No Need for Sanity
Pia Fraus Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Take my hand and see the world like I see
You'll understand the perfectness I need
Make my way from hollow
From the maze I'm sick and tired of…

Fill your mind with blaze that makes you warble
Trying to compete with present day
Do we still need sanity

Let it go no borders any more

…perfectness I need.

Overall Meaning

The opening lines of Pia Fraus's song No Need for Sanity seem like an invitation for someone to join on a journey of complete understanding. It's almost like the singer is asking the listener to take their hand, and see things from their perspective. They speak of needing a "perfectness" that perhaps only they can discern, and they hope that by taking the listener along with them, it will all make sense.

The next set of lines appear to be spoken in frustration. The singer is tired of feeling lost, of being trapped in a "maze". They speak of needing to make their way out of that hollow place, perhaps reaching for something more fulfilling, more concrete. They seem to be looking for a way out of a mental and emotional struggle, and hoping that by sharing their perspective with the listener, they will both find a way out of the maze together.

The chorus is an interesting shift in tone. The singer asks if we still need sanity, questioning whether maintaining a sense of order and logic is truly necessary. Instead, they suggest letting go of all borders, and embracing a more chaotic, unbounded way of viewing the world. It's almost as if they are advocating for a more freeform way of thinking, one that is not constrained by societal norms or expectations.

Line by Line Meaning

Take my hand and see the world like I see
Come with me and experience the world through my perspective

You'll understand the perfectness I need
You will comprehend the exactness I require

Make my way from hollow
Escape the emptiness I feel

From the maze I'm sick and tired of…
I am exhausted of being trapped in this complicated situation

Fill your mind with blaze that makes you warble
Ignite your mind with passion that compels you to sing

Trying to compete with present day
Struggling to contend with the current era

Do we still need sanity
Is it still essential to maintain rationality?

Let it go no borders any more
Let go of restrictions and boundaries
