With a charismatic voice leading their sonic explosion, the combination of their distorted guitars, dense bass and emphatic drum-beats create a heavy but groovy cocktail, topped by strikes of melodic dynamites.
Live shows have always been of equally main concern for the band, as Ganzi Gun is successfully working their way up, engaging Αthenian crowds since 2011. With a few line-up changes and one well-accepted demo, the band entered the studio in Spring 2014 for the recordings of debut album “Welcome to the Show”.
Enlisting collaborations with international virtuoso Bob Katsionis (Firewind, Outloud) and French producer David Prudent (Stonebringer, Astarte), 'Welcome to the Show' is impatiently due for an early 2015 release via ROAR! Rock Of Angels Records.
Insane
Ganzi Gun Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It's time to breath
Feels like I am free
A pleasant smell is in the air
The sky is turning blue again
The world I knew it is long gone
My senses now are turning on
Where the hell I'm supposed to be
Fear overwhelming me
I'm trying to hide but screams are near
Empty walls are colored red
And poison eyes are scared
Shouting like I'm insane
Feeling like there is no pain
The world's divided before my eyes
Can't tell the truth from lies
Screaming, ripping my own chains
Blood is boiling in my veins
The sun is rising now
But I'm alone
The veil of ignorance is gone
My future seems so brighter on
I can't explain the joy I feel
I want to share but no one's here
Loneliness is my new friend
Hope is fear but I don't care
There is a voice inside my head
Set me free, that's all it says
I'm heading back where I began
My knees are shaking I'm so numb
The wall of clarity is gone
My switch of sanity is off
Shouting like I'm insane
Feeling like there is no pain
The world's divided before my eyes
Can't tell the truth from lies
Screaming, ripping my own chains
Blood is boiling in my veins
The sun is rising now
But I'm alone
Shouting like I'm insane
Feeling like there is no pain
The world's divided before my eyes
Can't tell the truth from lies
Screaming, ripping my own chains
Blood is boiling in my veins
The sun is rising now
But I'm alone
The song "Insane" by Ganzi Gun explores themes of disorientation, fear, and isolation. The singer wakes up to a world that feels unfamiliar, as if the world they once knew is long gone. They feel a sense of freedom and notice small pleasures like a pleasant smell in the air and the sky turning blue. However, their senses are heightened and they are unsure of their surroundings, feeling lost and uncertain.
The lyrics convey a sense of overwhelming fear and paranoia. The singer tries to hide, but the screams of others are nearby, suggesting a chaotic and dangerous environment. The description of empty walls colored red and scared poison eyes adds to the intensity of the imagery, hinting at violence and distress.
The repetition of the phrase "Shouting like I'm insane" emphasizes the singer's feeling of madness or confusion. They describe feeling numb and detached from reality, unable to distinguish between truth and lies. The imagery of ripping their own chains suggests a desire for liberation or escape from whatever oppressive situation they find themselves in.
Despite the rising sun, symbolizing hope and a new beginning, the singer remains alone. They feel a veil of ignorance has been lifted, allowing them to see a brighter future, but there is no one to share this newfound clarity with. Loneliness becomes their companion, and they view hope as a fearful emotion. This sense of isolation is further emphasized by the repetition of the line "But I'm alone," highlighting the singer's solitude and alienation.
Overall, "Insane" explores the disorienting and isolating effects of a world that feels unfamiliar and dangerous. The lyrics also touch on the desire for freedom and the struggle to maintain sanity in the face of chaos.

Wake up wake up
Awake from your slumber
It's time to breathe
It's time to take in the fresh air
Feels like I am free
I feel liberated
A pleasant smell is in the air
A delightful fragrance fills the atmosphere
The sky is turning blue again
The sky is regaining its vibrant blue color
The world I knew it is long gone
The familiar world I was accustomed to has disappeared
My senses now are turning on
My senses are awakening
Where the hell I'm supposed to be
I'm unsure of my intended destination
My mind is aching much to think
My mind is overwhelmed with thoughts
Fear overwhelming me
Fear is engulfing my being
I'm trying to hide but screams are near
I'm attempting to conceal myself, but the sound of screams is approaching
Empty walls are colored red
The bare walls are stained with the color of blood
And poison eyes are scared
Eyes filled with malice and venom are filled with fear
Shouting like I'm insane
Communicating in a manner resembling madness
Feeling like there is no pain
Experiencing a sense of numbness where pain is absent
The world's divided before my eyes
The world appears fragmented and divided when I observe it
Can't tell the truth from lies
Unable to differentiate between truth and deception
Screaming, ripping my own chains
Vociferously breaking free from the restraints that bind me
Blood is boiling in my veins
My blood is coursing with intense fervor
The sun is rising now
The sun is ascending into the sky
But I'm alone
However, I am in solitude
The veil of ignorance is gone
The barrier of unknowingness has been removed
My future seems so brighter on
My future appears significantly more promising
I can't explain the joy I feel
I am unable to articulate the immense happiness I am experiencing
I want to share but no one's here
I desire to express myself, but there is no one present
Loneliness is my new friend
Feeling alone has become my constant companion
Hope is fear but I don't care
The concept of hope elicits fear, yet I remain unaffected
There is a voice inside my head
A voice resides within my mind
Set me free, that's all it says
It implores to release me from my restraints
I'm heading back where I began
I am returning to my starting point
My knees are shaking I'm so numb
I am trembling with numbness in my knees
The wall of clarity is gone
The barrier of understanding has vanished
My switch of sanity is off
My mental stability has been disabled
