Everyone Is Totally Insane Lyrics

Hear me out for I was joyful once, like everyone
Hear me out I must have changed sometime
And all at once 'cause it seems
That nothing stays the same as certainly as me
Yeah nothing stays the same but me

Well I have toiled and I have tamed
Constricted and constrained
Just to learn about how everyone is the same
I am old and I am lame, and ruthlessly estranged
Ask me then what I have gained from almost everyone
Uh ho

Hear me out for I had everything indeed
Hear me out I must have changed

Well I have toiled and I have tamed
Constricted and constrained
Just to learn about how everyone is totally insane now
I am old and I am lame, and ruthlessly estranged
Ask me then what I have gained from almost everyone

Uh ho

Hear me out for I was joyful once, like everyone
Hear me out I must have changed

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

About

Genius Annotation

A slow, moody song with a rigid drum patern and heavily distorted guitars.

The lyrics are melancholy, describing a jaded feeling of frustration with the idiosyncrasies of other people. It’s apparently about Taylor-Taylor’s parents, as he remarked on a track-by-track analysis of the album for NME:

You know how you forget that no matter how fucked-up and crazy your circle of friends are, your parents always manage to outdo them somehow?
