Insane
Image Sounds Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

There I was in the darkness, in the shadows, sitin' there like no one cares.
But I saw you across from me...
I pulled you up and we ran, yeah we ran for our precious live.
They said we were crazy...
But I knew we were.
That day I pulled you up saw the merciless life you've lived.
I knew I met the one just like me...
The INSANE o-o-one.
We have lived out lives runnin' from the monsters in the darkness, under ground.
Side by side we lived.
When we knew we couldnt run anymore...
WE FOUGHT!
YEAH WE FOUGHT THE MONSTERS THAT LURK UNDER GROUND!




They called us insane...
But I knew we were...
