Insane
Sally Crosby Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I don't know if we should let things go
I'm not sure if we're better off alone, I don't know
I can't say if we're better off this way
I'm not sure, when we fight what are we fighting for?
I don't know if I can keep putting one foot in front of the other
I'm not sure if I'm cut out for making it out of this one ok
'Cause baby I'm insane for you, I'm insane
I don't know how to want to keep you out of the frame
Well baby I'm insane
I'm insane for you, and you're insane for me too
Keep me warm, keep me in top form, and take me legs
Carry me from here to bed
I don't think I can love someone when I do not love myself
Take these pills, and swallow them to hide the pain of you
And after this I think I might be through
My therapy is the pain of losing you
I don't think I can keep putting one foot in front of the other
I'm not sure if I'm cut out for making it out of this one ok
I don't know how to take you out of my brain
'Cause baby I'm insane for you
Baby I'm insane
I don't know how to want to keep you out of the frame
Well baby I'm insane
I'm insane for you and you're insane for me too
I was so unkind, and you the perfect find but you didn't mind
It must be wrong for me to say it in a song but not to you
But you must think we're through, well not to me
I do not let things be, I am not free
I don't think I can keep putting one foot in front of the other
I'm really not sure that I'm cut out for making it out of this one ok
I don't know how to take you out of the frame
'Cause baby I'm insane for you, baby I'm insane
I don't know how to want to keep you out of the frame
I'm insane for you, and you're insane for me too
I don't want to move on from you so I'll keep you fresh in my mind
I've always been the stubborn kind
I don't want to move on from you and I don't think I could
When baby we're so beautifully, tragically misunderstood
If I'm insane for you, will you be insane for me too?
You be insane for me, and I'll be insane for you too
These lyrics in Sally Crosby's song "Insane" speak to the complexities and struggles of a relationship that is unstable and filled with uncertainty. The singer expresses confusion and indecision throughout the lyrics, unsure of whether it is better to let things slide and let go or to fight for the relationship.
The first paragraph illustrates the singer's uncertainty about the relationship's future. They question whether they are better off alone or together, highlighting the confusion and lack of clarity. They also ponder why they continue to fight, emphasizing the uncertainty and lack of purpose in their conflicts.
The second paragraph delves deeper into the emotional turmoil experienced by the singer. They express feeling overwhelmed and unsure if they can endure the challenges ahead. Doubt that they can handle the situation and the desire to remove thoughts of the loved one from their mind are mentioned. The singer admits their insanity for this person, suggesting a sense of obsession or intense passion that they are unable to control. The use of medication as a metaphor for hiding the pain of the loved one further emphasizes their struggle with letting go.
The third paragraph explores the singer's regret over their past behavior towards the loved one. They acknowledge being unkind yet feel that the loved one did not mind. However, they fear that the loved one believes the relationship is over, but the singer insists this is not the case for them. They express a sense of possessiveness and determination, refusing to let go easily.
In the final paragraph, the singer's conflict and confusion continue. They question their ability to move on and emphasize their stubborn nature. They hold onto the memories of the loved one, refusing to let them fade away. There is a bittersweet acknowledgement that they may never be able to move on, as the relationship is beautifully tragic and misunderstood. The song concludes with a plea for the loved one to reciprocate the singer's insanity, suggesting an intense desire for a mutual and perhaps even dysfunctional love.
Overall, these lyrics paint a picture of a relationship that is filled with uncertainty, emotional turmoil, and a deep connection that is difficult to sever. It showcases the struggles of letting go, as well as the complexity of human emotions and the desire for a reciprocated love, no matter how unstable or unhealthy it may be.

If I'm crazily obsessed with you, will you reciprocate those feelings?
You be insane for me, and I'll be insane for you too
You be as mentally consumed by me as I am by you, and we'll share this mutually obsessive love

How did you find me if you don't mind me asking? :) I'm pretty sure music is for life aha, but I've been going through the mental wars lol so haven't uploaded for a while. I'm on a process of self-discovery and self-empowerment and recovery with therapy and medication :O :D This is a song about being mentally ill with a partner who is also severely mentally ill haha, and I couldn't possibly regret what I went through because I've learnt from it and love is amazing, but it was a bit much that's for sure, lol! Soon I will write happy songs, probably xD not sure how I feel about that hahahahaha! New new new shall arrive. :)
Thanks again for stopping by to drop a compliment. Greatly appreciated, honestly warm feeling inside :D
