Background

Insane was released alongside an accompanying music video, directed by Ryan Valdez,[2] based around the concept of memento mori.[2][3] Scenes featured in the video involve a deceased head coming back to life as a photographer, with an alleged "demonic camera",[4] prepares to capture it.[2]

Themes and composition

"The song Insane is another chapter in my fucking crazy life. It’s about watching things happen and fall apart around me, and there’s nothing I can do about it. I’ve got to the point I don’t relate with anyone that’s normal anymore. I can only relate to people who are going through insanity, or there’s something wrong with them. That’s how I deal. I wrote the lyrics and I looked at them like, ‘What the hell does this mean?’ I just fit with the vibe of the song. It’s one of the heaviest songs on the record. I love it." - Davis[5]

The song has been compared to some of Korn's earlier material.[6]
