single day.
The lyrics to Forlorn Legacy's song Insanity Pt. II: Delirium depict a person who is trapped in their own mind and delusional thoughts due to their lunacy. The first line establishes the layer of insanity that is smothering the person, which is "thick" and difficult to get out of. The next line mentions that the insanity is riveted to their consciousness, meaning it has become a part of their thought process, and they cannot separate from it. It then goes on to describe how their judgment is impaired, and their brain is handcuffed, leaving them unable to move or think clearly. The person is in a prison of their own making, unable to escape the white scenery of their mind and feeling pressure build up inside their head.
As the lyrics progress, it becomes apparent that the person is heavily medicated and addicted to the pills that keep them "sane." They describe taking another dose, another handful of pills, and going through this routine many times before. However, it is not enough to keep them safe from the damp, strange taste of reality that is slowly creeping back in. The person has been lost in this maze of delusion for 10 years and is now immune to any so-called "cure." The lyrics take a turn towards the end as the person declares that they have washed away the stains of insanity and will now seek revenge for every single day they have lost.
Overall, the lyrics of this song are a haunting portrayal of the mind of someone who is suffering from delirious and delusional thoughts. They paint a vivid picture of a person who is trapped in their own mind and cannot escape the insanity that has taken hold of them.

Thock layer of lunacy
A heavy layer of madness
Riveted to my consciousness
Fixed in my mind
Stained my judgement paralyzed
Tainted my ability to make rational decisions
My brain handcuffed, I just stare
My mind is restrained, and I am unable to take action
At the white scenery of my
Looking at the blank surroundings of my
Prison cell, I shake as the pressure
Cell, trembling under the mental strain
Builds up in my head!
Mounts in intensity within me!
I scream, so these walls
I shout to make the walls around me remember
Can remember my name
Who I am and not let me forget
This time I need to stay awake
This time I cannot afford to fall asleep
This time I must not forget,who I am
This time I cannot forget about my identity
Another dose
Another round of medication
Another handful of pills
Another quantity of medicines
Handful of dreams
A small number of aspirations
I'll be torn apart
I will be destroyed
When the ayr starts to taste
When the atmosphere begins to seem
Strange and damp 10 years have
Unusual and moist 10 years have passed
Passed, 10 years lost in a maze
10 years that seemed lost in a complex labyrinth have passed
You've designed in my mind
That you have architected in my psyche
Now I'm immune to the "cure"
Now I'm immune to being cured
Reality slowly leaks in my mind
Reality seeping into my mental state gradually
I was caught up in this twisted game
I was ensnared in this contorted scenario
Now I'm back from being insane
Now I'm back to my senses
The stains are all washed away
All the impurities have been cleansed
I'll revenge for every single day.
I'll take revenge for every day that was a burden on me.
