‘Insane’ was the first demo we finished for this album, it was written in a house on a vineyard in France, where we locked ourselves in for about 10 days. It was the first song where we felt we were on to something again, a typical ‘’spark’’ you need when making a record.
Insane Lyrics
[Verse 1]
A seat on the stand
As you're causing a row
There to proof again that I am
Just there in both the wrong time and the wrong place
[Verse 2]
I plead innocent
But you're dragging me down
Down a road where I know I can't
Get time to raise up my guard for you, can't wait
[Chorus]
Till I cave
It's not the words
Not the fear or the doubt
Not the lack of heart that takes me out
It's the knowing that you can't relate
When you're insane
[Verse 3]
Scenes of distress
They follow me around
Till I lose again and by then
You might be calm but my head will explode
[Pre-Chorus]
I'm out of moves here
I swallow it down
Like a poison undefined that
Enters my veins like at thread that I can't shake
[Chorus]
Till I cave
It's not the words
Not the fear or the doubt
Not the lack of heart that takes me out
It's the knowing that you can't relate
When you're insane
It's not the pain
Not the bruise or the scar
Not the lack of love that breaks me down
It's the knowing that you can't refrain
‘Cause you're insane
[Bridge]
I know I wait too long
Before I will break a bond
I know my body froze
My greatest loss
[Chorus]
It's not the words
Not the fear or the doubt
Not the lack of heart that takes me out
It's the knowing that you can't relate
When you're insane
It's not the pain
Not the bruise or the scar
Not the lack of love that breaks me down
It's the knowing that you can't refrain
‘Cause you're insane
[Outro]
When you're insane
It's the knowing that you can't refrain
When you're insane

Who produced Insane's ?
Insane was produced by Kensington & Garth Richardson.
When did Kensington release Insane?
Kensington released Insane on Fri Nov 15 2019.
What inpsired the song?
There are definitely some nods to the eighties, Peter Gabriel is an inspiration, sound-wise. The lyric focusses on someone who can’t be reached, can’t be reasoned with and the frustration that follows.
What was the process of making the song like?
This was a song which almost didn’t change from the demo, apart from the outro, so we felt quite familiar and comfortable with this song. One of the most important things was getting the bass- and drum groove exactly right. The song needs to roll!
