Insanity Rains
Satellite Party Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Who's going to tell them that it's time to go
Mock the player with the monkey face
Or any man that wanna take his place
Yeah we are drunk with power
Join our bloody parade
Break out your umbrellas today
Rains insanity
Push it on ???
Pusher man
Who's your man
Come and see us every chance they can
Come on
Sip on a little bit of wickedness
Hey man can you dig this
I knew that you could
We are drunk with power
Join the bloody parade
Break out your umbrellas today
Insanity rains
Rains insanity
Come on
Yeah
Do it
Do it
Now forecast tomorrow
Insane
Sipping on a little wickedness
Hey babe can you dig this
I knew that you could
Now we are drunk with power
Join our bloody parade
Break out your umbrellas today
Insanity rains
Rains insanity
Rains
Do it
Do it
Come on
Do it
Do it
Oh
Do it
Do it
The lyrics of Satellite Party's "Insanity Rains" explore themes of power, control, and the exploitation of the masses. The song speaks to the ways in which those in power often take advantage of the vulnerable, while simultaneously mocking and belittling them. The lyrics suggest that those in power are "drunk with power" and are leading a "bloody parade," while the masses are left to deal with the fallout of their actions. The repeated refrain of "insanity rains" is a metaphorical representation of the chaos and destruction that ensues when those in power are allowed to run rampant.
Throughout the song, there is a sense of nihilism and resignation, as if the singer is acknowledging the inevitability of their own destruction. This is perhaps best exemplified in the final lines of the song, which read: "Now forecast tomorrow / Insane." Here, the singer seems to be predicting a future in which insanity and chaos reign supreme, suggesting that there is little hope for change or improvement.
Overall, "Insanity Rains" is a dark and foreboding song that speaks to the dangers of unchecked power and the ways in which it can corrupt and harm those without it.
