Insane
emmet Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You push and you pull it, but life won't give an inch
You waited, debated, sedated enough as it is
And I'll be alright when the night is over
And all of these dreams fade away
It feels like I'm drunk and the world is sober
Slowly I'm going insane
Empty handed and stranded
With so much boom to fall
You trusted, were spoon fed, in the end




Were betrayed by them all
You're busted and rusted, how quickly they forgot

Overall Meaning

These lyrics are from the song "Insane" by Emmet. The song is about the struggle of dealing with life's challenges and the feeling of going crazy due to the pressure from it. The opening lines "You push and you pull it, but life won't give an inch" describe how it feels like nothing is going our way despite our best efforts. The next lines "you waited, debated, sedated enough as it is" show a sense of frustration with trying to solve the problems that life brings us. The rest of the lyrics describe the feeling of being abandoned and betrayed by those we trusted and how it leads to a sense of insanity.


The chorus "And I'll be alright when the night is over, and all of these dreams fade away" conveys a sense of hopelessness and fear, with the realization that life is unpredictable and that its challenges cannot be easily overcome. The line "It feels like I'm drunk and the world is sober, slowly I'm going insane" paints a vivid picture of how someone who is struggling with life's challenges feels like they're living in an alternate reality, where everyone else seems to be coping fine except for them.

I haven't seen spoof style art in a long time. Also, I am with Emmet. I'll throw hands with Pokémon God.

@JurassicLion2049

Idk why I know you said “creep” yet my brain heard you call Arceus a “crip” and I laughed way too hard.

@remberedink

Haha! I love it! Emmet going "Subway systems >:) and Pokemon Battles :D" was cute

@avb2550

Emmet going TAKEN on Arceus XD I wanna see that now

@gemrock

Ok this made me laugh 🤣🤣🤣 but I see why Arceus used her voice to avoid getting his butt kicked. Emmet is going to travel back in time to kick some Pokémon butt.

@genocidebob3273

Wait until emmet finds a girl whit that voice arceuse will regret everything maybe

@skeletonwarrior9393

The fact that emmet breaks his phone with his own grip-strength amuses me more than it should, I think.

@AdrienDub

@nomercymegalo4838
