Insane
N.O.Mad Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Dearly beloved, for your entertainment
It's my pleasure to introduce to you hell's latest arrival
The equal-opportunity killer, Alastor

Hello, it's nice to meet you (hello)
Oh, can you tell me where I am?
I don't know how I got here
But I, I think I'm starting to understand

I don't belong among the angels
And baby, that's just fine with me
The things I did up there were high school
But now I'm going for my degree

Hey, sorry, but you just got in my way
I promise honey, I can feel your pain
And maybe I enjoy it just a little bit
Does that make me insane?
Haven't been the same since I expired
Doesn't mean that I plan to retire
And now I have the power to bathe all of you in entertaining fire

Wait a minute, do I know you?
Weren't you an old pal of mine?
Departed from us far too early
But now we're meeting a second time
We used to have such fun together
And maybe you have what I need
But first I have one tiny question
Tell me, do you demons bleed?

Hey, sorry, but you just got in my way
I promise honey, I can feel your pain
And maybe I enjoy it just a little bit
Does that make me insane?
Haven't been the same since I expired
Doesn't mean that I plan to retire
And now I have the power to bathe all of you in entertaining fire
(Yeah, alright)

Hey, sorry, but you just got in my way
I promise honey, I can feel your pain
And maybe I enjoy it just a little bit
Does that make me insane?
Haven't been the same since I expired
Doesn't mean that I plan to retire
And now I have the power to bathe all of you in entertaining fire

Sorry, but you just got in my way
I promise honey, I can feel your pain

And maybe I enjoy it just a little bit
Does that make me insane?

However, I believe I am beginning to comprehend

I don't belong among the angels
I do not fit in with the heavenly beings

And baby, that's just fine with me
And my dear, I am completely content with that

The things I did up there were high school
The actions I performed in the realm above were juvenile

But now I'm going for my degree
Yet now, I am aiming for mastery

Hey, sorry, but you just got in my way
I apologize, but you have obstructed my path

You left us prematurely

Yet now we are being reunited once again

We used to have such fun together
In the past, we used to have a great time together

And maybe you have what I need
And maybe you possess what I require

But first I have one tiny question
However, first, I have a small query

Tell me, do you demons bleed?
Inform me, do demons possess the ability to bleed?

Sorry, but you just got in my way
Apologies, but you have just obstructed my path

I promise honey, I can feel your pain
I assure you, my dear, I am capable of sensing your anguish
