Insanity
Kina Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

No pressure, lesser each day
Ain't gotta take it and no catch up, set my own pace
Can't even feel the fear now
Closer to the end now do what I feel

Feels closer, grip almost gone
I'm feelin' looser, so tired of tryin' to hold on
It's lookin' crystal clear now
Borderline is near now, I can just breathe

I'm headed for the brink of insanity
And I hope to get there soon
I'm tired of being sane in this world now
There's too much to be consumed

I'm headed for the brink of insanity
I can see the door not far ahead
I hope that they sedate me
And give me a rest

I don't know if I'll be back home, I kinda like it
I been caught up in life, work too long
I kinda like the idea, I can't even feel here
I can just be

Ignore me if I seem insane 'cause I
I'm so happy life ain't where I am
I'm headed for a world too deep for the to get to
Set myself free

I'm headed for the brink of insanity
And I hope to get there soon
I'm tired of being sane in this world now
There's too much to be consumed

I'm headed for the brink of insanity
I can see the door not far ahead




I hope that they sedate me
And give me a rest

Overall Meaning

The song "Insanity" by Kina is a deep reflection of the artist's struggle to cope with the pressure of modern-day living. The opening lines express a sense of liberation that comes with shedding away the anxiety and self-doubt that often accompanies a fast-paced lifestyle. The lyric, "No pressure, lesser each day, ain't gotta take it and no catch up, set my own pace" captures this feeling of control and the freedom to do things at one's own pace, without succumbing to society's expectations.


However, as the song progresses, the artist delves further into her own psyche, revealing a sense of detachment from reality. The lines, "I'm so happy life ain't where I am, I'm headed for a world too deep for them to get to, set myself free" suggest a dissociation from the world around her. Kina is searching for a sense of release from her day-to-day existence, even if it means exploring the unknown territory of insanity.


The chorus is particularly poignant, as the artist declares that she is "headed for the brink of insanity" and "tired of being sane in this world now." The repetition of this sentiment drives home the artist's sense of disillusionment with modern living. In the end, the artist yearns for the sedation and rest that comes with a temporary departure from reality.
