This song is about a singer who is becoming increasingly paranoid and therefore on the brink of losing his mind.
The song is famous for the band’s long-lasting refusal to ever play it live. The band would often troll the crowd by playing the intro and then changing to Seek and Destroy or another so...
The Frayed Ends of Sanity Lyrics
[Intro]
Oh wee oh, wee oh
Oh wee oh, wee oh
Oh wee oh, wee oh
Oh wee oh, wee oh
Oh wee oh, wee oh
Oh wee oh, wee ohh
[Verse 1]
Never hunger, never prosper
I have fallen prey to failure
Struggle within, triggered again
Now the candle burns at both ends
Twisting under schizophrenia
Falling deep into dementia
[Chorus]
Old habits reappear
Fighting the fear of fear
Growing conspiracy
Everyone's after me
Frayed ends of sanity
Hear them calling
Hear them calling me
[Verse 2]
Birth of terror, death of much more
I'm the slave of fear, my captor
Never warnings, spreading its wings
As I wait for the horror she brings
Loss of interest, question, wonder
Waves of fear, they pull me under
[Chorus]
Old habits reappear
Fighting the fear of fear
Growing conspiracy
Everyone's after me
Frayed ends of sanity
Hear them calling
Hear them calling me
[Instrumental Break]
[Guitar Solo]
[Verse 3]
Into ruin, I am sinking
Hostage of this nameless feeling
Hell is set free, flooded I'll be
Feel the undertow inside me
Height, hell, time, haste, terror, tension
Life, death, want, waste, mass depression
[Chorus]
Old habits reappear
Fighting the fear of fear
Growing conspiracy
Myself is after me
Frayed ends of sanity
Hear them calling
Frayed ends of sanity
Hear them calling
Hear them calling me
Ah ha ha ha
