Insane
Marshmallow Coast Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Insane, sitting in front of our windowpane
Watching the clock as the hours were creeping along
I sang a song, song, song, song...

In truth, I was the one who was acting uncouth
Holding you back from the curious tale of the night
It wasn't right, right, right, right...
No one else could feel the way I do
No one else could feel the way I do

Insane, sitting in front of our windowpane




Watching the clock as the hours were creeping along
I sang a song, song, song, song...

Overall Meaning

The song "Insane" by Marshmallow Coast is a reflection on a past relationship and the feelings of regret and self-doubt that come with it. The lyrics describe the singer sitting in front of a window, watching the clock and singing to themselves. They realize that they were the one who was holding their partner back from experiencing the joys and mysteries of the night, and that they were acting in an uncool and selfish way. Despite this realization, the singer still feels that their emotions are unique and that no one else could feel the way they do.


The repetition of the phrase "I sang a song, song, song, song" is an interesting use of lyrics as a self-soothing mechanism. It's as if the singer is trying to sing away their guilt and shame, but ultimately, they know that their actions have hurt someone else. The lyrics also touch on the theme of time, as the clock is constantly ticking away, and the hours seem to be creeping along. This creates a sense of unease and anxiety, as if the singer is stuck in a moment they wish they could escape.


Overall, "Insane" is a poignant reflection on the complexities of human relationships and the difficult emotions that come with them.
