Sky McCreery Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Telling me things far from the truth?
I don′t understand, I am your man
I just don't know what to do
I think the best thing is for me to go
I think the best thing is for me to go
But you won′t let me go, won't let me go, won't let me go
You′re rippin′ my clothes, rippin' my clothes, rippin′ my soul out
I think the best thing is for me to go
I think the best thing is for me to
Let me get back to my cog on the stage
I know punching me just makes you feel safe
But now babe, I know you are insane. (You are insane, yeah)
Even though I know it's fked, I continuе ′baiting
I think we are out of luck, yeah, it's timе to let go-oh-no
Just let go
Why can′t you just talk to me?
I don't see what's so hard
Act like you′re my best friend, maybe you could find my heart
But you won′t let me go, won't let me go, won′t let me go
Now
You're rippi′g my clothes, rippin' my clothes, rippin′ my soul out
I think the best thing is for me to go
I'll go, yeah
Let me get back to my cog on the stage
I know punching me just makes you feel safe
But now babe, I know you are insane. (You are insane, yeah)
Even though I know it's fked, I continue baiting
I think we are out of luck, yeah, it′s time to let go-oh-no
Just let go
It feels we′re always standing at the crossroads
Just let go
I can see now I've blinded by you
Just let go
I can see now I′ve blinded by you
The lyrics of Sky McCreery's song Insane discuss a toxic and perhaps abusive relationship between two people where one is lying and the other is confused and unsure of what to do. The singer is expressing frustration and anger towards their partner who is deceptive and manipulative towards them. They suggest that it may be best for them to leave the relationship altogether, but their partner won't let them go and instead tries to control and strip them of their identity.
The line "You're ripping my clothes, ripping my soul out" suggests that the singer's partner is causing them significant emotional harm by tearing away at their sense of self. Despite the harm they are experiencing, the singer is struggling to break free from the relationship and is continuing to engage with their partner despite it being a harmful situation. The repetition of the line "I think the best thing is for me to go" highlights the singer's struggle to break free from the relationship and their partner's insistence on keeping them trapped.
Overall, the lyrics of Insane paint a picture of a destructive and unhealthy relationship that the singer is struggling to leave. It is a powerful and emotional depiction of the emotional turmoil that can come with an abusive relationship.

This is one of my favourite songs from him. It broke me when I first listened to this song. Cos I was in an abusive relationship before, I don't even know how to let the person go.
Thank you for releasing this song 🥹
