CASE OF INSANITY
The Roosters Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Only faces appeared in my mind
You know they say
it's only insane
It seems that nothing
ever changes
Oh! I don't care I don't care
'Cause now
When my mind's away
in the daytime
Watching TV with no sounds
You know I wanna make
my life complete
It's harder and harder
as time goes on
Oh! I don't care I don't care
'Cause now
I'm just a case of insanity
When I woke in the morning
Only faces appeared in my mind
You know they say
it's only insane
It seems that nothing
ever changes
Oh! I don't care I don't care
'Cause now
I'm just a case of insanity
'Cause now
I'm just a case of insanity
'Cause now
I'm just a case of insanity
'Cause now
I'm just a case of insanity
'Cause now
I'm just a case of insanity
The Roosters' "Case of Insanity" is a song about feeling like you're going insane. The lyrics imply that the singer wakes up in the morning with nothing but faces on his mind, reflecting his obsession with other people's actions and perhaps his own lack of control over his life. Despite being aware of his "insanity," he seems to embrace it, chanting "Oh! I don't care I don't care" repeatedly throughout the song.
The second verse suggests that the singer's mind leaves him during the day, as he finds himself watching TV with no sound, still consumed by his obsession. He wants to make his life complete, but time passes and it only gets harder. The repetition of the refrain "I'm just a case of insanity" emphasizes the feeling of being trapped in his own mind, unable to escape.
The overall mood of the song is dark and introspective. The Roosters capture the frustration of feeling like you're losing control, while also acknowledging that there may be some comfort in embracing that loss of control.

When I woke in the morning
Upon awakening in the morning
Only faces appeared in my mind
I could only see faces in my thoughts
You know they say it's only insane
People claim that it's a form of madness
It seems that nothing ever changes
It appears that there's no transformation happening
Oh! I don't care I don't care
I am indifferent and unaffected by it
'Cause now I'm just a case of insanity
For now, I've become a subject of lunacy
When my mind's away in the daytime
During the day when I'm mentally absent
Watching TV with no sounds
I'm watching TV without any audio
You know I wanna make my life complete
I desire to attain fulfillment in my life
It's harder and harder as time goes on
It's increasingly difficult as time passes by
Oh! I don't care I don't care
I am indifferent and unaffected by it
'Cause now I'm just a case of insanity
For now, I've become a subject of lunacy
'Cause now I'm just a case of insanity
For now, I've become a subject of lunacy
'Cause now I'm just a case of insanity
For now, I've become a subject of lunacy
'Cause now I'm just a case of insanity
For now, I've become a subject of lunacy
